July 2015 Hatch A Long HAL

Well I set 51 eggs in the bator on july 2 and be setting more eggs july 5. Of course they are ones I bought and are a barnyard mixed. Nice colored eggs too. This doesn't include my turkey eggs that mommy didn't want to sit any more when one baby hatched so I have one that hatched this morning and waiting on 6 more baby turkeys to hatch in the next few days. On one hand I am excited but the other hand.. chicken math..

All the best.. Post pics of the baby chicks pls.
 
Just set 48 eggs tonight 7/3. 14 barred rocks, 17 copper maran, 17 delawares. This is our first hatch and we are using the still air Farm Innovators model 2100. Will be hand turning eggs 3 times per day. Good luck to all.

All our silkie eggs showing development
All EE showing development
Can't see thru the Lav orp eggs very well.
Checking again Tuesday night, someone added a couple extra stragglers in the last day...lol
The more the merrier.
 
Day 6 candling of my barnyard mix eggs I set on the 28th 7 developing well (includes 2 eggs set on 21st), 2 clears and 4 not so sure, Will candle again on day 10. Did not candle all 18 delaware eggs purchased from a local farmer. Will candle all eggs on day 10.
 
Day 9 candling, out of 42 shipped eggs, 37 are developing nicely! I'm stoked. Legbars, Ameraucanas, Marans and Olive eggers. I saw movement in several, I wonder if they might be a few days ahead of schedule.
 
Day 3 I candled wasn't planning to until day 7 anyway.. 4/6 paintxblack silkie eggs show development... 2/6 clear, 2/6 mixed silkie eggs show development, 1/6 looks like a very early quitter, 3/6 clear, 2/6 mixed bantam eggs show development , 3/6 clear, 1/6 was oozing junk so I have discarded that egg before it explodes, 4/6 black bantam eggs show development can see their little hearts beating :), 2/6 clear. These are ebay eggs and wasn't expecting much from them so 50% so far I'm quite happy with.

That's a great percentage of development. all the best.

Day 7. Egg 1 broke (I dropped it day 4) and egg 11 seems to be a clear. All the rest look ok. Crap.
All the best.
