July 2015 Hatch A Long HAL

[Ciryluk3g]

I'm on day 10 now and since my last post I've gained a 13th egg its very porous and I thought it was a non starter but there's definitely life in there so I have 7 silkie eggs of various colours, 4 Black Japanese bantams and 2 from a bantam mixture (I think they're cuckoo marans) some of the air cells seem a bit dodgy either funny shaped or detached I'm debating whether turning them to upright position until lock down to improve their chances, any thoughts?

First two pippers guys, and they're tolbunt Polish! I don't want to go haying so I can watch them more!

I have two gauges in there. Right now they read 58% and 23%, but I just turned the eggs.

already having issues with the chicken eggs...air cell detachment..how much lower is my chance of hatching anyone have ideas =/

I've got several air cell detachments too. This hatch rate isn't going good at all. If I get 10 out of the 90+ I might be happy.

Good luck everyone.. The more the merrier.

yeah i have 18 eggs and about half of them are air cell detachments ... what are you doing for yours? i have mine in egg cartons point end down and plan to rotate individually by hand . temp is allowed to range 99-101

I put mine in cartons hole cut out at bottom for air flow pointy end down and I hand turned, mine did reattach and I plan to take them out the carton on lockdown I read some great advice it seems to have worked but im new at this good luck with your hatch

Today I just picked up 18 Delaware eggs from a farmer close by and will be setting them tonight. I'm expecting hatch date to be 18th and 19th July.
I will also be testing the fertility of my backyard 8 hens and 1 rooster, I don't expect much because I think the ratio is too large for one rooster to cover but he is so aggressive to other roosters can't put a second one there.

Anyone else hatching in July?

I hope to see mine hatching around July 24th....bought off ebay 6 La Breese white and she included two extra?. They came very well packed and I tried to candled them and can't tell much yet but they look hopeful. First time to make my own styrofoam incubator and to try hatching my own chicks.
I have 2 BR and 2 RIR that I bought early spring they were about 3 weeks old pullets from our l local store. and they are getting big enough to start laying now.
