June 2025 hatch-a-long

[junior67]

I got 14 Jubilee Orpington eggs so 2 extras. All arrived in good condition and are in the incubator with the turner off for a few days so hopefully any air cells that need to settle can.

Next 2 groups should come tm. 6 lemon Owlbeard and I think 12 BCM.

I got the rest of my eggs today. 12 BCM and 8 lemon owlbeard. So putting 34 eggs total in the incubator!!!!!!!!

I will candle the Orpington eggs on Sat which will be day 3! hopefully I will see something.

Nice! I'm excited to hear how it goes and what fertility rates end up being.

I have 8 ducks going, 5 of which are on day 28. Of the 7 new eggs, I had 4 quitters - not super surprising considering I had 2 4-h long power outages.

I tried incubating 7 chicken eggs from my new hen just in case but after 5 days it looked like she either never met a roo before or it was too long ago, so no new chicks after all.

I feel your pain. Out of the 14 eggs I started with, I've ended up with TWO that might make it to lockdown Tuesday.

Candled the jubilee Orpington eggs on day 3. I would say 3 no development, 9 yes and 2 not sure!! So starting out strong especially since they were in the mail for 6 days.
