June 7 & 10 hatch date - Update

[IggiMom]

This is Day 22. I have one pip and one egg moving a little, but no pip.

Is there any hope since it is Day 22? The 4H website said that anything after Day 21 was pretty much a goner.

I would give them a day or two, you never know.

if ur eggs were not completly fresh wehn u put them in the bator or there was alot of change in temp it usually takes them a few extra days to hatch good luck

Most of mine hatched on day 22. They're doing fine. I got 10/11 so I'd leave them in another couple of days.

Warnng very pic heavy
I finally have pics of my babies. Sorry it took so long to post them. They will go from hatching to now. I got the first 3 from Lockedharts and the little black old english bantam from bellisamo. The two last ones are my mutts, They are mixed with a Jersey Giant hen and Domonique roo and the other must have had a midnight visitor. I don't have a black roo and the hen is red. Maybe it's part Buzzare from the way he acts. It is definately a roo,(the black one of mine)
Right after they hatched from lockedharts

Cochin Bantam Splash and Lavender Orphington from lockedharts

Mix from Lockedharts

Here is all 3, 24 hours old from Lockedharts. Very nice and healthy chicks.

Black Old English Bantam from Bellisamo

My mix from Jersey Giant hen and Domonique roo, The ones from my Dom roo always seem to turn out to be roos also and beautiful ones at that.

Here is an older one from the same roo but a Silver laced Wydonette hen. The red one is from my RIR roo and red sex link hen. These are older ones of course you can tell from the pics.

This one is the one with the mystery daddy. The hen is the Jersey Giant.

Ok, now the Quail. I only had 3 hatch and they all died but heres a pic of the first 2. They all looked the same but 1 was slightly bigger. I don't know what went wrong. They wouldn't eat or drink and whre just crazy. They didn't stop running around and chirping until they where too weak to do it anymore.

I have one from Magsrags that I was mistaken and thought neede help. I stepped in to early. It hadn't absorbed the yolk completely. There is just a tiny bit left. I didn't detach it from the egg and wrapped it in a moist papertowel and put back in the bator. I really hope I didn't kill it. It is just what I was wanting from her mix of Sikie/Aracuna. A solid black one. I'll keep it moist. It shouldnt take more than a day becaue there was just about an eraser amount of yolk there. The eraser on the end of a pencil. If that much.
She did send me more since 5 out of the 6 I got where infertile. But all life is precious and should be preserved so I will do what I can to help it. I'll keep you all posted.

None of the Turkey eggs I got where fertile. All yolks where in tact. When I did the egtopsy they looked as if I could just fry them up righ then. They just wasn't fertile to begin with. There where 8 of those. I won't say where I got those.

Wow.. Is anyone else excited to hatch again?!?!?! I think I might have an addiction

Yay, so far, on hatching day, I have 8 total. Here's a pic of the first ones that came 1 day early...so cute!!

I'm thinking I have 'cold' spots in my 1588, because even candling, some seemed clearly further along than others...the others in there are quiet, no pipping or anything yet, and this is day 21. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed too for more!

 

[CrazyFowlFreak]

Hatching now! I have seven pips and three active right now. One silkie pipped yesterday morning and has done nothing else. It is moving, I poked an air hole in the white membrane so she wouldn't run out. Is that okay to do? Should I leave her alone or help her out of the shell?

 

[pattyjean73]

Well my last 4 eggs still haven't pipped so I'm guessing they're no good. My 13th chick that still had the yolk attached to it died tonight so I'm down to 12 chicks. I'll take pictures tomorrow and post them.

 

[simplyscrambled]

NOTHING from the rest of my eggs!

It's day 22. I'm still hoping...

Otherwise, my numbers in my brand new Genesis is only 8 out of 43 started!
