June Hatch A Long

[MelissaRose]

I just hatched one chick and I'm planning to set some more eggs this week under a broody. So count me in! I dont think it will be more than six, but I'lll let you know the eggxact number when I set them. Good idea! I had fun with the easter hatch along also!

That made me laugh ...

She's been such a good Mama. I feel bad taking them but the coop there isn't set up for babies.

So I just did a recandle on my Australian Spotted Duck eggs. Several had some darkening going on already. This had me wondering if it was warm enough somewhere along the way for them to start developing. Even though the air cells are dancing around the egg.

I decided after 8 1/2 hours sitting next to the incubator I would put them in the incubator tonight. The are all sitting in cut up egg cartons so they are standing up. No idea how long they will be sitting like that. But my guess is anywhere between 2-4 days. Hoping for a good hatch on these guys.

Duckling pile!! I candled the last egg, definitely a dud. So these three sweet babies are home now. Two girls and a boy, not bad!! The next two weeks for the incubator babies are going to drag.

Adorable!!! Makes me want to squish them and huggle them.

Florentine jumped nests. The eggs were cool when I got to them. I think she may have been off for 5 or so hours.

Is there any hope? I candled a few with my phone as I transferred them and there was development. We’re on day 9.

That early there should be hope. Just get them back under her and warm, they should be ok but a little delayed.

Thanks! And I’ll keep a closer eye on her. I think she was really peeved when a few of our pullets were inspecting the boxes today, and one of our hens actually jumped in her nest.

Well my eggs went into the incubator on the 4th of May but will be done cooking on the 7th of June so I guess I can be part of this one too. For some reason my incubator got turned off today and went down to 78 degrees hoping my eggs still hatch but a little worried.

Just candled now they are back up to temp and thank goodness everyone is still moving and grooving. Lock down starts on the 4th and Hatchday should be the 7th or after. Fingers crossed.
