June Hatch-A-Long

[Willow2253]

Thanks, I’ll keep and eye (or nose) out for smelly eggs, and give them a couple more days. I don’t have high confidence in them from what I saw candling, but I agree that they deserve a chance.

OMG!!!!!!! They’re getting darker!!!!!!

Arm hair makes your arm look darker..oh, the eggs.

I have a broody hen... and eggs in an incubator... (6) The 2 shall meet. Happiness all around. It will give her something else to do besides mating with other hens and crowing.

Well, I need to decide what to do with the remaining two eggs. I candled all 3 that were left, one had internally pipped and drowned, so I opened it up. It was half ayam cemani, and the only one in my batch of that mix, so pretty sad about that one. That leaves me with two eggs. Neither have internally pipped, but I don’t see movement in either. How long should I give them? Hatch day was yesterday.

I usually give them 2 extra days (till day 23).

OK just for the cuteness, my two remaining chicks posing for their 3 day photos! Keeping both of them until we find out if we have a rooster. Little Frankie (hatched from the store egg) already has the roo attitude! The little silver laced Orpington, so far unnamed, is very sweet and puts up with Frankie‘s rudeness!

Thanks for bearing with me- I just checked the tracking this 3AM and it says the chicks were in Spokane (my state anyway) last night at 8pm, so hopefully I can roll to town 8am and get chicks before postal is open. Or at least call. I liked it when tracking used to show more detail along the way... used to be USPS has it in Polk OH, then package has just left Cleveland, then Spokane, then Wenatchee, then My mailbox in my town, ...lately tracking will just say Polk...then big silence, then Spokane....silence them my mailbox. not as much fun.

Just a second ago tracking said 3:12am my chicks arrived in Wenatchee! so there is hope
