Sending some awesome hatching vibes your way! I hope we all have some great hatches! Last week, out of 15 eggs set into the hatcher, 10 made it. 3 were quitters that I missed because I didn't candle them all when setting them into the hatcher. One pipped upside down and didn't make it. The last one, I probably could have saved but I was afraid to intervene too much.

I have 3 dozen turken/rhode island mixed eggs and also some Delaware eggs in my incubator due to hatch on or about June 12th.

I candled all 46 eggs on Tues. and only took 2 out. I'll probably candle again tonight and then not candle till lockdown. I'm hoping I don't have to take a lot more out!

My eggs go into lockdown on sunday!!!

I only have 1 problem. This is my first hatch so I dont know what to do for lock down. What am I suppose to do?

Candle before lockdown, take out bad eggs. Up your humidity if that means putting wet sponges in after filling bottom chanels with water. Or make it so you can put water in later if that means with a syringe or a tube through the vent hole. Then close it up and leave it till hatching!! Good luck!

Just candled (or tried to, anyway) my eggs and took out the three banty eggs, they were not fertile, as I suspected. The big boys stick to women their own size.
Other than that, most of them seem to be going along, I suspect three are infertile, but I'll keep them in there anyway until I can get a better look.

My candler bulb went out AGAIN, think I'm gonna complain about it, as this is the third set of eggs it has been used for and the second bulb to go out.

The bulbs came with the candler, so they can't claim I used the wrong bulbs either..
