June Hatch-A-Long

[missnu01]

Yay!!! I candles my second batch of shipped eggs that I didn't think would make it tonight and nothing in a darn one of any consequence except the tiny bantam eggs that looked like they had started incubation before I got them and even they just have a tiny red spot here and there. The air cells are more like carpentry levels..so I got all upset and then realized wait wait wait..I just set these the evening of the 8th... so that was only 2 days ago...lol. going to wait a week and check again. Got a little ahead of myself there...ha

I'm on day 20, so far I've had 3 Sussex and 1 Buff hatch. Have a couple more external pips.

that yay was for you but got lost in my random ramblings. It's a chronic problem I have when talking about poultry or poultry by products. Lol

Congrats to you all who have chick's I went to check on mine again. Nothing that I could see or hear but something alerted my dog to lay by the incubator again.

What day are you on?

 

[missnu01]

Aww, got my first clear egg from my flock. My EE hen gave me an infertile egg in my batch set 6-4... I guess it happens but now I can't brag 100% fertility.

I woke up to a chick! When we went to bed last night 5 had pipped. Besides the one that hatched, none of the pips look any different- is that normal?
Now I have about 7 other pips- hope to actually get to see a hatch today.

The chick is rambling all over the bator and knocking into eggs and moving them around. Is that really okay?

 

[missnu01]

It is better than ok. That check moving all the eggs and peeping and knocking around will urge the others to come on out. And sometimes it can take a long time between pip and hatch. So no worries there either.

I think we're all as anxious as you are right now.

I'm the same way. I think I might have done something wrong.

On my last hatch they had all come out by now. Hope you have better luck. I think I am going to check a few of mine.
