June to July hatch-a-long!!!

[BreanneRN]

Not long now... The eggs should start hatching by the middle of next week or so, but I'm starting to watch now.
Any guesses as to how many might hatch? I'm going with 6, myself... But pick any number between none and 26... Haven't been candled, so it is anyone's guess!

My week old chicks have been off supplemental heat since they were 3 days old. It's so hot here, they don't need it.

Sounds like those eggs might have been able to hatch themselves...

What eggs?

I'm in! I set 7 white duck eggs on the 21st and they'll be hatching around the 20th. Lost 2 during candling, so I'm down to 5.
Set 42 mixed chicken eggs the same day. Lost 15 at candling(infertile) and that hatch is due around the 12th. Currently at 27 eggs.
Plus a random 10 guinea eggs. lost 5, so 5 left. Hatch due on the 17th.
I'm using a Dickey's cabinet incubator I've had for about 15 years. Just got it back from a friend who was watching it for 10ish years. Working on righting humidity issues, but they've basically only affected chicken egg hatches in the 2 months I've had it back, or maybe I was just cursed with infertile eggs for a while, idk. Had 2 stellar Coutornix quail hatches and a beautiful little white guinea baby, but only one chicken chick has hatched out of almost 6 dozen eggs. So wish me luck.

Sorry, I thought your week old hatchlings that don't need a heat source might have been in an incubator a week ago... So, those eggs... Didn't know it got so hot in Wisconsin... Know it does in Illinois.

Staggered hatch, the chicks are give or take a week. I think they hatched the 26th

I have four eggs right know and I am waiting for one more, I am planning on putting the eggs under the hens today!!! I'm super excited. But I have then in an egg carton in my dining room right know a d it is 79 to 75 degrees in there a d I think the humidity is around 50%. I put I thermometer right by the eggs lol. But I was wondering if this is ok for them. They are a little cold to the touch. Can I still use them?

They should be fine, are you only wanting 5 chicks? Might be good to have a few more eggs in case some don't develop. And remember, some will be roosters...
