Day 8 for my turkey eggs. I'm not used to the speckled shells and I couldn't really tell much when I candled today as far as veining is concerned. I did swear I say darker floaters in there when I would tip a couple of eggs. We'll see just how many I get to hatch out of the 14 in the bator.

So cute!!!
1st four Chocolate Orpingtons in the brooder. 4 more still in the bator. At least one more egg with a pip..
Congrats all to your hatches!
My incubator is a sea of fuzz....Day 22 now. I usually don't open it until Day 23 starts but I think I may pull them around noon if almost all have hatched. When I went to bed last night it looked like about 60% had hatched out. There were about 6 with active pips but every time I shine the light in the incubator the little guys stampede towards the light and they move and shift the eggs around. That's why I prefer to just leave them in the dark to sleep it off. I am hatching mostly shipped eggs and some have traveled over 1,000 miles to get here...It should be interesting as I have not had a hatch this big before and it's staggered. I hatched out at 50% humidity...even with my silkies.
