Friday is hatch day!! I'm really excited to see if all 32 eggs hatch.
I've only been able to candle the duck eggs and some of the EE eggs since the others have been too dark to candle but so far I haven't seen any issues
Yay! Hope it goes well! I too have eggs due next week, but with how the incubator has been acting I'm not keeping my fingers crossed. I'll put my trust in the broodies.
 
The incubator is now in lockdown! I think I also felt one of the ducklings either poking the shell or moving because I got worried that I accidentally shook the egg when I was placing it back inside after removing the turner
They are quite resilient little critters, especially in the later stages. The amount of knocking around those eggs get when their siblings are hatching and thrashing about!
 
The young opossum that I spotted recently discovered the spot in the fence I've been working on and snuck in last night. It got 2 of my baby chicks. I feel like I failed them for not working faster to get it done :hit
The only reason I know it was the opossum, is the coop cam got it
Awww, so sorry to hear this! It was bad luck, plain and simple. :hugs
