I put my 25 eggs into lockdown this morning i candled them last night and found 1 dud and 3 maybe duds but i put them in the incubator with a penciled X on it if they are i still have 22 good eggs i mean they look fully developed the whole egg is dark and i could barely see the air sac they are due to hatch June 14th this coming Tuesday! God i hope i get more than 5 to hatch my mom would like me to hatch out 100 for her

I have 18 silkie eggs in lockdown they are due to hatch wednesday the 15. This will be my 2nd attempt the first batch didn't turn out good. I'm really hoping to get some silkies outta here. My temp was 100.9 the humidity was 74%. I'm taking suggestions if anyone has advice!!!

thats about what mine is when im hatching them out and yeah my first time hatching i only had 4 hatch out and live and 2,3 and 4 times nothing but i didnt know what the humidity was either then when i finally bought a hydrometer the humidity was at 30 to 40% and thats why i had low hatch rates but with my last 2 here i have had 5 hatch out both times and now it looks like i might have 8 this time so it takes a while

WOOHOO!!! 3 more just hatched 2 BR and 1 RIR i have never had that many hatch a day before though im glad i have finally fixed my hatching technique i think i might just have a total of 10 hatch out im still watching all 22 eggs though i will be soooo happy if all of them hatch!! that will bump up our chicks to 32 then i will only have to hatch out 68 more

Good luck on your hatch! I have 16 eggs that went into lockdown yesterday. I can't keep myself away from the bator.
