I have a confession...
I had 24 shipped eggs, Cochins. I said they were all clears..... I was WRONG! Seeeeee, that is why I do not like to candle. It was early on, when I checked them. Was it day 5 or something? Can't remember. Anyway, I tossed out a few of them (totally by mistake). 6 went into lockdown ..... 5 have hatched!
I have only 2 eggs left in the bator, unhatched and unpipped. Of all that went into lockdown, I hatched:
11 of 12 Marans .... shipped eggs!
5 of 6 Cochins .... shipped eggs!
2 of 2 Icelandics .... my eggs!
GOOD LUCK and CONGRATULATIONS ! ! !
