Wow that took ages to catch up! Congrats to all the folks with hatching eggs! I wanna see pics of all the chicks and lttle quail chicks too!

Watching those Emu hatch is soooo exciting!!! Thank you for the pics Kathy!

got some button eggs today! I'm not going to wait to set them for the hatch because they only take 16 days. Itty bitty little pretty eggs!

I've been going non-stop since I got up, with a few breaks for BYC updates.

Trying to finish up a few more chores before I pass out.

And hoping for an emu update.

I have hatched call ducks in my MiniAdvance EX. I have also hatched Jersery Giant chicken eggs, really large ones, in it. Duck eggs will fit. I highly recommend the MiniAdvance EX models for small quantities of eggs.

The eggs are on their sides and the turning plate under the eggs rolls them. You set the controls to turn them, and with the AdvanceEX model, reset the control at lockdown to stop turning. You can set turning "angle" and interval (how often).

Thank you so much

I clicked on the thumbs up and gave you one positive.

Are the rest of us on this thread remembering to do this?

SG Dorking eggs are hatching! 4 are out 1 is zipping and all 11 that developed and made it to lockdown are pipped!

Here is Duva with her three chicks.....the Blue Isbar and two of the Icelandic eggs did not hatch. Eggtopsy showed the Isbar had developed to a recognizable chick but quit soon after. One Icelandic was very near full term but never pipped internally and the other Icelandic egg had a VERY hard shell, I had a hard time cracking it to look in it, and it had a large full term chick that had absorbed the yolk. I think it was too large and didn't have room to get enough power to crack that rock-hard shell.

I am very happy with the three beautiful chicks I got and that Duva, at only 8 months old, seems to be a doting momma.
