Switching the 4 eggs to "old reliable".

Haha!

This incubator was right in front of a shower hubby uses every day, he practically had to step over it to get to the shower, I have not switched my eggs to a diff incubator but 9 days into incubating this batch of eggs he said "Are you hatching more eggs?"

A friend ordered chickens and they gave her about 15 more than she needs, She says I can have some, maybe i should get all her extras... I do have some friends who want chickens later. At $1. ea. such a deal!

Four bantams hatching under my Cochin today, set on 2/13. They are pipping and zipping super fast! Checked at 10am with no external pips, came back at 1:30 to two dry chicks, hour and a half later the other two have externally pipped and are starting to rotate.

11 eggs at the start of day 14.

First time incubating so I'm going to wing it on the descriptions. Input from those wiser and more experienced would be appreciated.
2,3,4,7 & 8 had visible movement. 8 looks like it wasn't fertile. 10 & 11 look like they started and quit. 1,5 & 6 Something going on but I have no clue what.

Hello!
I’m sitting @ day 16 with my first eggs from my own birds! (I hatched shipped eggs last year.) I set 29 eggs. Day 10 candling left me with one early quitter and two clears, so I’m down to 26. They look great so far and I can’t wait for hatch day! Should be due March 10. I’m hatching Black Copper Marans, Olive Eggers (either Ameraucana or Easter Egger hens with BCM rooster) and two Orpington/Marans crosses.
Hoping for a good hatch! Humidity is sitting @ 41%.

I hatched 6 barnyard mix eggs a few days ago. I'm planning to set more eggs on March 7th.
