March Hatch-A-Long

[plum14]

I heard a peeper! At least one strong peeping and possible a second weaker peeping! They're alive!

I'm rather jealous.... Bedtime here see if the morning brings anything .

First candle report, and it is a doozy!
Six Faverolles eggs from my hen Rene all very obviously wiggling inside.
SS Ethel's egg, wiggling.
Dominique Hobo, wiggling.
Ameracauna Susan, can't tell a darn thing egg is too dark but will try again in a few days.
Delaware Marlene, think hers is a dud no obvious signs of development but it will be retried too.
Soooo eight out of ten are just wiggling their hearts out.

Nice!
Sure hope the wigglers keep going strong for you!

Not hopeful for my dozen eggs. Looks like blood rings all around. I'm not positive, so they go into lokckdown this weekend. Fingers crossed anyway!

Must be a bacterial issue if so. So sorry hon. Hope you get a couple.

The eggs were seriously scrambled when I got them, so odds have always been against me. I did find one that was really stinky (stick your finger in your belly button. Wiggle it in deep. Pull out and sniff. That's the exact smell. I have no idea how I know this.) It Aldo had I think mold on it. Two now have giant blood rings, another two or so I think are breaking down. I've not seen movement in any other eggs, but the wonky air cells make it hard to see. Still hoping though!!

Yeah shipped eggs are always a total crapshoot. I had 27 in another group 0 hatched. Had 23 ( plus one glued cracked one) in this one and 14 made it to lock down. Only one blood ring and 2 or 3 quitters rest were non starters.

Over achiever chick! Pipped last night at 8:30, and hatched at 6:18, 3 minutes after my alarm went off, so I was able to see it! Today is only day 20, and only 2 others are pipping. Must have spent most of its incubator time in a warm pocket it was a perfect hatch, no blood and a very active chick! Bring on the babies!!
