Holy cow there are SO may people locking down on Tuesday, it's going to be a race to the finish! Hahaha

Well, tomorrow is lockdown for me. My last hatch was a disaster so hoping this one is better. I havent candled again but think I have 10-12 eggs the should/might hatch. Most are white silkies and maybe a couple partridge silkies. I set 22 eggs but some were very old so only 15 started to develop. Had a couple bloodrings and a couple that look like late quiters. I am using a Brinsea Eco 20 for the first time . Keeping my fingers crossed!

GOOD LUCK!

There are LOTS of photos of them on google. http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k70/cbcat/BloodRingandBloodSpot.jpg

They are basically the product of bacterial infection. The vessels break down after the embryo is killed, and the blood settles in the egg. You won't see any veins when you have a blood ring.

Thanks so much for the info. Still very new at this hatching thing, lol.

Hi Ya'll

this is my first time setting eggs. I have small incubator, only holds 7 eggs, so I started this morning. My chickens are a mother daughter project. Figure this is a way for my nearly 12 year old daughter and I to share something without arguing

. We set all types of eggs including Swedish, Silkie (maybe a Showgirl) EE and couple of EE that may be Frizzies. I love them all so I just hope for a good hatch. We will see in 21 days.

PS Sorry to hear about the tooth. Hope you feel better soon.

You guys will have a great time!!
Although the more I am on here I realize there is a hatching bug!!

Look out its contagious ! I have my first set of eggs in now and have 10 days left of which seems like forever and these were the only ones I planned on hatching and after joining here I am feeling like I am catching something!!

Yup!! It's addicting!!

good luck!

Just realised in my previous post I noted the set date as 1st February! Duh! It should read 1st March of course. I really need to get more sleep!!!

By the way, the eggs I've set are a mix of 12 buff Brahma and light Brahma.

I'm having so much trouble with fluctuating temperatures. Does anyone know if periods of 100 F in the first few days of incubating will kill chicks? I'm using a small forced air incubator. Thanks

99-100 is exactly what you want throughout incubation
