Dear naglady,

You might already know that...........

Haven't been on in a wk, 390 unread posts! I'll never catch up LOL
Last week I had 1 sultan & 1 polish chick hatch on on day 22. Only 1 more pipped but never made it past that. The others all died in shell, fully formed.
Today is lock down for my SLW & my Col Wyandotte as well. Tomorrow is lockdown for the lemon cuckoo orps.

I just set 27 eggs in my incubator, first time hatch ever! My daughter and I are doing it together and are so excited. We set mostly Polish and some lavender Americaunas. I have Tolbunts in there, so fingers crossed everything goes smoothly, we've wanted Tolbunts for some time. Also have silver laced and gold laced Polish. I've read a lot of these forums before beginning, but any helpful hints are welcome! Just got a Little giant still air. We have several hens that go broody and were hoping to let them on them, but they were uncooperative and for the first time decided NOT to go broody.

Oh well, here's hoping.

We checked on our eggs tonight and one was weepy, so we took it out. I don't think we're going to have any from this batch hatch out. Storms knocked power out twice, and there weren't many fertilized in this batch anyways. There are 3 left in the incubator, we'll see.

Put my first batch of eggs in lockdown last night. 12 out of 20 made it. I candled them first i could just barely see them moving so my fingers are crossed that they will hatch good for me.

24 eggs, 14 made it to lockdown and 10 hatched successfully. 5 ameraucana, 1 orpington, and 4 fertile eggs from the grocery store! I'll post a video of the fluffy butts later.
