March hatch along

I got to set my eggs yesterday got slowed down a bit with some horse business haha but they r in there and there is 21 of my green eggs 6 spangle 3 rir and 4 from an old hen that is very meaty hoping to get some nhce sized meat birds going and I will also add today's see how many I get hope all ones we'll :D
So glad to finally have you aboard since this is your string after all!!! Good luck!
 
I set 41 Dominique eggs on Tuesday the 25th of Feb. Looking forward to a March 19th-ish hatch. First candling is next Tuesday. Last batch (which were collected the last week of January) I had 88% start, but only 37% hatch. Upping the humidity a bit during lockdown this time.

Hope everyone has a good March hatch!

Everything good in my corner today (day 7).. No new Brahmas developing but the two that I found yesterday have really gone to town growing. I think those will end up being my only two but I don't want to toss any until maybe Tuesday.

Temp was so great this AM that I skipped turning; i hate to leave the house so soon after messing the temp up so I just waited til I got home.

I know this is a terrible pic, but I've found a way to cheat on my dark Marans eggs. I take a pic and then change the finish, lol. Here's a peek inside the lightest one. On the darkest one even this doesn't work.

Anyway. WHat is everyone's expected (approximate lol) hatch date? Mine is March 14.

I have 19 maran eggs and they are all too dark to look in so I'm just leaving them all in for now. I have four Ameraucana eggs in there as well and only one is light enough to look in and I did see a nice little chick developing. They are due to hatch on the eighth so just one more week. I'll be happy if just a couple chicks hatch since this is my first time.
