I am going to have to lock up my broody. That silly hen has somehow managed to acquire 9 more eggs! I took them from her last night. It was way more eggs than she could possibly sit on. Now, I am concerned that the developing eggs may have gotten cold in her attempts to hatch every egg she could get her feathers on.


On a bright note. All the duck eggs have finished hatching. And there are three new ducklings!! Yeah!! 2 girls and 1 boy!!
The Girls!!

The boy!!

DAWWWWWWWW how cute!!!

What your going to donated a bator??? LOL We can accept used good shape bators for donations too!

6 Barnevelder eggs in the incubator last nightt

WELCOME!!

Hello!

Hoping to have some chicks in the next couple of days. A dozen FCBM's, and the other dozen eggs are mixed between Ameraucana's, FCBM's, and FCBM-Ameraucana crosses.

This is only our second attempt to hatch eggs. A couple of months ago, we hatched 8/12 (7 lived) Buff Orp's, and 11/12 (10 lived) barnyard mixed eggs.

Just put the incubator on lockdown yesterday evening.

Here's hoping!

WELCOME!!!

Okay, Sally, here's the news you never thought you'd see.
I just set a dozen RSL eggs, all from my girls.
Is 21 days up yet?

WHITES!!!!!! is in the HAL!!!!! sweetness!!! GOOD LUCK!!

@mlm Mike and @Sally Sunshine Update on my eggs for the May hatch-a-long - Things changed early for me because both of my eggs orders shipped within a week of each other. I set one of my orders and @Saris set the others for me. The eggs I set came from Papas Poultry. I ordered 10 eggs, he sent me 17 and on day 7 I only had 9 showing life. I left most of the others in and I will candle again tomorrow (day 10) before I pull any more out. The ones I am incubating are silver laced orpingtons, lavender cuckoo orpingtons and chocolate orpingtons. @Saris is incubating Barnevelders and Jubilee orpingtons for me from Northwoods Poultry. Have a great day

He sent 17!!! wow!!! sounds like me lol!!! he is awesome!

sorry only nine alive, did you check fertility in the empty?

Hello All! I have 36 eggs in the Bator right now. 6 Rouen duck eggs, 18 OE's, and 12 barnyard mix. My duck eggs are on day 6 and I just set my chicken eggs today. I've been running my humidity for the duck eggs at 75%+ but know from experience, my chicken eggs don't seem to hatch out as well with that high of humidity.
My last chicken hatch I stayed pretty consistent at 40% humidity until lockdown and had an 85% hatch rate.

What are your suggestions for humidity?

AMBE!!! welcome!!

Set eggs (first time ever!) this past Tuesday, a bit after midday. So do I candle for Day 7 tomorrow/Monday (counting Tuesday as Day 1) or on Tuesday? Or maybe it doesn't make such a difference?

WELCOME !!!! good luck nope!!

Hey, guys! I haven't hatched at all this year yet... And I usually have already by this time.

PEEP IS IN THE HAL TOO!!! Welcome over PEEP!!!

Peep & Chaos didn't want you to know that peep hasn't hatched in a long time! So I tagged you, knowing you would soon rectify that situation.
