I knew what you meant, lol, and yes i did! did they wiggle around? I had one of my chicken eggs wiggle around on day 22.5, it ended up dis, but when i did the eggtopsy it looked like it was at day 16, really weirdClose......very close.
It's a conversation between A and B so you can C your way out of it.
Did you see the latest duck candles in the incu thread?
Count me in! The husband didn't freak out to bad when he saw the eggs sitting on the counter and not in the fridge!Got to get some stocked up to put in so will be a few days into May. Good thing I moved all 22 babies out in time.

GOOD LUCK!!!Put eggs on lockdown yesterday! I somehow managed to set them so that that would hatch when I am out of town! Luckily someone can take care of them for me! Hopefully it all goes smooth!
Meant to put this in the April hatc a long

NEVER USE VENT holes as a means to Control HUMIDITY especially during HATCH DAYS!
You realize humidity is NOT a set number just a tool to get the correct weight loss in the egg?
You understand the majority of people for standard hatching eggs run the first 7 days 25-30% humidity (possibly 35%for shipped eggs) and adjusted from there for weight loss?
You understand that you can in fact candle every two days after day 7 to just keep a closer eye on weight loss so you dont need to make major changes later on?
Try to add water above in containers and not in the troughs until lockdown?
HUMIDITY Humidity is NOT a set number!

YAY!!!!!5/5 Turkey eggs looking good for May 5th
8/13 runner ducks looking good for May 14th
3/8 Royal Palm Turkey eggs looking good for May 14th.
and more eggs coming so I will be setting some Chickens for May as well.
Saw two wigglers at least. Lockdown was supposed to be tonight but the external pip on the one made me do it last night instead. This happened last time I incubated Ancona as well. Than the first pipper took 60+ hrs to hatch
holy cow 60 hours, sure do take their time,Saw two wigglers at least. Lockdown was supposed to be tonight but the external pip on the one made me do it last night instead. This happened last time I incubated Ancona as well. Than the first pipper took 60+ hrs to hatchBelieve it or not they are the first time I've tried taking pictures of what I was candling and all were taken with my cell phone.
the eggs were no more than 48 hours old at incubation set. They are all from my flock of 18 hens and 3 roosters. The flock is 11-13 months old depending on the hen. Humidity has been steady at 40%, and temp at 101 (both watched by 3 thermometer/hygrometer ) . Its a TSC LG bator with the TSC turner no fan. I did not wash, rinse, spray or in any other way clean the eggs. I simply gathered them in an egg carton and once I had enough (took 2 days) I filled the bator. Eggs were stored air cell up and are incubating the same way.WELCOME!!! Not a clue
