~May 4th Hatch~ Whose With Me~~!PICS!~

[elcunni75]

Mine are due May 5th... I have 12 Jersey Giants & 12 Buff Orpingtons!

Not a peep, not a movement... I keeping pacing and pausing.. looking and listening.. ~sigh~

It is my first hatch and I've had a few issues along the way, however, no bad smells, weeping or exploding eggs - Fingers crossed it continues!
I tried to candle at day 7, but my light wasn't bright enough to see into any of the darker, thicker shells... I was able to see into 3 lighter ones with success - Veins! Nothing after that...

Planning on building a proper candler in a wooden box.. have my plans and shopping list! So, I will try again with a different breed - Red laced Blue Wyandottes and possibly French Copper Marans!

Oh yeah... my hatch is due at the same time!! They are just barely in lockdown.. here is a pic of the eggs before I put them in

I'm hopefully hatching wheaten marans, light sussex, Olive Eggers and F2 Olive eggers.... fingers crossed big time!

Those eggs are gorgeous!! Wish I had some of those beautiful eggs!
My eggs are due on the 4th as well....first hatch ever for me. Just waiting patiently for them to pip. It is very exciting! Good luch to all of you!

I also have a batch that is due to hatch on May 5th: 14 giant Blue Cochin eggs made it to lockdown. It'll be a race to the finish... it's on, Peeps!

I was so paranoid about this hatch that I swapped out eggs from my genisis hovabator and Im using it as the hatcher since it's the most reliable one I have!

I have the F2 Olive Eggs in the center in the bottom of a strawberry container to keep them separate! I assume that when they hatch they'll look alot like the 1st gen Olive Eggers so I was worried!!!

Today is day 18 for me so hopefully we start seeing pips by Wednesday!!

I have eggs due to hatch Wed, the 5th. Does it ever take longer? Has anyone ever opened one after it's "due date"?
