May hatch-a-long

[Mraya]

I had chocolate turkey eggs in my incubator that had about a week left. We had a power outage and I had to move them to a different area so I could plug them into our generator. My hisband had a mishap with all the cords and the whole incubator fell off the cabinet and on top of the eggs. None of them made it and I was heartbroken. I looked at them and all were fully developed but needed to grow a bit more. Now I have silkie eggs in it and am hoping I don’t have any mishaps with them, but I learned my lesson from the first.

I think everyone goes thru something like this or close to it I once "helped" a chick hatch that didn't need my help. It did not end well.

Hi everyone! Just signing onto this thread. Thank you thewolf1039!
I'm looking forward to later this week when I have bantam Cochins and Call ducks due to hatch. Hope to share good news with everyone here. And lots of pics!

my hatch day is the first what day is yours

?????????????????????

The eggs I was going to incubate were off eBay - first the seller over-sold their hens production, so shipping got delayed while they laid more eggs (No problem with that - can't make a hen lay!), but then this morning I get an email asking if I've gotten my eggs already... but they weren't supposed to ship until today, and the tracking number shows that they still haven't been mailed at all.

OK, How do you name your chicks. I have chickens a year old and I still haven't named them?

So.......I don't quite know what to say about that. Ah... the seller said they sent them the tracking number shows that they still haven't been Mailed

Exactly. And they weren't even supposed to be shipped until today - so there's no way I could I have gotten them already!

If I can ask where are they shipping from?

EDIT to ADD: I only ask because could it be weather delay?
