May hatch-a-long

[The Farmers' Daughter]

Well...
Pulled the plug on my remaining 3 eggs.
I've got 16 buckeyes and 12 chanteclers going in later today.

We have a broody (turkey) hen and as of today she is on day 21. We have 21 eggs under her and 11 of them are moving. None are cheeping yet hopefully soon though. She is awfully skinny and has accidentally crushed a few. I would be interested in knowing if anyone else is hatching poults.

OK, out of 24 shipped eggs, 14 have just gone into lock down. Fingers .

Nice.
I'm borrowing one this year and it's a pain in the rear, so I'm shopping around. I'm leaning towards making a refrigerbator, but I figure I'll need a backup.

This was consistent, so if you don't need a big incubator it works well. If you don't use the auto turner, it actually holds 24 standard eggs. You just have to hand turn, or as one you tuber did, they just tilted the incubator with a bottle of conditioner . Back and forth 3-5 times a day.

So I have had 2 eggs hatch on day 21 but have nothing from the other 5 in lockdown. This is my first hatch and I am pretty worried about them. I just need to stay calm and wait though right? I candled one and there was some movement but none in the others.
