Good Morning everyone....................

Well, I candled last night, out of boredom .
Sooo. Riddle me this Bat man..
Most of my eggs were shipped from Mass.
.I am in Oregon.............no detatched air cells...........
31 were shipped and I started with 50 some. Never really finished counting but added some of my own double decking a bunch.
Finished with 44 last night...2 iffy's. They looked good even with my temp spike.
Really curious how these will finish out....Now have to figure out how on earth I am going to set the eggs for lockdown....
I always hatch in cartons but may have to lay them flat this time........

Lockdown tomorrow..........................

Morning Mel how are your chicks coming along ? Seen the post in the broody thread of lil Silkie mom takin care of business lol bators stable and all well I hope on that side

Good evening from Norway! I lost one more chick today, at 7 days old. I have no idea what happened, he just laid dead in the brooder all of the sudden. Oh well, **** happens - all the other little peeps are still doing good! Silkie hen is a lovely mom, but she refuses to take in new chicks. She beats them up if she gets the chance! Still a sweetheart towards her own peepers so I have no worries. They're starting to pick up some interesting patterns as their feathers starts to come along. I kinda find the mix accident chicks more exciting than the buffs, go figure

How is everything on your end?

Don't freak yet.....It's early..................

Do you know your temps and humidity?
Also................they do not always hatch on schedual..
If we knew a little more about whats going on, we might be able to help...............
Or they might just be a little late..........
My last hatch was due on a Friday and popped out Sunday morning.

good luck

My mom said that the eggs' temperature didn't feel too hot, but I thought they were kinda warm. My hen won't let us anywhere near her eggs so we don't try and check all the rest.

We tried candling them, but I think the shell is too thick to see anything through. I know these are fertile eggs, though, since she's my rooster's favorite. I'm hoping they might still be able to hatch today.
