May Online Hatching Egg Swap-Eggs should be sent

[luvmyEs]

Candled my eggs after one week in the incubator! Only 1 had a red ring and displaced air sac! Out of the other 7, 6 are definately developing and the seventh is hard to see through the dark shell, but I think I might have seen development.

Has anyone candled the eggs I shipped?

ok playing catch-up for the swap, since one person couldn't get their eggs out.
wolftracks, your tracking # is 0312 0900 0000 6875 3486
they were shipped yesterday, so you should get them monday or tuesday i'm guessing.

i meant to mark them what was what, but... well... k.i.forgot got in the way. LOL

Doing the happy dance

. Today is day 17 for the 4 quail eggs I got from MaryRuth. It was hard to tell if they were doing anything in them when candling since they are so tiny. Well, today I saw one of the eggs actually moving. Hoping there are at least 2 that hatch out of the 4 as would hate to see one all by itself. All my chicken eggs from the swap go into lockdown tomorrow afternoon.

oh this looks fun! I am so glad I will (should) have a working incubator for the next swap. Good luck everyone! Can't wait to see some pictures

I have one silkie, one EE/silkie, and 3 serama's ready for lock down. Today is day 17 and I keep reading that serama's hatch early so I am going into lock down a day early

last months' swap hatches weren't great. figured out even tho i'm dry incubating the humidity must have been too high, as the ones that did hatch were wet and goopy, the rest were fully formed but failed to hatch.

except my black copper marans eggs (from another swap, not this one). 1 hatched, i opened the next after chance of hatch was gone, it exploded in my face.

3 exploded/leaked in the incubator, thought the rest were fine. nope. used a ziplock on the rest (after a shower) and they all popped. so 11 rotten 1 good. what causes that kind of thing in a batch of fresh eggs?

Maybe some bactiria managed to get in your incubator. I dont know.
