The next batch-to-be. Will put in the incubator tomorrow. Oliver eggs that I think are from my white EE (she stopped molting and these appeared) and Wheaten Maran eggs from Ladyrsanti . I am so excited! Going to try the turning the entire incubator and only open it on day 10 to candle the eggs and day 18 to put in lockdown.

toss the two eggs, their no good. actually i microwaved mine because those are infurtile and feed back to chickens.. there is no development..

we have 2 pips..

i had a guy give me 3 toulouse goose eggs, 6 green chicken eggs, 1 silky egg, 1 turkey egg.. my dd wants to do a hatch all on her own with all those eggs. she will take responsibility for all of them.. i told her she can.. so will see.. will set them when this hatch is over..
no autamatic turner, she will have to turn them everyday.. I know she can do it.. weve been doing this together since we started, and she knows the system.. so i think she will do fine.


sweet chicks

Naglady, How old is she? You are giving her a wonderful opportunity, and she will cherish it for the rest of her life.

lazy - emily is 12, she has done this 7 times, and i really dont have to check on eggs everyday because i know she watches them also.. she knows what to do in every situation.. we have been hatching partners and always worked as a team.




I had a wierd situation in the incubator.. i checked on the eggs, and i had a chick zip way at the bottom of the egg, and the egg was opened a little bit, i saw the back of his legs.. was not what i was used to seeing.. took me a minute to figure it out.. so i reached in incubator as fast as i could and lift top of egg off, and the baby chick zipped the shell and lifted it upside
down.. so i turned it right side up.. what a strong buggar.. he is doing good.. havent seen him walk but will see how it does.. you never know whats going to happen from egg to egg.. wonder if because i did a all dry hatch that that made him have more room to work his magic..

I have veining in my d'unclle eggs. Yippy! First time hatching ever. I hope it works out good. I have read every thread I swear on incubator hatching. My girls are in 4h and hope to take our own feathered friends this year.
