Congrats Jared! That is awesome! I hope the last two hatch for you as well and best wishes for your project.

Hi! That is wonderful to hear! Nothing about incubating / hatching seems to be 'set in stone'.

I agree whole-heartedly with you there. Sometimes you have to just keep tweaking it until you get it right and sometimes you have to back up and punt.

I usually try to hold off candling until day 11 because that's I know for sure that I can see what's growing and what's not at that point. It's cool to watch them "swim" in the egg.

Cool. Thanks for the 411. It still pretty cool to see at any stage. My dad even came to see. It amazes me!!!!

I should clarify that I don't have any more sophisticated means to candle than a mini mag light so although I can see some veins at day 7, it's much more clear at day 11 for me.

I used a flashlight that my Dad got when he bought a drill/saw combo kit....lol It was like the free gift or something

I'm so excited for you!


Next time, if I hatch again I will also up my humidity, last hatch a couple chicks had to be helped, and the membranes were dry.
