My First Hatch-Along (Character Themed)

[newchickychick]

Did a super quick candling when putting them into the turners! One showed very obvious spider veins up near the top/air cell, and another egg had… one single little vein in a short thick line. But since it’s only day 3, I’m going to (try to) be patient until Monday when I move them all into one incubator. I will see if dry or wet is doing best and go from there! I’m nervous since one is REALLY showing signs but none others really are. But I think I saw some dark spots forming? I’m so new to it so it could be anything. Overthinking here again! But honestly seeing one developing at all this early was amazing! And worst comes to worst, we will try again if nothing comes of these 21.

Monday’s candle will be day 7 and I’ll candle once more on day 10 to pull out any obvious quitters, then one final time when I get anything still viable laid out for lockdown.

5 more days until the next candling and I toss out quitters. Really, really hoping we have at least one Polish and one from the other set hatch! Time will tell. Cackle’s eggs should ship out Monday. Fingers crossed! I’ll be putting them all into the same incubator on that day. So nervous, so excited! Eggcited.

Hello everyone! I was originally going to wait until Day 5 in case absolutely none of these end up viable, but I'm hoping by committing now means there will hopefully be lots of life waiting in these sweet eggs. This is my first ever Hatch-Along. I was wanting to plan, and prep, and wait for a few months, but hubby and some kind users here have given me encouragement. So here we go!

Egg 1 (Candy Corn Polish): Ha-ri
Egg 2 (CC Polish): Chihiro
Egg 3 (Buff Laced Polish): Bean
Egg 4 (Buff): Luffy
Egg 5 (Gold Laced): Zøg
Egg 6 (Buff): Kuina
Egg 7 (Silver Laced): Mononoke
Egg 8 (Buff): Katara
Egg 9 (Silver Laced): Carol
Egg 10 (Gold Laced): Chicken Joe **{Claimed by @Chickenpoonumber2**
Egg 11 (Buff): El (Eleven)
Egg 12 (CC): Elrond

Egg 14 (Pavlovskaya): Kipo
Egg 15 (Pavlovskaya): Loki
Egg 16 (Swedish Flower Hen): Wednesday
Egg 17 (SFH): Usagi

Egg 21 (Isbar): Castiel

If you'd like, call dibs on an egg to cheer on as they hopefully grow and hopefully hatch! I’ll put your username by the codenames I’ve put in for fun. They’re characters from a couple of my family and I’s favorite books/movies/shows!

The writing in pencil was for the numbers and weights so I could keep track, but numbers were hard to see so I added them in on photoshop for ease.

They’ll be in the cartons in the incubator for a few days so they won’t turn just yet in case shipping was hard on them! Then I'll be placing them in the auto-turner with my first ever candling. I'm really nervous but excited. I do understand absolutely none of these may hatch or even end up viable, but I'd like to share my first journey with trying to hatch! They're separated for the first 7 days to see whether dry vs wet ends up looking most on track progress-wise, then I'll combine into the one where they're seeming to do the best!

Hope I did this right!

May I have #16 Wednesday?

Can't wait to see all the little chicks!!

Me either! Really hoping we get at least one but would be so excited if we get more than one. Selfishly hoping a Candy Corn or SL Polish hatch. We don’t have those colors yet and they’re so lovely!
