My first Hatch. Itzy and Ditzy's BBS Cochin eggs

[Ilovemychicks08]

Hard to believe I started this whole process a bit over 6 weeks ago!!!!!

I checked the incubator egg today and it still seems to be doing well. saw some veins and I think some shadows moving. I checked the ones under Ditzy yesterday morning and they looked pretty well filled in as well but it was a bit lighter so couldn't make out veins or movements but fingers crossed they are still growing and doing well!

They are now on day 16!!!!!!! a bit under 5 days left hopefully (since I set them around 3pm and right now it is 10:30pm here! LOL) I will get the incubator egg set for lockdown tomorrow night since i will be in and out on Sat but I won't bump up the humidity until Sat afternoon.

Fingers crossed that Tue we have a chick in the incubator and a couple under Ditzy!!!!!!! Thankfully I am super busy tomorrow helping my daughter get ready for prom, then going out to dinner and have some running around Sat to do, then I work Sun, Mon and Tue so hoping that helps the days go a bit faster instead of dragging like I think they are going to.

Cant wait for some to hatch.

Here are a few pics of the incubator egg. Not that you can see much....

Oh and to give people some hope. I am almost positive, I am new to this so can't say for sure, this egg had a fully detached air cell so I figured it wasn't going to do anything. Not only is it still going strong it is the only one from the incubator that is still alive. The air cell is saddled but chick seems to be ok. Now fingers crossed it stays that way.

I set 3 of hers this time since she went broody so that was all she laid. 2 were not fertilized so did nothing. then the 1 that was left quit around day 9. So I only have 3 shipped eggs still going..... well as far as I can tell they are still going. 2 are under Ditzy and 1 in the incubator but once that one hatches I will sneak it under Ditzy. Just hoping to see one hatch. So should change the name of the thread since technically it isn't an Itzy and Ditzy hatch anymore. Depending on what colors/sexes I get this time I may try again once Ditzy starts laying again.
