My Hatching Journey: the Adventures of a Complete Newbie

[BantyChooks]

Looks about like my Serama eggs... (the ones in the second row are bantam cochin eggs, on day 14!... ooooh, candle tonite!)

Nice!! Hope you get a good hatch.

You too!

You'll just be a few days behind me. I started the Seramas on Saturday evening. When are you turning your new batch on?

The 12th, maybe?
Still gotta read more, lol. Do you still turn them after day 2 even if AC are not attached or do you keep them upright? Am I gonna have to use an egg carton and turn by hand if some are attached and some aren't?

I am quite glad I did not start with shipped eggs.

This is my first shipped set, so I'm winging it. Don't ask me..

But here's what I did... I left mine for 24 hours to rest, upright in cartons, in a cool room. Then put them in with the others that were already in the Brinsea. So they are turning, and upright, and all, 24 hours after receiving. If I have a bad hatch, I'll learn from my mistakes and try again. Try not to fret too much over it.

I am happier and happier that I didn't start with shipped eggs!

Absolutely!

And let me know what candle results are.

Just did it. Cochins look great for day 14!! The Seramas are only day 3, but I shined on a couple (ok, several) without picking them up, and I can see red in a few already! e

I did pick up 2 with a couple badly saddled air cells. One was much more stable, barely floated side to side. The second moved more, but not as much as I had originally drawn. So this early on, I'm hopeful!

Good news!
