Sorry, crs set in with spring fever I guess. I candled a few last night and they all seem to be fine. It only got down to 90 for a very short time until Mike hooked up the generator and the temp came right back up so I don't think they cooled off too much.

We lost power today also. The bators got down to 90. I covered them to keep them as warm as I could until the generator came on. Good thing for the generator, they went out at 1:00 and didn't come back on until almost 8:00 pm. I checked a few and they seemed fine.

hey, you forgot to tell me about that. are our babies ok?

LOCK DOWN!!! Finally, I started 3 days behind the rest of you guys so today is day 18 and I just put them in lock-down.

I cut rings out of toilet paper tubes to put the eggs on so the won't get kicked around. Hope it works. But I wanted to angle the air pocket a little bit up, so I candled all the eggs for the first time. I had a heating pad plugged in and put the eggs on it with a towel over them. Then I added rags to the channels in my borrowed LG still air and poured warm water on the rags. I added a couple extra rags to the sides with warm water on those too. Put the wire mesh back on and turned off the lights. My husband placed the rings and eggs as I candled and handed them to him. Two definite duds and two probable duds, the rest all looked pretty much the same. I left the probable duds in just in case. The dark area inside didn't quite fill the egg like most of my eggs. I didn't see movement in any, but my light's not that strong and I was trying to move quickly. So, 34 went in, 32 into lock-down, 30 all look to be at the same stage.... will any hatch?

Please please please please please please hatch!!!!!!!!!!!

So far out of 23 eggs in lockdown I have 3 Dorkings, 2 Ameraucanas & 1 Silkie.

One of the Dorkings & both Ameraucanas have jumped over the back of the hatching tray & are trying to figure out how to get back in! Goofball chickies! I'm going to have to make the tray's walls higher next hatch.

I don't see any lavs... are the really light ones white? I sometimes have lavs hatch that are mostly yellow with just a touch of lavender. Are you asking about the striped ones? I don't know what they are.
