They better sell because I already have 30 chicks that are almost 3 weeks old. Forget it your not suppose to count your chicks before they hatch.

I set eggs Sunday night, 2/27. There are 16 Silkie Showgirl eggs and 13 mixed eggs, some Cochins, some Seramas, some other mixed breeds stuff.

I cannot wait! My first hatch for 2001.

I'm at 99.7 with the incubator, but I cannot get the humidity above 46%.

I set 38 eggs on 2/26,...mostly mixed bantams and 9 sultan eggs,..a kind of a test hatch for a friend.

Temps are holding good,...

it is to early! what color are your eggs? some colors are more difficult to see.

EE - lt blue, olive-brown, pale bluegreen, half are quite porus. I can see most of the air sacs, and the yolk but nothing like viens. I also think the incubator may have been too low for the first, like 3 days (I'd love to hear feedback on how serious this is- temp around 97 prob).....I'll wait it out. Thanks for the encouragement tho!

!!! I threw out an egg that had an air sac floating everywhere (shipped egg, sat 20 hrs before putting in incubator, candled 56hrs later)!!! It was quite oblong too but..... So it doesn't matter if the air sac isn't attached????
