Just stopping by to say hi.

I have 9 eggs in the incubator on day 9. One looked clear on Friday, so I'll pull it in a few days if no change.

Happy hatching everyone!

Hey Friday!

Good luck on your hatch!

Set 7 black copper and splash Marans eggs in a brinsea mini Thursday that should hatch on thanksgiving also had 8 gold laced Orpington eggs that were set in a little giant 9300 that had failed to keep a safe temperature the first try. Added water bottles and let runn for a few weeks and was able to maintain a safe temperature and after adding eggs it spiked high and then after adjusting it went low. Probably not going to hatch is there anything that can be done with this junk or should it be returned.

3 new babies this morning

two CCL boys (which I was aiming for) and a yellow chick that hatch from a Marans egg so it's either a wheaten or a cross from my wheaten hen. Pictures later.

Aww, congratulations!!

Photos....

Today's lockdown so I candled. Another one quit on me, looks like a week ago. I could see it's eye and beak through the shell, but there were no veins and no movement. So I have 12 in lockdown. All 12 are active and look good. I upped the humidity and hopefully I'll have healthy chicks by Thursday.

Lock down, good luck. I have a way to go. Won't be long, we will be seeing photos of some new babies on here.

We just loaded our first incubator on the 3rd. It is a lot of fun. I found eggs on eBay and sometimes they have them on Craigslist.

Good luck!

I'm hand turning/ elevating alternate sides I planned for around 20 ended up receiving 27.... The dark Marans eggs will be moved out as soon as this week hatch is done. They r like kids u can't just toss the extras lol....I was able to fit 25 plus the 8 already in there it holds the heat better w/ more in there lol one had cracks when I candled so that one didn't go in and I received extras of the Reds so I kept 1 out... Ugh
Red, Chocolate, Harlequin, Red cuckoo and lav orps 8 BCM and 5 lav AM's... Most of the orps are replacements from an EXTREMELY PO scrambled batch. (They don't even count lol) the others were orders of 6 + this time that ended up being 14 eggs not complaining just improvising until my other bator is free...

Those are beautiful eggs!! I am just getting started, but I think I am already addicted!

Hey Friday!     Good luck on your hatch! 

Thanks! 5 are shipped Ayam Cemani eggs so I'm really hoping a few hatch. Eggs coming up in altitude often have a lower hatch rate, but I'll do my best!
