November/December "Hatch-a-Long"

[Farmer Viola]

Sorry to hear about the delay. It's what I was afraid of. Mine left Oklahoma Monday and were here today Priority Mail. If yours were sent Priority they should have tracking info. I emailed and asked my seller for that, although eBay sent it also. Of course we all want to set them ASAP for viability, but better to wait instead of a staggered hatch. That's just too close together. Breathe.

I candled some of mine but I don't know what I'm looking for. There are not clearly defined air cells like they are super fresh. I'm just going to leave them alone and set them without turning for a couple days just to make sure. One of my Rhodebar eggs was cracked open, but they sent 2 extras. I got 4 extra Isbar eggs.

Hau'oli Lā Ho'omaika'i iā 'oukou a pau! Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!
I'll be setting eggs tomorrow, these plus 15-20 Marans and Marans crosses.

Wow! How many is that total? Pretty eggs. I emailed the seller asking for the tracking#, but haven't heard back yet. Nothing I can do now but wait!

Day 20.5. I got 18 silkies in lockdown and two have pipped! So much fun. I got these from Catdance. So far a blue splash and a porcelain have pipped. Come on little babies!!

Oh, ......Congratualtions.................................

And WELCOME.
I would love to have Catdance but not in the egg budget right now..........
She lives really close to me and I think about how much fun it would be to visit and see her lovely stock in person.

A blue splash hatched! So small and cute!! Catdance silkies is a few hours from me. My last batch (20 eggs)I had shipped from further away was a bust except for one. I thought maybe getting them from a seller who was closer was a better idea. So far one baby and two pips. Happy thanksgiving everyone!

what, I have to count?? LOL 35-41 wow that's going to be a full house! I'm hoping that my next egg shipment arrives on Friday morning, I'm going to let them rest and acclimate for 6-8hours only, and set Friday night. So maybe just 1 day off from you!

He was all confused at first, he didn't know what to make of them. He's in a hyper stage right now, too, so he tends to run/jump over them a lot without thinking about it. But I'm sure he's happy to have some friends, even though his brooder was invaded by so many at once after having it all to himself for two weeks...

WELP.. I have myself pretty much convinced that I should buy another incubator and set these eggs today. anyone want to tell me different???
