November Hatch-a-long...

[BirdsBeesTrees]

Ayam Cemani eggs are looking good just a few days in! I just snuck a peak not an official candling to throw any out yet. So far everything looks great!

Suspected Red Ring of Doom on a 7 day candle, absolutely no movement from the embryo. Yay or nay?

I kid you not, half of mine looked like that in my last hatch. Same thing this time. I would wait another few days.

I would be keeping that egg are you by chance incubating it on it’s side? @BuckeyeFoodie

I am incubating the egg on it's side. I have a nurture right 360, and have verified the turner is working. None of my other eggs look like this. It's still in the incubator, but if it's bad I'd rather get it out sooner rather than later!

My broody was suppose to hatch EE eggs I gave her on Halloween but only one hatched on Halloween and the rest are hatching now. Plus, she has some of her own Key West eggs that Im not sure are fertile, so I guess I am now in the November Hatchalong lol.

I ended up tossing the red ring egg this morning, because the bacteria line was very obvious after another 10 hours in the incubator. Not a moment too soon, it exploded like a bomb when I tossed it!

Whoops! So glad you did!

So, of my three that I dont know the gestational age of, how close do we think this egg is? Amazon literally dropped my hatcher-bator off an hour ago, and I've got it warming up. I swear I heard a pip, but that could have been my cameras clicking to/from night vision...

Just hours away from lockdown and 3 eggs were eliminated because they looked dead. Lock down is Monday so in about 25-35 hours I will be going into lockdown depending one when I fall asleep/wake up. 5 Ayam Cemanis, 9 Silver Leghorn, 7 red bird dark egg project eggs, 5 Red Leghorns, 2 Naked Necks, 2 Barred Leghorn project birds, and 7 Seramas... if that does not add up to 37 then my math or my counting is poor (likely).

I am new to incubating and such but I’m gonna drop a guesstimate that it has a week to go

Nope, it's definitely pipping! Now I just have to hope that I can keep the humidity in that incubator high enough - just found out the hard way that the Farm Innovations models have little holes in the bottom, and it's stubbornly refusing to go higher than 55%....
