October Hatch-A-Long 2017

[Fanci Feathers Marans]

Going on lockdown today. I candeled them, and the sideways one is still developing. No internal pips yet, which is normal. Should hatch in two to three days!

Oh, I forgot. Here's my 'pedigree box'.
See that weird egg? It didn't develop. Of course.

I am so excited that everyone's eggs are developing so nicely!! I don't think mine are going to make it. I still don't see much happening in them I am thinking my humidity might have been too high. I read some that say 25-35 and some say 45-50 and some say 50-60. So I've been running it in the 50-60 range and I think it was too high.

My new incubator!

Kidding, it's a house, but closing is done and it's ours. Eggs arrive next week and now I'll need to get a real incubator.

If you’re not too far into incubation, you could always try running your incubator dry or with less humidity for a couple days to see if that helps make up for the time in which the humidity was higher. How are their air cells looking? In my experience, higher humidity levels don’t do much until after lockdown, the chicks will develop fine until that point since they aren’t breathing, but drown after pipping internally. Not exactly sure what day you’re on, but are you seeing any good veining when you candle? Got my fingers crossed for you!

Gorgeous scenery there. I wish the view from my front porch was so pretty! Congrats on the new house!

I vote 50-60. Besides, I don't think excessive humidity would kill a chick. I just heard it might make them too big for the shell or something.... How far along are your eggs?

14 days. And they all look about like this...

A little veining that's been there since about day 4-5 but that's it. Is it time to call it quits?

Oh dear. That looks like a clear egg. Weren't they fertilized? Is your roo old, perhaps?
