I currently have 3 Turken mix eggs in my incubator. 25 more were shipped today that are NN/Dorking/Red Ranger mixes that'll be due the week of Halloween.

Just did my final candle and put 17 into lockdown (had another quitter but that was a bit iify last candle) very happy with how things are going so far, especially with the trouble keeping the temp down with how hot its been here

I just candled my eggs for the last time and saw a chicks claw fully formed through the shell..was amazing! I never saw that so clearly before! Almost scared me into thinking they're gonna hatch sooner. All nine of them go into lockdown tomorrow, day 19 and then the count down begins.....grrrrr.

What kind of candler/flashlight are you using?

 

[igorsMistress]

I candled the eggs in my incubator now. All 3 have veins so we're in good shape.

Still waiting for shipped eggs to get here, they're out for delivery...

@Erba isn't day 19 late for a Lockdown? I did a Lockdown on Monday morning (yesterday), day 18, counting from 0, AH which is the same as 19 counting from 1. I am glad I am working long hours this week, otherwise I'll be checking the eggs every 20min..
