I candled eggs today and only 6 of the 14 shipped Silver Laced/Gold Laced Cochin eggs are growing now at Day 6. 1 other is questionable but I suspect it's a quitter. 3 of the ones growing had broken air sacs along with the 1 questionable one that I'm leaving in for right now. I marked the ones with broken air sacs and am anxious to see if any of those hatch. All 7 that I tossed had broken air sacs. I opened them up before I threw them away, 2 weren't fertile and 5 were early quitters &/or blood rings.
I got 12 Silver Laced Cochin eggs at Newcastle Apr 7th and only 4 of those were even fertile, I broke them open after a week to be sure that was the reason they didn't grow, nope-not fertile. I've got 2 of those in lockdown and 2 more going into lockdown next week, At this rate I'll be really lucky if I get 5 Cochins out of the 26 eggs I set. And 2-3 of those are going to be males which I wouldn't be keeping,
Not great luck with the Cochin eggs, huh?
The eggs were set at 3 different times so I'm already using the small one for a hatcher lolMitzi look on the bright side, now you have more room in the incubator. You could use the smaller unit as your hatcher & go ahead & set more eggs!
The wind here is blowing so hard the new girl dog ran up to me & her tail was blowing sideways in the wind. She began going in circles chasing her tail! She is doing much better took a solid wk of getting on to her but she finally has stopped being aggressive to my boys. The only downside is she has more energy than all 3 of my boys put together.
Cowboy I have lots of pips in the hatcher! By tonight we should have a few chicks from your eggs.
Actually you may be right! Boys are genetically the weaker sex lol
