September 2016 Hatch-A-Long

[snywalker]

I'm in e First time hatching eggs for me. Have 12 Australorp eggs in the incubator. Couldn't help myself this morning that I had a go at candling (yes I know most say wait till day 7). Just did two at random to see if any spider webs would be visible and YES- both #6 and #9 that I checked have webs visible at 84hrs into incubation. WOOT Now to wait the long wait. Can't wait for little chickens......

What are you using to candle? I like how bright it looks.

Im setting the same exact day as you! Which puts the chicks at hatching a day after my birthday!

Got my eggs this morning. They are from my mama's chickens so didn't have to worry about shipping

black sex links and a few mix breeds. Can't wait to see what happens in 3 week's

Hi, everyone! I came over from the August forum. We are in lockdown, with a peachick peeping but not pipping yet. The incubator is going to be freed up in a few days, so I am checking out local eggs for a September hatch. So far, it looks like quail and Silkies are available. Why didn't anyone warn me that hatching is addicting??

I'm going to try incubating dry this time. Do any of y'all do this? If so maybe I could get some tips. I read that dry is the best way to go some people get 100% hatch rate.
