September 2022 Hatch-a-long🌞

[LadiesAndJane]

I have a "few" eggs...
7 quail, coturnix. 1 balut, day 18, hatch date: September 5, 2022
the others I found in a grocery store, day 3. one white quail egg, and the rest normal. Two are definitely showing veins.
4 shipped goose eggs. One dent, one saddled air sac, three detached air sac on day 3. hatch date: October 1, 2022, maybe earlier.
13 chicken eggs. two dark brown, maybe from marans, two light brown, one very light brown, one green, from an olive egger, two blue, from an ameraucana, hatch date: September 24, 2022.
One green, from an olive egger, one very light brown, one blue, from an ameraucana, hatch date: September 10, 2022
One speckled, from a welsummer, one brown-green, maybe from an olive egger. Hatch date: September 17, 2022
Two duck, day two, hatch date: October 2, 2022, maybe earlier, my waterfowl always hatched earlier.
The chicken eggs are most likely all going to be olive eggers, as they came from a farm with blue, green, and brown roosters and hens.

That’s quite a mix of breeds, colors and types of fowl! Exciting to see what you get out of all of these!

I risked life and limb to candle my broody's eggs again last night. All 5 are looking good. Roughly 1 week until hatch day! At some point, I'm going to need to try to move her down to the coop floor (my nest boxes are a little less than a foot off the ground). That should be fun for all concerned (not!).

This where mine is at. The Darnnit girl!

Nice to see some others joining in!

My three Silkie eggs still look great here DAY 15. Will likely hatch this Saturday. I was going to set some more eggs but I just sold this weeks hatching eggs today. So anymore I collect or set from today will have October hatch dates.

Dont know if I said this before but I changed out the eggs on the 5th I replaced the 4 with 6, 5/6 where fertile. Let me get pictures of the lightest egg.

Its a white egg from a white leghorn. On day 4, I count by hours not days so the second it hits 48 hours thats day 2, 94 hours is day 4. You get it.

Today is Day 21 of my very first hatch! Out of 26 eggs, 13 had no fertility. Out of the rest, 7 made it to lockdown in our NR360. We're about 15 hours into Day 21, and 4 have external pips so far! One is much farther along. It's amazing to hear them chirping. Really hoping for some healthy sno Swedish Flower Hens!!! The entire process has been so unique, from the first veins and eyes to seeing a fully formed chick.

Congratulations!
It’s so exciting isn’t it? Even after doing it for years, it never gets old seeing the little chicks develop and then hatch.

Our first two chicks have hatched!

Someone ate one of my broody’s eggs. So she’s down to four now. But one has an external pip as of this evening, and another was chirping away when I checked them. So fingers crossed for at least two chicks for her to raise.

This morning there were 6! Waiting on one final egg, that's just starting to shake around. Had planned to leave everyone in the incubator, but one got its foot caught. 2 are still in there drying, and 4 were moved to the brooder. Humidity seems to have stayed up ok after opening and closing; dropped in a warm paper towel.
