September Hatch-A-Long!

[DeannaA]

I found my first stinker today. It was oozing too. Was fine 4 hours ago. It came from the second to worst batch I've had. Sad thing is that these were local. Half were infertile. 2 had the ring of death in the first week and now the oozy stinker. There are only 3 left. Now I'm worrried about leaving them in the incubator with the others. I don't want my other eggs to be ruined. The other eggs look and smell healthy. But so did this other one a few hours ago. I guess I will just keep checking frequently.

Ooh...not fun huh? Shipping eggs are unpredictable.

Thanks! I wanna skip a day or two of school so I can be there for when they hatch but my parents said no.

But I'll just set on Friday. I'm going to a swap Saturday and may get a few hatching eggs. So they'll hatch a day after.

Set up your web cam on the hatching eggs and watch it from your cell. I bet you can google how to do it.

Holy eggs! How many do you get each batch??? That is way more than what I have ever DREAMED of

They aren't all started at the same time. I like to have something hatching about every 3 days. I need my CHICKS! Soon once every three days won't be enough...

These were local eggs. Won't be buying from that guy again. It's hard to buy local eggs and most are crappy.

I couldn't stand it, I had to try candling my eggs again. I actually did see one moving!!!!! It was soooo awesome! Looks like another one but the dust though. Down to 6!

Ooh... Bad luck You have to admit though, Shipped Eggs are unpredictable; like the ones that explode or just the whole batch isn't fertile... Unpredictable.

That is ok, I always look at the eggs during Lockdown- it is fun to watch them move, but when they "Bite the dust" , it is hard. Especially when you have no clue how it happened.

I don't have a webcam I do have an iPod touch, but not a cell phone. I was thinking of video taping a hatch thought and then speeding it up and keeping it forever. I think that would be super cool.

Soo.....3 of the 4 eggs I got from my MIL have started weeping and I've had to throw out. Everytime the yolk was scrambled. :/ They only traveled 20 mins by car so I'm not sure what happened. She has a habit of soaking her eggs overnight in water to help clean them when they're dirty so I think that's what happened. 1 is developing good though. It's day 14. Doesn't look like either of my EE eggs are developing though its hard to see through the shell. 2 of my 3 Banty eggs are doing great. I actually saw the feet kicking on one last night when I was candling.

Here's hoping.

Candled some of the eggs I wasnt sure where fertile and they were which was an amazing surprise!
