Set date 7/2/12 ...need hatching buddies

Date sort Score sort
Lol...hahah dude it's already day 20...if i'am not wrong....
 
Yes the date of the month is/was the 20th but you have to take away two days from that since the eggs were set on the 2nd of the month. Unless you set them on a different day? 20-2=18 which would make today day 19.
 
Oh dear...i didn't know that..:P
But i had increased the humidity and stopped turning the eggs on the 15th day itself...it that okay?
 
I heard chirping / trying to peck out in 3/7 eggs! :). Hopefully by tonight they all will start chirping.
 
I set 33 in a Brinsea (holds 24) on the night of 7-5. 15 50% English Orp, 18 75% English Opr. I can't believe how HUGE the 75% eggs are! As of today I have zero of the 50% English Orp eggs left. I had one stinking like mad on day 7 and it took out the 4 around it and the one on top of it. 2 days later a second one of the 50% English Orp started stinking and took out 3 with it, of the other 8 50% they all quit by day 10 (blood rings). The 75% English Orps 7 not fertile, 3 quitters and 8 still kicking! Little worried about one as the air cell is huge compared to everyone else. Lock down on the 23rd, Fingers crossed, I just need a few hens out of this and I will have what I need to breed my own for a little while.
 
Yay yay yay!! GO BROODY's!!!!!!


I'm hoping I can catch a chick in hatching, I'venever seen one up close except at museums...
Eeek!!! I'm SO EXCITED! We weren't sure about the broody's, since they were fighting over eggs, stealing them from each other, and just being 'not-the-best' broody's. If a chick hatched,we didn't know what they'd do, since this is their first time. My mom went out at 2:00 am, nothing. We just went out like 10 minutes ago and my mom was like, "Do you hear that chirping?" It was really loud! It turned out to be a wild bird.... well. I got in there and Houdinni was under Daisy's armpits, she must've liked that... Well, Houdinni forgot about 2 eggs, or maybe not. One of the brown eggs was broken.. in half. One half was by the other two eggs, the other under Houdinni. AHHH!!! YES!!!!! One of the second eggs who piped yesterday had hatched! It looks like a light brahama, yellow with tiny furry legs! Except, they birds are all mixes, and it has a black dot on it's head. We're calling her/him Dot! It looks like she just hatched 30 minutes ago, she wasn't wet, nor dry. She was all cuddled under Daisy, and Daisy was trying to protect her from my hand. Turns out these two can be good mothers :). Houdinni had slided over so the chick could get out (I'm guessing) and after it was out, forgot about the other two eggs. IT was a bantam egg and I think another light brown egg. The bantam egg had a hole about a cm. big, and cracks all around it. The bantam is yellow looking :). They were cold.. .the bantam egg was still moving though. So I'm hoping everything will be alright,and my brother and I are going to check back around 6:30 since a bantam egg looked close to hatching. Sorry, no pictures. It's dark out! :). Maybe next time I check.. it is so cute :). After I put the chick back (my mom and I were holding it for a couple seconds) it immidently tried going into houdinni's back, (SO CUTE!!!) Then I put her under Daisy and she went under her wing, and Daisy purred a nice little sound :). Happy endings... :) Well. Not really. Still have 6 eggs to go! And the bantam egg I kept seeing moving inside the shell hasn't piped. My blue egg did! It's not very far along. Alright... done typing... for now!
