Set eggs today Saturday 2/22 - anyone else?

[GR Chicks]

Ok just went into (semi) lockdown but I have a second set that I will have to hand turn because I only have one bator. I can't wait until Saturday..... our eggs are a wide mix of breeds, so it will be fun to see what they look like once they start feathering. I have two roosters a Russian Orloff and one of his offspring that is a mix. My hens are Red Star, SLW, Ameracauna, Russian Orloff, Black Austalorp, BR, SS, Salmon Faverolle, White Silkie, Crested Polish and some mutts. I just love my girls and this is worse than waiting on Christmas.

I keep looking at the eggs as if I can will them to hatch.... lol.


Thanks again to those who gave me info about the direction of my eggs in the turner. You helped save my hatch.

Well just checked the eggs one last time before bed, and I have one that it moving and shaking!!

That's great!

I just candled a few of mine one last time (earlier it was a little light and this was in pitch darkness) and still didn't see movement in most of the eggs. I'm a little concerned but hopeful that they're just packed in there pretty tight at this point. Lockdown is planned for tomorrow morning.

I have to take pictures of my incubator ....only 2 rails on my turner. Hubby removed. 6 for me they do pop out. I had shipped eggs come a week early , real ameracauna and swedish duck eggs. So I have a. Small basket for the ones that will be hatching. 2 egg cartons with shipped eggs. 4 duck eggs and 2 dorking eggs that need turned. It will clear out soon. After the hatch 2 rails go back in . I am willing to trade dorking eggs for cayuga duck eggs, blue or black copper maran,delaware, and maybe bantams depending pm me maybe we could do an egg swap.

Well I have one pipped and another egg rocking away. Hearing the peep has made it so exciting, but I wasn't expecting them to hatch until Saturday. I got these eggs from my sister-in-law, so can't wait to see. I have to admit that patience is not my virtue.

Wow! Very cool to see everybody's chicks hatching. Mine are on day 20 but I don't see any pips yet. Usually mine start hatching on day 20, but this time I had a slow start with getting them up to temp and I had the power outage during the ice storm. I'll probably walk holes in the floor checking on them today.
