Two out of the seven bantys are good which is upsetting in a way since they stopped laying and I was looking forward to the little bantys but two are good let’s hope they both make it

. all 8 of my BO eggs are growing and you can see dancing chicks

3 of which were in the fridge for two weeks. The rest are hard to tell the ones I could see in were growing but the rest are just too dark I think I have a RIR and that is her eggs so lets hope for fuzzy butts

I set 14 eggs on 8/18. I bought 'revolutionmama"'s Heritage and Rare breed surprise auction. I know I have 3 Bantam Polish, 1 Black Sumatra, 3 Lav Silkies, and a few Coronation Sussex. After that, I don't know. On some of them they only have the date they're layed, and on others there is no markings so who knows what they are!

In 19 days I shall find out!

Oh, I'm doing the "Dry Incubation Method" this time, is anybody else trying this out?

I set 14 BBS Ameraucana eggs on Thursday 8.11.11 from a fellow BYC... 'Rockinpaints' on here and 13 are moving and lots of veins...

I could tell one was way porous by just looking at it and knew it wasn't going to start but candled it anyway...

oh well!

so I am joining the party with y'all....

Wow

13/14 is AWESOME! For shipped eggs, even more awesome! I've never had a hatch rate that good on ANY of my hundreds of shipped eggs!

What kind of incubator, and method are you using?

dwegg--WOW! What awesome looking eggs! THey look electric--electric blue. THink I found more eggs I gotta have!

Mrs FLuffy Puffy--I tried dry incubation after day 7 of my last hatch as the air cells hadn't developed at all by 7 days (I filled the wells according to the LG manual!) Had a few shrink wrap. THis time I'm maintaining 40-45% humidity and 7 day candling looked reasonable for air cell development.

I don't want to give the wrong impression here-- I do think dry incubating is more effective !! I wet a quarter of a sponge to maintain %RH.

Shayna--Thanks for sharing the pictures. It's like looking at my eggs--not always sure what i'm looking at.

If in doubt I leave it in. I'm not having a good development rate this time around. I'm thinking it's partly due to the summer being the lowest fertility time: Lots of clears for me. And the many with blood rings is mostly because the eggs are not fresh.

FGF18--sorry your camera isn't working.

I'm not going to add any water until lockdown. I may not have a good hatch rate, but this is a test run so we shall see.
