Setting Eggs 3/7 Anyone with me!?

[OR4-hmom]

As I understand it, eggs loaded before noon you would count the first day. If loaded later don't count the first day.

Sorry to hear about the quitters, I also leave the questionable ones in until lockdown. The way I look at it they are good heatsinks until (if) they smell. I would hate to pull one that was in a rest period by mistake.

I'll try and wait until Friday to candle again but I might not make it.

I have a feeling mine will be hatching while I'm at work mostly, not that I planned it that way. I need to put a note n with them asking for their cooperation so I can get some sleep when I get off work Sunday morning!

At least the 3 breeds don't look alike as chicks.

My temps must have been a bit to high because my babies are hatching a day early!
I already have one out of the shell and 6 more that have pipped. I'm waiting patiently on the other 22.....

Pipped eggs and patience? I didn't think they could be used in the same sentence. Great to hear they are popping for you, wishing you continued success!

Its been a long night. 15 eggs have hatched and were moved into another incubator to make room for new babies.
So far everything seems to be going good. I have one chick with splayed legs and another with curled toes. I'm on my way to tsc now for chick vitamins and vet wrap to fix some feet

So happy about the chicks, I've still got 10 days to wait.
