Setting eggs on 3/7. Anyone else?

[MEMama3]

I ordered eggs from three different sellers through eBay.  Two sets came on the same day.  The other set was lost in the mail (Though it was actually sent out first).

I decided to start incubating the first two sets anyway.  And a week later, the third batch arrived!  I took the chance (it had been a winter storm in our area) and placed them in the same incubator...

...they began to develop.

As excited as I am...I now have the two batches in the incubator (with the automatic turner) and I am going into Day 20!  The first wave of chicks is chirping and I need to A). Remove the turner and B) Try not to lose the second wave of babies!

I'd focus on the first set. Remove the Turner, up the humidity and get them hatched. Once they're out, lower your humidity back down and resume turning. If I understand you correctly, the second set is about 13 days along. At that stage they can get away with the higher humidity and not being turned for a few days. The first week is when things like that can harm them.

Yeah for all the hatches so far. I'm hoping to be part of that team by the end of the day. I just my first pip :-D

I still have no pips! I'm a bit nervous. Temp and humidity has been steady the whole time. Am I really going to get 0 out of 48 eggs I started with? 37 made it to lockdown. I expected at least 5.

did you set eggs on the 7th? It's still pretty early. Sometimes it can take up to 25 days (some people have had it go even longer than that).

I set them at noon on the 6th....maybe I'm a day ahead of myself?

that puts you on day 20. Everything is absolutely fine. You should be getting pips today or tomorrow, but again, it can take longer. I set the same time you did and I have three pips out of 14 eggs.

Ok so I was a day ahead of myself! Thank you for clarifying! I'll relax a bit now. Lol

I sent mine on the seventh and I actually set them in the evening so I should be a day behind everyone who set them on the seventh. I don't see any movement or hear anything yet. I have managed to stabilize my humidity at 63% and my temperature at 99.4

 

[MEMama3]

I'm up to 7 pips, but it's been slow moving. The first one was at about 4am and the latest was just a few minutes ago.
