"Springing in the Chicks" 2016 April Hatch-a-Long Hosted by Mike & Sally

So nervous this morning, put eggs in lockdown last night, waiting for some kind of movement is hard. I just want some sign of life.

Ooo, babies soon. I go into lockdown on Fri.

Thank you. I hear chirping.
Yes I have this model
99 dollars. It has worked well this is my first hatch.

I've had this one in the past. It worked well for me too. I just didn't like the messing with keeping those wires just right for the door.

Hi! I just moved 22 eggs to lockdown! 13 Salmon Favorelle and 9 of my own silkies. It's only day 18, but more than half already drew down, but others look like they have a ways to go. I'm leaving for the rest of the day, won't be home till tomorrow night, so thought it was better to move them a day early.

Happy Hatching everyone!

I love The Favorelles, and I love love the silkies..can't wait to see photos! Good Luck!

So much exciting stuff this weekend!

I have duck eggs pipping! Seramas hatching. Emu eggs wiggling.

And... I got my very first ever Silkie egg! After all my hatching and loosing my first flock to raccoons, I have never gotten an egg before. So exciting

I also scored some Sebastopol goose eggs yesterday so I hope they will develop. . All my other goose eggs have been a bust.

I lost that one today by waiting too long. It was chirping loud and I thought, good, it wants out and it shouldn't be long. Checked a couple hours later and no sound. When I put in a peek hole, after I candled it, I discovered it drowning. After I partially hatched it, it only made it about a half an hour in the incubator. I tried getting the fluid out of it but they are so small and easily hurt.

Makes you feel awful when you can't save a baby that is ready to hatch.

I have 13 eggs collected to set! Have to ask the house sitter if she collected any eggs rom the seramas, if so I might have even more.

Oh darn, Sally has no internet. Can anyone else experienced with serama eggs check out my candling photo on the previous page? It's day 10. I need to know if I should adjust my humidity which has been at 55 from day 1.

Air cells look small to me, I'd go dry for the rest.
