@Sally Sunshine
Broody hatch done.
Had tossed one of four that was clear.
Two hatched and she injured one to the point of death.
The other did not hatch, looks like it quit early.
Looking forward to lockdown in a couple days.
Just got some Silkie, and couple of Icelandic, SFH eggs yesterday.
They were shipped out on the 5th................
Got 3 broken eggs and 3 cracked ones.
Put clear nail polish over the cracks....
May end up adding roughly 40 quail eggs in a few days.........
Got one quail egg 13.4g today
As you go along, would you let us know specifically how the "repaired" eggs are fairing? That sounds like a great idea but I'm wondering about bacteria.

So 18 eggs left out of 40 but I expect the number to go back up once they settle in.[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]@Yorkshire coop Brisea 20.

May end up adding roughly 40 quail eggs in a few days......... [COLOR=333333]@Coreenelane My incubator made by grandson and class mate will be free to set more eggs around April 10th. Right now eggs are being incubated for a science project that both boys are working on. The second clutch is in a large dog crate in the class mates garage. The hen was given 6 eggs from other chickens and showed signs of broodiness before the science project started. The next day she laid an egg and pushed out 3 of the original eggs. Next day she laid another and is sitting on them. Hope to learn a lot and incubate more eggs. Grandkids showing chickens in 4-H and selling eggs. Hens are paying for the feed and I want to breed and sell chickens. Candled some Sultun eggs today and so far so good. Trying to separate silkis and Sultuns so I don't have any cross breading. I think my silkis are starting to lay but not sure. I am finding very light cream small eggs but I thought I read somewhere that they laid peewee size eggs. [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]@emvickrey I plan on putting my new bator to use this year.[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]@jrc85 firing up the incubator. OK well the duck finally got off the nest so I could see and she was hiding eggs so it is actually 10 eggs under her lol[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]@Mirajane Firing up the incubator to see what she can hatch[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]@chicken19 I have some chicks that I'm hatching right now. They are 12 americaunas, 12 production reds, and 2 caramel queens.[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]@DwayneNLiz I will be setting around 40 eggs I think, mostly barnyard mutts, and the guy at the Napa down the road is giving me 2 dozen bantam/Silkies. Going to use my neighbors incubator-she's had good luck with it. Probably set them on Saturday 3/26 [COLOR=333333]So currently I have 41 eggs in my borrowed bator and daycare has 10, so in all 51 eggs.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]AHHHH!! I have a chick!! Wasn't due to hatch until SATURDAY NIGHT, geez, so not ready!!![/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]The pip i posted last night was almost completely zipped as i was leaving for work, and i have another external pip waiting for me to check on it when i get home, it is hard being at work right now![/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]@kybyxbee Hatch day produced one Svart Hona chick.

[COLOR=333333]@katsdar [/COLOR] 19 eggs made it into lock down, so they should start hatching sat. we will see!!! now Maran dark eggs are they the ones that need extra humidity during lock down? and for the record, I think ALL my hens have decided to go broody except 2 [COLOR=333333]@weegarden [/COLOR] We had five chicks hatch total out of 7 in our classroom! 2 didn't make it. One was a little white silkie, and the rest were rocks! The kids are just thrilled. They are taking turns holding them, and just love them. The best part is watching them sneak over to the little blue chick cage, with a book about chickens, to read to the chicks! It is absolutely precious to watch them. My class is just going crazy with learning fun right now! The kids are having a ball! I have 4 eggs in another surprise incubator that could hatch today. 
) so I might get more of those... plus 10 out of 12 chocolate orpington/cream legbar mix eggs I got (shipped eggs) are developing, and it looks like 6 out of 7 of my silver/choc ameracauna eggs are developing too. There are also the 5 silver quail eggs developing and 6 eggs from my ducks in the incubator too @caeti21 I added eggs to the incubator today i have 14 eggs total 
@Bryam I have 8 silkie eggs due to hatch in 2 days!!!! @hereorthere Went into lockdown last night. Humidity is at 60-62% in the past 8-9 hrs since I left, but hovered around 57-59% all yesterday evening/night. @CGilbert Joining in with my white, buff, and bantam self blue Ameraucana eggs. @nanceann First time hatcher. I have a buff who seems to be broody so I thought I'd leave americaunas eggs under her. We have one roo and he stays busy. @slordaz Putting 47 in the incubator this afternoon.They are barn yard mixes. set 42 barnyard mixes this morning @banannalee I Finally got an incubator after I had received numerous calls for chicks. So I set up my first hatch. 25 EE's, 4 silkies, 2 ducks and 2 geece eggs one of which is a double yolker. On Day 4 of candling i saw a blood ring on one of the duck eggs so lost that one...the rest are veining up nicely with a couple of ??'s. chickens are due 4/21 and waterfowl on 4/28. @Eps32 I'm in I have 35+ eggs hatching today. Don't know if they count. Also have 42 in the other incubator set to hatch in 14 days. And will be setting another full egg turner of eggs after this hatch today. @SilkiesForEver Still trying to hatch my Rosecomb's eggs. I've got 6 eggs in the incubator. @stiles1113 Hello I'm new! This is my first time incubating and I have call duck eggs, white pekin duck eggs, khaki Campbell duck eggs, and mallard duck eggs. 5 were set Friday and 7 were set this morning. Any tips are greatly appreciated! I'm using the little giant still air incubator @Madonna m Everything looks good so far. Starting on day five. All 24 eggs just rollin along. Keeping humidity in check this time. @SH HoneyBadger I have eight eggs that I just set on April 3. Four eggs are Svarthona and four are lavender Orpington. @Choco Maran I have EE/Dominque crosses and cochin, silver lace, or blue lace crosses due to hatch on April 11th. So far I have four hatched. @rottlady So now my incubator has 12 Barnevelder, 12 Delaware, 4 Crested Cream Legbar and 4 Sizzle @chickygirl7 Welsh Harlequins just went into the bator! Im so excited!!! @Ur-ur-ur-urrr you can count me in this hatch-a-long... I just set 30 HRIR eggs in the bator and 3 penguin eggs. [COLOR=333333]Set # 1: 11 viable, 3 blood rings, 1 highly questionable (will give it more time), and 1 slightly questionable. A few have good veining, but can't see the embryo.[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]Set # 5: 11 viable, 2 blood rings, 1 clear, 2 highly questionable (will give it more time), and 1 slightly questionable. A few have good veining, but can't see the embryo.[/COLOR] I pulled the 5 blood rings and 1 clear, and put the questionable eggs back in the bators. There are 24 eggs cooking, and all will (most likely) stay in until next candling. I'm almost positive that the 3 highly questionable eggs won't make it, but I'll be extremely happy if I only lose those 3 from here on... @mrleeroy 10 Cream Brabanter expected to hatch on 4/28! Set 5 more eggs in the bator Yesterday 4/11 to hatch on my Birthday! I candled the shipped eggs last night, and all had movement inside but 1, and it did have veining. Day 7 for them. The newer group of eggs are still riding the turner, waiting to be candled Monday evening. @Jetblack2004 I have 21 eggs in an incubator now. They are Glw x RIR and Lsx x RIR and due to hatch on Sunday! @melaniekemp I set 14 shipped eggs on March 26. Day 19. Just now had one external pip and one internal pip. First time trying to hatch eggs so I super nervous that even now I could lose them all. 14 shipped eggs and only 6 made it to lockdown. I'm so nervous : ( @karenerwin Just set 13 Black Penedesenca eggs on Thursday, April 7th. @circ director Okay, I decided to set 40 for the April hatch. The 22 hens out of 34 chicks hatched in the Easter hatch we're going to be added to my flock, but I got a good offer for the entire hatch and took it. That means I still need more pullets by around September. @Hawk12 total in incubator/s = 27 set on the evening of 04/06 and 04/07. @bbgranch Have 7 guinea eggs in the incubator. Day 14 update for 7guinea eggs. Candled today and all looking good. 14 days to go. Scheduled hatch day is April 24. @darkbluespace Yesterday I set Silkie eggs under my two broodies, more in the bator. 7 Bantam Cochin eggs, a couple of mystery large chicken eggs and 25 button quail. I already have mini chicken, duck, goose and emu incubating so I believe that is the most varieties I have ever incubated simultaneously! I have 18 or so Serama eggs on day 17 and a couple of little hens also on day 17, one with 5 eggs and a tiny tiny hen with 3. My hatcher has an emu in it at 97 degrees, so I guess I'll have to hatch the seramas in the bator they are in. I prefer to hatch in still air... Oh well. I still have a few days. Air cells are pretty tiny though. @junebuggena I managed to squeeze 3 dozen Easter Egger eggs into my Incuview. Day 5 candling here for my overloaded Incuview. Out of 3 dozen set, I pulled 18 clears. @KHoward Tonight I set 18 Icelandics and 48 FCBM's in two Janoel incubators. And because I couldn't leave well enough alone, I set 8 duck eggs under a broody chicken! @Corwynnde I'm so egg-cited to join you! This is my first time incubating so I'm sure I'll have tons of questions. Just got a GQF Genesis 1588 set up today, and a dozen serama eggs ready to go in tomorrow morning! @Tchefunky Chick I wanna join this hatch-a-long. I have 29 eggs incubating. One chick hatched on April 7. @Shay1Bear April 1st I set 30 Americana eggs. Hatch 4-21 April 3rd I set 17 Button Quail eggs. Hatch 4-20 @mammat Just set 8 lav orphington,14 german bielefelders,14 barred rock and 12 silkies in the incubator on 4/7. Also have silkie momma on 5 due to hatch any day now and another silkie momma on 10 due to hatch in 2 weeks 
ut of 15 eggs I ended up w 6 pips. 5 in wrong end. One was in right place, and he had started zipping and I had to go to work. When I got home he had died in shell. One pip didnt start zipping at all and I waited 12 hrs to b sure he wouldnt get out on his own. I read sallys info on last resort helping and tried to follow her advice to the letter. With much patience, I ended up w a hatched chick who didnt look good at all. He laid there w occasional twitches but couldnt even hold his head up and rarely even opened his eyes. To my amazement, he survived the night and finally was up and running after about 24 hrs! He is about a week old now and doing great! With the high costs for the eggs n shipping, he has been named steve, my million dollar chick. Lol. I had also set 5 of my own eggs that I thought were from marilyn n elvis who r white silkies. Imagine my surprise when they came out and were obviously from my mille fleur bantams. I hve just recetly gotten back into chickens and all of these birds are all new. Out of 5 eggs, 1 was clear, and 3 hatched. Not too bad on those for my reentry at hatching.
