Good advice! Thank you!Ok guys. Watch out for cracked eggs. I started incubating 3 days ago and there was a terrible smell today. Cracked one leaked out and stunk it up. I quickly took the eggs out and laid them on a towel then cleaned up. Smells better and eggs in the incubator again.
I did a quick candle to see if there were any more cracked and I SEE DEVELOPMENT in most!!!

Pics would be great!yeah for broodies!!!! now I'm scared though they hear the peeps come out from the one that crazy brooded, so now the others look like raptors sitting on their egg and looking at it like why won't it come out already.
Count so far is 7/24 hatched 1 died, will take camera tomorrow
Good News! Good luck with the rest.1 chick hatched and another with a pip hole in the incubator!!! (only 32 more eggs to go after the 2nd one hatches LOL)
yes,

Quote: Go ahead, get them.
Good luck with the hatch!I am so excited! Tomorrow I set my SFH eggs. I got them on Friday but I am hatching by the moon dates so I have been turning them everytime I turn the eggs in the bator that were set on last Wednesday (at five in the morning to hit the timing right). That reminds me it is time to heat some water to add to the bator.
Thanks for sharing.![]()
Good Luck!So 28 in lockdown. 17 ameraucana, 2 EE, and 9 RIR. Should start the hatch tomorrow afternoon.
I have a hen that has been on broody on golfballs for a week. Think I can swap a few eggs for the golfballs?![]()
Good luck!Grats, I don't wanna know what my count will be in 9 days for new chicks lol, Didn't think that BR first time broody would do so well, and that evil LG that gave me so much trouble last year is down to 9 days with only 7 questionable
Saw a zip in progress when I got home. 2 hours later it was stopped half way, no progress. Pulled (remembered hearing it should be 90 min or less) and carefully removed top. Noticed it was really sticky. Poor little duckywhat causes sticky chicks? Hope it makes it. Looks like a blue runner duck.![]()
