Thanksgiving Day Hatch, anyone?

[ShysCreations]

I set splash Marans, silkies, blue/black mottled cochins & brabanters then counted days to find arrival....Thanksgiving! Good thing our family decided to hold it the weekend before! We may be overrun with young chickies (fingers crossed)
I probably shouldn't have hatched this late in the year. Freezing temps at night create some extra work (now that its dark by 5pm)to gather waterers and return them in the morning. BUT the incub was working so well and funny how others mentioned it, but it is really satisfying to see the chicks arrive.

I have some of my own chickens' eggs due on turkey day, but they usually hatch early!

My eggs are due the day after but since they are ours..I am counting on them being a little early...hopefully!

Anyone have any candling updates?

Unfortunately I only have 2, maybe 3 that look good and developing. I guess that won't be too bad if all 3 hatch. Time will tell, as it usually does.

Good luck!

Hi. My coturnix are due starting the 23rd about every other day for a week.. Could kick myself for putting them in as they came. 8, 5, 7, 3, hard to keep track of.

I keep wanting to peak.

I have been so worried about my button quail eggs that I totally forgot that my eggs were due next week!

I don't think I've candled them at all! Probably be my best hatch

I had candled previously but I did not take anything out. Out of 20 eggs 4 were questionably. Last night I candled again, and those 4 were the only bad eggs. So I have 16 of our mutts growing.
