[igorsMistress]

Thank you, I'll have to join in on the one in June, this is my absolute last hatch till around the 5th of June..lol, then I break out the big guns, my 24 count incubator.

I sometimes watch the HALS for fun. It's living vicariously lol

, that's like my hatching for others, I get my hatching fix while not having to raise them beyond teaching them to eat and drink.

Our hen hatched out 3 BCM pures one week ago.

Just checked the incubator and now I have 2 chicks out and a third one about halfway zipped!! So far all 3 have been from my flock. 1 that is out plus the one that is almost out are from my Black Penedesenca hen and what ever the rooster is. I'm still hoping 1 or both of the eggs I got from someone else will hatch.
I also bought a forced air fan kit and a new incubator today. Hopefully the fan kit will take care of the problem but we won't know until this hatch is done and over.

Have a BBS marans that is pipped and progressing and I think that’s my last one! Hopefully they make it out tonight so I can just candle the other eggs in the dark and make sure they’re done. I saw some of the ones left wiggle on lockdown day but nothing since and my first hatch was out 36 hours ago.

Also the down on the two splash marans i hatched is GORGEOUS.

still just have the 1 chick....silkie x BO.....2 more chicken eggs pipped and several quail eggs pipped. past quail hatches have usually had majority pop 12-18 hours into day 17 which started @7pm so I should have a bunch by noon tomorrow.

Nary a pip as of yet. I won't be able to hear peeping as the older group is in the same room. I checked them a few times. I grabbed one and flatly candled and saw wing movement but no internal pip. The temp dropped greatly for at least 8 hours a few days ago though so they could be delayed a day or so. When I went to raise humidity for lockdown I didn't realize that adding the fan would mess with it so much. I had to reorganize so the temp would stay steady 99-100 again. Bah. Will be very sad if I get 0 to hatch after improving the incubator when I at least got 4 to hatch with the non circulated one lol
Been busy with work last two days so haven't been able to keep up in here. Hope everyone's hatches are going well.
