The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[ronott1]

I'm fighting a candling addiction. I'd make candling a part of my evening routine and make sure that I always have eggs in the 'bator!!!
But I need a second incubator so I can set eggs more often then I can candle more often then I can have chicks more often, but then I'll have to build coops and pens more often. Hmmm Oh, well.

Try hard to not candle during the first 7 days. Your hatch rates will go up.

The spinning Tea Pot makes me want to go to Disneyland!

I have to keep myself busy so I don't end up candeling when I'm not supposed to. Lol Otherwise, I'd be candeling all the time too. Lmbo

Same here.  I have to force myself to stick to only candling on days 7, 14, and 18.
This hatch I candled on day 9; it got a bit too warm in the 'bator, so I used cooling the eggs off and leaving it open as an excuse to candle off schedule.

Done that already.... Its no fun when you think you cooked your babies..: ( Although it sure is nice to find out that they are all fine.
