Lockdown has to be the most nerve wracking time ever!

Good morning every one! I wish I could report an external pip from one of my emu eggs, but alas, I think it's going to be at least tomorrow until he/she comes out....but you never know, It could really happen any min. All I know is at the moment, whoever is under the shell is dead asleep lol. But keep your eye out for the link to see when it hatches. (hopefully in the next 36 hours.) SO, When everyone of you that is hatching beautiful little chicks, and after 14 days you don't think you can stand it another moment for them to hatch, remember crazy corny caleb, and what it must be like to suffer threw more then 50 days of anguish

I can't believe I haven't taken a hammer to the eggs a month ago!

I have my first pip. He/She has been chirping periodically throughout the day. I was sitting here on my pc and all of the sudden I heard a louder than usual chirp. Ran over to the incubator and yup, there it was.

Now where did I put that pot of gold!!!

OK here is a question. I am thinking of setting some quail eggs along with the chicken eggs for the hatchalong. Some people like to set them at the same time and have them hatch early before lockdown. Some people like to delay and have them hatch with the chickens during lockdown. What are the pros and cons of these systems?

I would use a hatcher or put them in timed so they hatch same time

Is there a minimum amount of eggs that I have to set ?

NOPE!

Quote: me too~ !

Planning on putting in upto 8 doz eggs to hatch out for easter..

Welcome little Buff Orp.

WELCOME little one!!!! CONGRATS!!

I don't know when I'm NOT incubating something lol. right now i have bredas, welsh harlequin ducks, barnyard mix, cochin, coturnix quail, and Norwegian Jaerhons incubating and I just hatched a lone birchen modern game bantam yesterday.
(oh and if I don't have any chicken eggs incubating there is always snake eggs or crested gecko eggs in the incubator lol)

heres the little MGB- he pipped out the wrong end but did fine just took a little longer than normal.

oh how sweet!! all black!

Today is lock down for my Isabell Marans! Send some good hatch vibes this way peeps! 19 out of 23 shipped eggs (courtesy of DMRippy) made it!!!

I lockdown a ton today too!!

Some olive eggers that hatched yesterday morning. Have 3 eggs left in there today and it's day 22

YAY welcome chickies!!

Good morning! Funny story, I was doing some research about our goose.......turns out it is a gander. Lol. And I was wondering why I hadn't gotten any goose eggs yet... Hahhahahaa. So I am looking for a Toulouse goose now to go with our guy. His name went from Sophie to Sojo this morning.

On another note... I am building a cooler bator today to go along with my other bator. Hatching addiction..... No, I have a friend that needs a few eggs incubated and it looks like I will have my bator filled to the max so I needed another one...

If hubby doesn't kill me first...
Oh, there is an awesome video on YouTube about building a cooler bator and how to do the wiring. FYI.. So any of you that still need a bator, there you go. I will try to post a link to it later.

Kids had a 2hr delay today ***? (What the fudge) We have an inch maybe two of snow on the ground...... Schools have turned into pansies here lately.

OH NO!!! someone posted on the PA thread or were they boys?

[lock down for me today also.

Hope to have a good hatch come Friday/Saturday. Duck eggs to hatch next week..

Sally, I didn't see that post? I will have to look harder I guess..

The waiting begins for us both.... Can't wait to hear little chirps coming from my bator. Must remember to stay out and let nature take its course.... Hardest thing for me..

I'm soon off to Home Depot to get the last of the supplies that I need for my cooler bator.
