OK, this is not good, not good at all... The fan unit in the top of my main bator keeps coming loose from the screws. I am heating up the cooler bator right now, going to transfer the eggs before the unit falls and crushes an egg or a chick. I don't understand how this happened....this is a brand new unit that I just put in and the screws are stripped already?! Think I am going to try to add some glue to try to help hold it together. Must get it fixed before the main event!

Not to flood the thread with photos but LOOK AT MY NEW BABY CHICKS THAT JUST HATCHED TODAY!!! there are actually 10 total but somehow i missed taking photos of one of the black ones and i can't tell them apart enough to figure out which one. They are mostly barnyard mixes, one EE and two cochin bantams

OH, DO flood!!

I want to join!
Not sure what I am setting (numbers), but I am definitely participating!

Whatcha setting??? Chicken or turkey??

1512 posts. That's how many I would have to read to catch up. YEAH!!! That ain't gonna happen!

I have eggs in lockdown and when I closed them up I noticed a pip. I'm dyes, I doing dry incubation and they aren't even due till friday, so I opened the pip a little too much and saw a closed, dry-ish beak. Tried to move it and nothing. When I went to toss all the quiters I kind of stopped when I went to toss that egg, because I thought I saw it move. Looked close and figured I was seeing things, but just on the off chance I stuck it back in the bator. A few hours later I was just sitting and thinking "I need to get that dead egg out before I contaminate the rest. Help a light over to check before I opened it and the chick is moving around in the shell. Wish I hadn't made the hole now, but maybe he'll surprise me. The membrane was really stuck when I was trying to open it to see if I lost him, but it looks nice and moist now. Still they aren't due till Friday, so I hope this early bird just hangs out and manages to survive and hatch. So glad I didn't toss him in the trash.

My AMs, Marans, and Rocks are all still holding out on laying, so still not sure what I'll be hatching. Man I hope they get to work out there. Rotten Prima Donas!

Looks like you'll have a few hatch!!
