The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

[lena_]

I discarded another egg that sounded watery, turns it was another yolker.
Anyway, time for chickie pictures!

There you go!
No more pips yet(have to keep reminding myself that it's only day 20) As of now baby can shuffle forward and ate a little bit of crushed up grass. He still isn't walking.

Should the incubator be on lockdown now? If so then good, if not then oops.

Mine is on lockdown. I'm just not totally sure when day 21 is if I started on a Friday at 5:00 pm.

We moved our first two chicks (BCM and Serama) to the brooder, and have three more Seramas and one BCM that have pipped. Good luck and Happy Hatching everyone!

I have a quick question. If I started my hatch on Friday the 8th at 5:00 pm, when does day 21 start exactly. I'm not totally sure when I should expect my chicks to start hatching. (they haven't yet)

Today!
Do you see pips or hear chirps?

Don't worry too much. Chicks hatch on their own schedule and incubator temps can change time

Yes if you started on time for the hatch a long. A lot of them will hatch between tomorrow and Saturday.

Ok that is good to here, I have screwed nothing up so far

 

[MontainBourbons]

No pips or zips yet. I'm getting slightly worried. I have 72 eggs and none of them are doing much.
I'll update this thread if something happens.

Wrong, I have screwed something up, they were supposed to be on lockdown yesterday right? If no then good, if yes then mega oops. I was looking at the dates is friday day 21? I thought that sunday was supposed to be day 21 oooooooops
