The Fathers Day Hatch-A-Long!!! The Last Day To Set eggs Is June 3rd!!!!

[crazypetlady]

Well this was my 2nd try at hatching 1st hatch along. I put 24 eggs in and had 5 non-fertile eggs  around day 9 or so i had 3 days where the temps jumped up to 103- 104 deg  i let the eggs go and started getting rings (death rings?) i still let the eggs stay in the bator and and ended up  with no chicks so far dont think any will hatch i see no movement in any of the eggs and the  few that has dark formations in them are small for day 17 guess better luck next time  what would have caused this the high temp?  will try again in a few days  thanks for the hatch along.

It even got my eggs i put in on 6-3 which their was only 9 of them.

0 of 24 or 0 of 33

Keep trying it gets better I can't even remember how many bad hatches I had, before I started. Hatching.

I just did a full candle cuz something was stinking

Out of 383 I pulled 33 shipped eggs. I guess that is not bad it's only 10% but it seem like a lot of eggs when you have to toss them in the trash.


On a better note the eggs that are supposed to hatch this week 28/30 look great. The 2 were questionable.

And I have 13 lav amers they were hard to see into. So I won't know until they hatch.

I had some BBS amers all bad and some BBS polish all bad (not from BHep) hers are all good.


Hatching Next I have

BBS polish
Lav amers
SLP
Blue sizzles
MFD
Silkies

I think that's it.

Happy hatching

Sorry BIg Red, learning to hatch can be difficult. Once you learn your incubator and have a successful hatch you will love it

What incubator do you use? Have you searched out the thread devoted to that model? ALl of them have their quirks, and some have mroe quirks than others! LOL

I use an LG and when I have room I am able to use qt size jars of water to mitigate the ups and downs of temps. My own personal Henny penny that I made has 10 quarts of water as a heat sink. Need to get the temp setBEFORE putting in jars of warm water. ANd then get t his balanced before setting eggs.

Hope you will try again. Can you get local eggs, unshipped eggs to work with?

These hatched a day early, I figured they would. I got two showgirls, one with a cute little bow tie, and a silkie. The Silkie is still working on waking up? It's finally opened it's eyes this afternoon. I am doing what I can for her. Here are pictures of my showgirls. One didn't make it~I'm guessing past day two in lock down.. So, three babies out of 4..hopefully!

A buff, and a white..buff with a bow tie


The white one


The little buff showgirl, with a bow tie..


You either can love em, or leave em. They are fun, didn't think I would ever want to hatch
them, but I am getting a kick out of them. The buff is soo mine. I have a white one
outside, with a muff and a bow tie..pretty cute..to me. )


I think they are getting tired of the photo shoot ~ just tired...
Yep!

I just put 4 out of 8 blue barred olive eggers into lockdown.

Had two eggs hatch this morning! That's it for my eggs, I'm all done for this hatch!

OMG...I am soooo in love with those showgirls! They are adorable.

So as of right now I have four Cream Legbar girls. There are still two eggs in there, but I can't see if they have pips..I don't think so. Once the last one is fluffed out I will move them to the brooder and clean up the shells and debris from the these four. Then I should be able to get a good look at the last two eggs and see if they are quitters or late bloomers.

Legbars? Were they hard to come by? Post pictures when they fluff up. Good luck on the others! I want some legbars!
