Welcome , and let us know what you get tomorrow . I remember you saying something about your weather being warm enough to incubate without the bator , so good luck keeping them from bakeing .

I have 15, out of 24 originally purchased Trader Joe's eggs. Today is day 19, hoping for the best!

Oh yes, it sure was! Back under 100f now thank goodness but heading up again in 3 or 4 days.

Humidity is yo-yoing too. Anywhere from 22% two days ago to 99% yesterday!

I have one lonely egg going into lockdown today. Only survivor of 24 shipped eggs. I've left it in the main 'bator as it seems happy there and the one I was using as a hatcher came with an auto turned I'm excited to try out.

Going to try hatching in cartons too this round. Never done it but I think I lost my CNY chicks to being tumbled so I'll give it a shot.

Will deffinatly let you know what I end up with tomorrow. For once I won't be hatching a day ahead!

Well, ummmmm, I have 36 eggs or so sitting here. If I go toss them in the bator, can I join ya?

Some were nearly frozen, due to the bitter cold here. So..... I don't know what kind of hatch I will have.

You betcha ! Sorry the winter finally showed up down there . Well , kinda sorry , you did do alot of braggin' about those warm days you had while we were so cold here .................................

I am joking of course , I wouldn't wish this blizzard on anybody , but alot of people sure caught one .

 

[kathyinmo]

I will never brag about having nice weather again........ mostly because I see no nice weather in the near future!

OK, they are in the bator. Honestly, I had some frozen eggs that were cracked. Some of these eggs were probably close to it, so I really do not know what to expect. Though, on one of my recent hatches I had written on one of the eggs "ice cold," (because it was) and it hatched! So, maybe there is some hope.

I was collecting eggs every hour or so for the NY hatch , but still found cold eggs needed to fill the bator after having to take off and do other things . I had alot of clears , but nearly every one was from one breeding pen . My CX cockerals just didn't get their job done .

Do you think all the clear eggs were infertile, or could it be because they were nearly frozen that they did not develop? I know I have been having 100% fertility lately, so this batch will sorta be a test on that. If these cold eggs do not develop, I am thinking it will due to being so cold.
