Tis Time for a March 2020 Hatch-a-long!

[hysop]

One thing I noticed was that my white eggs are a bit larger than my brown eggs. Would that have anything to do with why their air cell is smaller while the small eggs have a good size air cell?

In my area, someone is selling golden sex links for 3 dollars each. The way I see it, in my area the feed stores don't have chicks yet. I would charge more.

Well. I finally got around to candling my shipped Marans eggs that are on day 16. So. Many. Quitters. Out of 14 all but 3 have quit or are clear. Sigh. One now has an air cell and a fully dark egg. Another egg is quite large so there is a bit more clear space but I think it’s developing in there. And another I think must have quit really recently but I’m leaving it in just in case. I took the turner out and don’t plan on turning them any more. With my luck, one will hatch and be sad and alone.
I candled another group of eggs I have on day 7 and 3/5 F1 Olive eggers are developing. All 4 Flowery Easter Eggers are developing. The 1 Blue Marans Quit, as well as the Barnevelder and I couldn’t tell on the 2 BCMs.

This pic is all the eggs I pulled tonight. View attachment 2038787

Where did you get the eggs? I had a similar one with marans recently. Only 1 hatched.

So true. It's easy to forget that that's basically just an internal pip that went wrong haha.

I just ordered a butcher knife set and poultry sheers plus I ordered a ton of household thing I love Amazon prime

You got love Prime

2nd pip on the egg closest to the camera about 10:30. Egg that had the pip on the wrong end is now making noise and acting like he may be working on getting started. Seeing his beak a bit through the hole. Definitely more active than earlier. Nothing from the third egg yet.

What about you? It’s the first time I’ve ever received shipped eggs that weren’t double boxed. They were just wrapped in 1 layer of bubble wrap and just thrown in a small box.

I set 10 shipped eggs and 7 from my girls in the new NR360 at 3pm [email protected] and RH 45% finally. So hatch day is 3/21
Hoping for a good hatch rate this time

Just set 10 Cream Legbar eggs in one of my incubators on behalf of a family member (you know...since I’m the only one that knows how to work them).

They’re due on the 22nd of March!

First pip on my Cream legbars

I added 12 more eggs from my second breeding group last night.
44 eggs are due to hatch in a week.
My chicks from the February hatch went into the coop (their own area) 2 days ago. It's so quiet in the house.
