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

[UThobbyfarmer]

It's day 3 for my Silkie and Showgirl eggs. I couldn't resist a quick peek. 8/12 are looking great! Perfect development and good aircells. The other 4/12 are much more questionable. One has some development but is behind where it should be. The other 3 still have very shifty saddled aircells. Little to no development on those. The plan is to candle again on Thursday or Friday (day 7-8) and pull the blanks.

Internal pip on one egg (salmon faverolles) in the Brinsea, but no movement or chirping.

The other 3 eggs are not internally pipped and I didnt see any movement.



On the bright side, my other BCM is zipping and seems to be having a much easier time of it that the first BCM.

I checked eggs on day 3 and thought... oh oh... there is not much to see. Only one or two where I could see something. When I checked them on day 7... I had 12/12... there is hope yet!

I have eggs due on the 16/17th that had a saddle. When shipped. Some didn't develop, some did. I still keep counting the days just incase I miscounted. but I still have another week+

Did you give it some taps? It could just be resting. . .

I just made a big breakfast for guests and cracked twelve eggs and had two fertiles. Maybe something is hiding out developing in my incubator.

I saw some of my olive eggs were fertilized and got excited until I realized they were a couple days old while the ones I cracked were yesterday’s and those were not. My husband has said he never wants to know if the eggs he’s eating are fertilized

Just saw the chicks were feeling stressed...breathing with open beaks. So I took them out as quick as I could. I didn't count them... but I have 2 freshly hatched chicks in the incubator... 7 eggs left... so if my math is correct that should mean I have 35 chicks so far. YAY

1 week and 6 days ago we put 22 eggs in our incubator.
2 silkie
1 polish (possibly would be polish and Vorwerk mix)
6 Ameraucanas
5 Olive Eggers
8 English Orpington eggs
We candled them last Monday and 17 out of 22 were developing. These were the ones developing....
2 silkie
1 polish
5 Ameraucanas
5 Olive eggers? (We couldn't see if there was a chick in there or not because the eggshell was so dark)
4 English Orpingtons (Our Orpingtons have been having some fertility issues latly because their so fluffy!)
They are due to hatch March 16th! We are going to candle them again tomorrow!

I tapped a couple times and nothing I'm not giving up on it yet, it is only D21.

I'm kind of wondering if they drowned when the humidity spiked, but I'm not giving up hope.
