Twin Pictures (Micky)

[Tracy the chick]

Hi guys, sorry that was a typing error lol. Ive had temp at 37.4 - 99.3, i have upped it to 37.6 - 99.3.. Theres still no pipping, im struggling to hear as i have 8 marans at 4 weeks old in a large box & heat lamp chirping away. My mother in law hatched 2 ko shamo chicks and there a week old chirping like mad in another box. So i cant tell if its the eggs chirping or not lol....

Whats the matter with me today i dont seem to be able to write today lol. 37.6 is 99.5.

When mine were hatching last weeek, I kept my ear stuck to the top of the bator trying to hear what was going on. Of course, it wasn't as crucial as yours

Thank you sqwarkbox and delilah. Ive just showed my husband my thread and he says im getting upset over people i dont even know. He knows how much i love this site and have learnt so much so im not going to let negative people upset me. I do hope these babies hatch and if they dont i know i did all i could. Now on a happy note my sisters baby has just come out of surgery after having a heart operation she is 2 weeks old and all is well.

Please don't cancel just ignore the people who are mean and judgemental goof luck we will be waiting for the outcome

Tracy chick I hope all goes well and you have a good hatch. That being said, I need to clarify something, to all who think just because someone might have a different opinion then everyone else doesn't make them MEAN and judgemental, accusing someone of being mean for a opinion is mean, it wasn't to accuse or bring anyone down from their excitement. It was that I was stating a fact. I hope you have wonderful hatch. Michele

Tracy The Chick....I just want you to know I set all single yolk eggs, 16 of them. I got to lockdown last weekend and the first one pipped right on time..........and I killed all the others. I had started a staggered hatch so today I am in lockdown again. I hope I don't kill all of these. There are 12. AND I did an experiment with two of them and put them under a broody hen who was sitting in a feed bucket. I took them away on day five because it didn't appear that she was turning the eggs and put them in the incubator. So I'm experimenting with my eggs. I feel bad I killed them. It certainly wasn't anything I did intentionally. I did read a lot of information about how to incubate beforehand, but obvioulsy I messed up. I held my little chickie I had to put to sleep and told it I was sorry. I take full responsibility. That being said, I'm going to keep trying and hopefully will figure this out. So what if you meant to set them or not. Where would we really be today if there hadn't been great people in the past willing to step out there and try something new? I'm glad you posted and I'm rooting for you.

hens don't have to turn eggs all day long she mite trun them when you are not looking so you really can't say

No, the air cell looked bad and the eggs looked kind of stuck to the shell. You should see this feed bucket she choose to go broody in, it is tiny. But I took them away based on how the eggs looked -- and I put eggs in the bator at the same time so I knew the difference. My point was a lot of people are experimenting with their eggs and I was just putting myself out there as an example of you just don't know until you try!!!!
