UK Member Please Say HI

[ScottyGill]

Saying hi from The Wirral (near Liverpool). Just joined for some hatching advice - on day 20 of first incubated batch (only 5 eggs - set 6 but lost one early on). Anyway, hi to all my fellow UKer's!!!

Oh exciting and ... terrifying. That wasn’t just me was it. Am just stayed my 3rd batch. We incubated 24 last summer. 8 hatched. We are left with 3. This forum will be invaluable as it can be a rollercoaster ride. But soooo worth it.

Hi all...day 3 here and first candle all completed. We've got 3 that we are unsure of, 6 that are way too speckled to see anything, 10 that look goodView attachment 2125974View attachment 2125975 and one very strange looking egg that I'm looking for advice on please...pic attached. Thanks!

That's good you're eggs are doing well. How are they progressing? The egg you pictured looks like it may be infertile but I think that you could tell for sure by now. I don't normally candle before day 7.

Hi CCUK!
Nice to meet another relatively close by chicken keeper!! To be honest I’m not entirely sure, I think they’re just commercial browns of varying shades! What about you?
