Valentines Day Hatch-A-Long 2016

[TJordan]

TJordan, is that all the bigger the aircell was on your eggs? I was thinking the aircell had to be larger. When I got my 3 eggs in for lock down last night, my temperture stayed at 95-96. Will the temp climb back up to100? I had a egg turner in my Hov a bater. Thanks, Kevin

I didn't mark after day 14... Was sick and didn't want to chance dropping an egg. All set up for more to hatch. Fluffy Butt (as my daughter named it) is lonely and needs a friend.

Only one so far. She was tangled in the cheese cloth so I saved her and took quick pic. 4 more pips sense 10am but no zips yet.

Me too that's only 1/30 eggs set out. But I also staggered them a few days due to egg production. I could have hatches from now until Saturday.
Got some big time rocking going on. 2 more pips that I can see through my tiny little Windows.

Ok, I know how it came about, but I still have to say it...taking a picture of a wet chick outside of the incubator is a sure sign of incubation addition...its a no-no...

Oh I know. I had him out, untangled and back in fast!!! I try not to handle before the fluff. Even turned the heat lamp to me as I held it. My daughter snapped picture. Oh and

#2 just zipped.

Just did my day 18 candle and got the incubator all set for lockdown. 8 are beginning to attempt their internal pips. Seems that eggs from my flock always hatch a bit early. I've done broody hatches and incubator hatches, and it doesn't matter, they always hatch on day 19/20.

Won't be long now! Hope you have a great hatch.

I'm a couple days behind you then, and not sure what will happen since this is my first hatch from my own eggs. Keeping good records so I can adjust for future hatches.

The eggs are rocking and cheeping. Hopefully I wake up to a few already hatched.
