Im sorry ladies, I lost this thread so here;s whats been happening here: I had a broody sitting on 6 eggs for 10 days turned out not fertile so I got her 7 more from a nice lady down the rode. My daughter and I candled at day 9 and found 1 dud, 3 maybes and 3
growing (my first time hatching so I left everyone under her) Then I candled at day15 and had 6 maybes and one no but still left everyone alone. Yesterday I had to go out of town for the night, before I left I took Kay out of her crate and let her do her thing. I didnt mess but peeked at the eggs when she was off and didnt see anything. Today is day 21 and I raced home to take Kay out again and there was 3 babies! I checked the remaining eggs and had one pip. So now I have 4 babies! I leaving the other eggs for another day and see what happens. Any way heres a picture I got already.
I really dont know how you all do it with bators, Id was happy peeking each day I took her off the nest
Number 7 just burst out of its shell! I'm stoked that of the seven eggs I knew were good when I locked down the bator, all seven hatched. Looks like the final count is 4 black and 3 yellow/red. Going to have dinner and then will transfer them to the brooder and get pics.
