Oh boy in my hovabator 1588...I have lots...Lets start with the first set of eggs I got in the mail...6 blue/spash/black orps from western chick... then I got 7 Serama, 3 Polish, and one Golden Phoenix egg from a friend of mine....then From Serendipity I got a dozen Sumatra, and 4 WCB Polish! 31 TOTAL! I have NO clue what I will do with them all! lol
I have a mixture of Partridge bantam cochins, welsummers, Cuckoo marans, Silver and Gold duckwing Pheonix, and 1 Polish bantam egg and 1 EE egg! I am on Day 6 going on Day 7 soon and I candled just now...Looks like ALL 20 Have embryos dancing around vigorously!! This is my 2nd time hatching! Wish me Luck!!!
In one incubator, I have
18 button quail on Day 14,
a dozen or so Araucana on Day 14,
and a dozen or so Easter Eggers on Day 13.
In the other incubator, I have some scrambled eggs- I am sure. I have zero hope for the Polish and Marans and Silkies in there- Day 11. I started out with 24, and I believe I am down to 6 eggs. They have been dying/blood rings/no development since I began candling on Day 7. Those came from a supplier who took great care in packaging- the eggs were in cartons, filled with damped pine shavings. The cartons were then taped closed and put in the box with crumpled/shredded newspaper.
None were cracked but I think with the high temps that we were having during the two days it took them to get here- I believe that packaging may have contributed to oven like temperatures. Either that or the post office shook the heck out of my box (think kid trying to figure out what is inside their Christmas present)
And if not, I have no idea what is going on and why they are dying off.
