Who else is setting... I wanna see pics!

It's much the same here PBJ, mine usually hatch 19/20 days, any chick not hatched at the end of day 21 is usually in trouble. And I candle again then. Often it's an egg I already marked as irregular.

I always look at unhatched. I now candle and make notes on the eggs and then I can see what happened with what I was seeing at 10 days and whenever else I candled.

I am now braver at tossing eggs. No more stinking incubators!

I do wait a few extra days and keep hoping something will look better in the eggs that need tossing....

came home from the feed store to 2 Araucanas looking up at me. Both hatched in the pressed egg carton but couldn't get out since they were pushing against carton. I cut the center cones out but maybe I should've cut the edges too! So cute, pics to follow when they've fluffed up!

All 5 of my eggs hatched

But the best part is that all 5 are BTW japs!!

I only set the white eggs right now, and only the japs and one splash dutch are laying white eggs. So it is very odd that all 5 are japs, usually they are mostly dutch mixes!

We just got home! I had quite the surprise waiting for me when I came in. Not only did I have 3 chicks waiting for me, but also 2 ?ducklings?!
LOL!
They weren't ducklings at all!
I guess they're RIR, but they are HUGE! My RIR chicks weren't that big... and mine lay brown eggs.
Shelley, do you have any pics of your free-rangers? I'm just wondering what these jumbo chicks will look like grown!
The first 3 chicks to hatch were a mille fleur d'uccle, a salmon faverolle, and a white crested blue polish. I have a pip in an EE egg also.
I'll post pics when everyone is hatched & out of the hatcher!
5 chicks... Yay!

(I wouldn't have been able to keep the ducklings, anyway.)

Do you guys think this chick will drown in it's own bloodiness?

I can see the beak moving but it's behind the membrane and it must br pippind right by a vein cause it's super bloody compared to the others that hatch...

Thoughts?

Yeah, nice surprise!! Are the faverolles eggs really pink or just cream colored? We're all learning that for eggs to hatch we have to leave....
