I have egg hatching through December. 3 batches to be exact.
Light Brahmas, Jersey Giant (Blue/Black/Splash), Orps (Blue/Black/Splash), and Barred Rocks.

First batch should hatch on 12/5. Would love the diaper pattern if anyone has it for chicks.

Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Well here is an update and a question.........

Today if I counted right is day 8. As I set these in last Saturday morning(11/22). I thought I'd take a shot at candling as I have no clue what I'm doing. Of 12 eggs in the bator, I clearly saw 6 chicks with blood vessels (sp). I saw a couple of duds and some I'm not sure of yet. I'm probably a little early in the game.
My question is A few eggs had a mass floating around the top of the egg. A couple had a little (small) dark spot in it, but the mass looked like it didn't have blood vessels. Yoke maybe? I will give them until next week and candle again and see. Any idea if these are junk or just to early yet??

Thanks for the insight.

Hopefully, I will have my BBS orps tomorrow or Tuesday. So, I'll be hatching, too.

Grandpa - wouldn't throw out any eggs just yet. I'd wait at least till day 14, unless they get stinky.

I have 8 Wellies and 6 Cuckoo Marans due the 12th. I candled them yesterday and they seemed to be Ok. Hard to see in super dark shells really. Two were questionable, but I am waiting for at least another week to deem them duds. So if that helps you answer your question, yes wait and see. If in a week I see no development or it appears clear compared to the rest I will pull those eggs.

I also have 2 mutt eggs from us and 7 SLW due on the 16th. It was kinda early to candle them, but I did. Much easier to see with lighter egg shells. So far they appear to all be good to go! Their air cells were a lot easier to make out and I saw veins also.
