Who's hatching around April 17th?

Mine are due to hatch on April 19... praying our 2 1/2 hour power outage this morning doesn't ruin them... they got down to 88 degrees for about 2 hours....

I have in 12 Welsummers
6 Barred Rock and
6 Buff Orp
 
Mine are due this weekend, at least 6 of them are....then another 14 the following weekend. first 6 are red/black star mix and the other 14 are all mixed from Big Fred in AL!!! can't wait, he sent me such a nice variety!!
 
i'm due april 20th. i am hatching my own eggs. got 40 mixed chicken eggs in the bator and 11 pheasant under a bantam hen. when they start hatching in the bator i plan on putting many of them with the hen and pheasant chicks.
 
I have 30 eggs that are suppost to hatch tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed. It has been many years since I hatched any on my own.

Good luck everyone!
 
Most of my shipped BBS Rocks showed air cell damage. If any hatch I'm going to be lucky. One of the double yolkers failed to develop. One is developing.... Oddly. That's one weird candling result, very chaotic in there.

The first turkey egg rescued from the idiot broody failed badly - as I feared, her failure to turn and handle them properly led to a chick both deformed and stuck to the shell/membrane. I will be ecstatic if even one of the remaining seven hatches properly. Fortunately the other hen continued to lay and I have 12 more eggs in a friend's bator.

Some of the tiny partridge rock pullet eggs were fertile and continue to progress. So I may have my first babies from this group. Which would be cool but pullet eggs have hatching problems so we'll see.

This is probably going to be a rough week but I knew the risks going in to this group. They're going to need my help and God's, to come into existence at all.
