World Egg Day Hatchalong!(October 12, 2012 is World Egg Day!)

[cochins1088]

Only 5 more days until setting time! I already fired up the incubator to stabalize the tempature. This sounds so fun!

definitely gonna do this, not sure what I will set yet !!! .....I can offer a prize ...how about a large priority box full of eggs from my mixed flock....thread starter can pm me if interested..

Well, unfortunately, my serama eggs don't look so good, so maybe, if only one is developing, which is what it looks like, I'll add some Trader Joe eggs and be more in time with this hatchalong

Candled mine really quickly today, a fast look at them and several (I didn't count...LOL!) have distinct veining and some have what looks like lighter veining. I will candle on day 7 and then on day 14, to see for sure what's going on. These look promising though. Keeping fingers crossed.

I found out the other guy sent my eggs to the wrong address, so he got them back. He is going to resend them tomorrow.... I should have them Thursday or Friday. Hopefully Thursday.

Oh, that would be awesome, so lucky! I hope they work out this time!

Hello everyone! Just heard about the world hatch along and am very excited I have two mallard/pekin crosses in the incubator. One is due about October-7-9th and the other is due due around October 14th-15th. I may be a few days off but would love to be part of the hatch along. My mallard drake, Shamus, was born earlier this spring. I hatched him in an incubator when my broody mallard decided to leave the nest. I was very surprised when he bonded with my Pekin hen and they produced fertile eggs this month. I can't wait to see the new babies This should be interesting

Candled one more time before I keep my paws off for a few days (till day 10). I have 13 of 18 that have veining, some with super nice looking veins, some with less, but 13 of them have something going on. This is excellent! I am excited about this setting so far, and *should* get my other eggs tomorrow. I am going to go ahead and set them in the same incubator for now, but I'm going to give in and buy a second 'bator for them so I'm not doing a staggered hatch... just two separate ones.

Since my eggs didn't work out, I think we might set some Trader Joe eggs in the 'bator on the 21st? LOL Our white leghorns are actually quite sweet, of course they're only 4 weeks old, but we spend a lot of time with them and hold them a lot, and since I got home less than a week ago, my daughter and I have really tamed them up again quite well! Really hope someone will want the boys when they're older, as we can't keep them

 

[Aschenfire]

Yes, hang in there and set the Trader Joes! I am *fingers crossed HARD* looking at 13 of 18 Serama eggs growing, and 25 more coming tomorrow. It goes to show that sometimes it's not you, it's the eggs or the moment. I have amazing luck with the eggs I get from Beth on here. ^..^

Boy am I getting excited with the anticipation of set day . . and I'm not even hatching this fall!!! I can only offer a variety of eggs from my mixed flock of black sexlinks, marans, amercaunas, RIR SLW and other very good layers. I can pull together 1-2 dozen a day until they all go into molt.

Is there a going to be a count of total eggs set and number hatched??????
