Who's hatching right now?

[JRNash]

What do you do with all the eggs, sell them? I give away my surplus at the office. It used to be one or two folks, but i'm up to 6 folks who ask me to include them in the rotation. I only get about 7 or 8 eggs a day!

We sell alot. But we also give them to older folks on fixed income. If I hear of someone havining a rough time we try and help out.

What's really hard is not shoving them into the incubators. I look at every egg and wonder what might pop out

My little NN eggs are in lock down. I hope I get a lot of NN's. When I hatched from Desertchick, alll of the eggs hatched NN. Most were Nn. Love that.
I have 17 in lock down, I would think I should get me some Nn's! Can't wait for Sunday, day before hatch day..pretty exciting when they start to pip, you get an idea of how things are going.

Awesome. I'll have to keep an eye out for you to post more pics of her as she feathers out more.

4 pips!

Hi everyone! I had a thread on the other byc on my hatch I'm doing, it's my very first time hatching eggs I have crested leghorn, wellsummer, and frizzle silky that are shipped eggs, and then lavender Orpingtons that I got local. Day 18 will be tomorrow at 9pm I believe. I have read thou that the bantam eggs will hatch early a lot of times, so should I do the lockdown earlier, or wait? My humidity I've been keeping it around 35-40 due to the air cells being kinda big on the shipped eggs. Thanks for any advice!

To me, it depends on air cells and development. If the egg looks all dark, and not much clear-ish area, and the air cells are good size, then they are ready to lock down. Sometimes an extra day is good, sometimes a day early is good. Wellsummers have such dark eggs, waiting longer probably won't hurt them. My lavender orpingtons lose moisture slowly too, so I'm holding them an extra day. Silkies do tend to hatch a day early though. So really, whenever is convenient for you from now until Sunday should be fine! lol

Ok, I have them in a egg carton as well, should I be checking for pips on those? I'll candle them tonight & pull out any duds & really start keeping an eye on those little eggs. Thanks
