Jack, if you get those eggs to hatch that I sent you after the PO lost them for 6 days, it will be a miracle. I can't even imagine what happened to them. One thing I do wonder about though is the condition the eggs were in when you got them. I had them packaged Sally's way & additional packing...
Me & the babies are doing great. They are really growing. Sorry I'm horrible about pictures unless they are outdoor shots. Won't be happening anytime soon. We got snow again last night How are you doing beautiful?
@Sally Sunshine Hi Sally, just popped in to say "Hi" and to give you my 3/17/16 hatch update. Started with 23 eggs, 7 were infertile at day 7 candling as well as 1 early death. Still had 15 eggs cooking on day 14. Came up on day 18 and most looked good, but had a couple that were a little iffy...
@sally sunshine well it sure looks like there was definitely 2 separate embryo's in this egg. One eye is visible on one side of the yoke & when you flip the bag over you can see the 2nd eye on the backside. In the picture the left eye is covered with tissue.
It was good at day 7, so it died somewhere between day 7-11. Sorry your having troubles with the site. Mines been my whole phone acting up- think one of my apps got hacked. I'm going to crack it in a bag & see what's there. Oops thank you hun :hugs
@Sally Sunshine Hi Sally, how are you today? While candling the tops of some of my blue eggs tonight I came across one that I could tell was an early death. After taking it out and candling it better I'm wondering if it had 2 embryo's. So hard to get a good picture of it but it sure looks like 2...
@Sally Sunshine Day 14 candling results 16/23 still going strong.
EHAL ~ Day 7 candling results all 17 CCL are fertile, 2 might have a early blood ring started, will recheck day 14. My 4 contributed eggs not fertile, so my total is 17/21 day 7.
Oh almost forgot, fired up my hatching bator last...
Update @Sally Sunshine 3-3-16 day 7 candling. Started with 23 eggs, had 1 Icelandic egg not fertile, 2 Chant/EExIce mixes not fertile, 1 Silkie early death, 1 EE/Ice mixes not fertile & 4 SFH not fertile. So I have 16/23 eggs left. I also added 1 Silkie egg to the EHAL ~ for a total of 19...
Your first message said perhaps lower & candle at day 10. After lots of searching & pulling out my hair out I'm horrible at math. I've finally figured out that my eggs that I've calculated so far are running 1 to 1 1/2 grams underweight for day 7. So that says I need to bump humidity just a...
Lower humidity more? Was only running 25%. I calibrated the humidity thingy twice so I know its correct. The eggs are day 7. The few days I stored these eggs for this set I had a humidifier running to keep humidity at around 40-50% in the room I was keeping them. @Sally Sunshine
