Shingles is terrible. Couldn't sleep for 3 nights from the pain. I feel for ya. I wish they had better treatments for it in this day and age

I considered using the fireplace last night here in Jersey too!

Awesome! Lockdown at 25 days?

Soooo, I just swore that I was done hatching for the year. THEN, my new friend asked if I could hatch out some duck eggs for her since the incubator would be idle otherwise. Of course I said yes....but I have never done ducks. Are they hard? I don't even know the breed, they are large and white...

Looks like it will be just the two ayam cemani. Today is day 21, but the other eggs have no pips or chirping. I will leave them in since it can't hurt.

Still the same number of chicks from last night. No new pips or chirping. Not optimistic that the rest will hatch.....

I have 2 cemani chicks out at day 20. The rest are driving me crazy. I can't see any pips, but I don't want to open the incubator and mess up the humidity. Hatching is fun, but stressful!

Gah! I had my first pip at noon today and no progress since. I do hear chirping though. This is my ayam cemani hatch and I am on pins and needles!

So I need some advice. I set my cemani eggs on the 10th. They are all developing well. On the 15th I got gifted some gorgeous old English game bantams. Both breeds hatch early, but they are 5 days apart. Will this be difficult for lockdown and hatching? I dont have a separate hatcher....

I candled my ayam cemani eggs.....all seven are developing!

@bauerdog   AWESOME!!!! welcome back!!  I wish you tons of luck with those babies!!!!  Whatcha been up to? I have been checking in, but until now, nothing exciting to report. I actually won the ayam cemani eggs in a different thread on here. Twice! I have another 6+ shipping out on Saturday...

I set 7 ayam cemani eggs on Thursday. So excited to see these little birdies!

Humidity is 71%. The other chicks just popped out easily HOURS ago. Hatch day is fun, but stressful!

Ok. So I have 21 chicks out. I think two are DIS, but one egg has an internal pip. I can hear it chirping but no external pip. The first chick was out at 6 am yesterday...do I do anything yet?

Thank you! I need it to get to bed and not stay pressed up against the incubator!

Well 10 are out so far, at least 7 more pips that I can see. I guess I have got to go to bed and wake up to more surprises tomorrow!

I have got Isabel leghorns, rosecomb white leghorns, project blue duckwing leghorns, crested cream legbars, BBS copper marans, and silkies. 24 eggs in lockdown!

So excited! Tomorrow is hatch day! Can't wait to see the new little babies!

Thanks! I have been in high gear with the annual garden setup. Sorry that you haven't been well lately!

Thank you
