Final count for me is 6. Nine were set. 8 went to lock-down. 5 hatched on Day 21, 1 on Day 23. Of the remaining 1 opened on Day 23. It died within a minute of opening the egg. Opened the last one on Day 24, it had died after internal pip. I noticed that egg shells were very hard to break...

Here are my results so far. 9 Set- 8 went to lockdown. 5 hatched on Friday, 3 still on Day 23. One has a big drawn air cell, I will intervene tonight and leave the remaining two on their fate. The only Legbar egg turned out to be a Choc Orp x White Legbar hybrid pullet. I am calling it a...

All 8 in lock-down as of 2 hrs ago. Kids have a hatching get together on Friday. Hopefully, they hatch on time!

Down to 8 eggs now. 1 of the Legbars did not grow!

Was out of town for a few days and DW and DS ate all the eggs in my absence (at least thats what they are telling me). So only setting 9 eggs this time: 2 Legbars (hoping for white) 1 chocolate cuckoo orpington 1 black mottled orpington 1 chocolate orpington 4 black australorp x orpington crosses

I think you are right about the incubator. It was in my basement before the lockdown and it may have gotten cold around the edges because its a plastic one. Since I had very few eggs in there, probably it did not help keeping the temperature uniform either. The white Legbar chick walked around...

Its been 2 full days already. Day 23 end in less than an hour.

Help Needed: I had 2 chicks hatch late, towards the end of Day 22 of my test hatch. One is doing great but the other one not so good. Mostly sleeping, big belly and not lifting its head much. Here is kind of how it mostly stays. I have force fed some Save-A-Chick electrolytes. Is there...

No worries! I get that a lot.

Actually, they are developing a standard for white I believe. BTW, I think there is a typo in your statement, it should be "in his hatch!"

Most of my Legbar barely have an air cell when they lay. It takes about 3-5 days for mine to start showing a nice air cell.

One was put in late so hatch date on that is 24th/25th. One Legbar has pipped but its from the wrong end. I may have to help it if it doesn't come out by the end of the day.

Test hatch still going on Day 22. 3 hatched- 2 more pips. 3 no signs yet Here are pics from the hatch. 2 are chocolate and 1 chocolate cuckoo. The chocolate ones are pullets. Any guesses on the chocolate cuckoo?

Day 21 is about to end. 2 of the 8 that went to lock-down have hatched. 2 more pips. Finger crossed for another sleepless night. Will be moving the hatched chicks to the brooder soon. Pic coming up!

I tested it on my hens after separating the roos and those are the eggs in my test hatch. Some of the hens lasted 14-15 days but the latest was 22 days. I have a friend who had fertile eggs almost 3 months after she re-homed her rooster.

Congrats! very cute! 3 pips for me so far no chicks out yet.

pics?

Day 21 of test hatch for me as well. No external pips yet but hear chicks cheeping. I have been up all night watching the incubator but I don't think I can sleep now.

I hope so too!

Thanks! I hope so too. Hatch day is Sunday so will find out by then. Hopefully, it just delays it by a few hours and nothing else.
