None of my 12 eggs made it. So none of mine will count towards the total. It was my first time incubating and I'm trying again! I have made one correction in that I'm now going to use a separate temp/humidity gauge. I'm also only going to candle twice (halfway through and right before lockdown)...

I'm a little bummed. Today is day 21. It's progressing with no pips, no peeps, no rocking, no nothing. I have 6 eggs in. Two were questionable at lockdown and four were alive and moving. I don't have any stinky odors, and humidity and temp are good. So I'm hoping they are late hatchers...just...

I got this egg from my EE. :)

Is this a pip in my blue ee egg? Today is day 20.

I am so antsy I almost don't know what to do with myself!! Today is day 19 of my very first hatch and I am not very good at waiting for things. I tried distracting myself, but it didn't work. Come on Thursday!! Get here already!! I've got six still going strong!

Yes! Today is day 18! This is my first hatch and I'm so excited! I have 6 going strong out of 12 set!

Awww!! Congrats! First eggs are very exciting!

Maybe they weren't meant to be then.

Today is day 17 for me. This is my first time incubating eggs. I set 12 and have 6 going strong. I would've only had 2 quitters and 10 going strong but I messed up their humidity. I added too much water, right before I went to bed and forgot to check on them until around 11 the next morning. The...

I lost two more chicks today so I'm down to 6 from 12. My humidity was way too high all day today and I think that's what got those two chicks. If all the eggs hatch that are now in there, I'll have a 50% hatch rate. I pray that the rest make it.

Thank you for this! I was worried about it.

Oh I bet! I can't wait to get some! I want to use them as broody hens and just to have something adorable in the yard. :)

Out of 12 eggs set, 10 are still going strong as of Thursday. I might either candle today or tomorrow. Today is day 9 for my eggs. They are from my flock. My roo is RIR. I'm going to have RIR/EE cross, pure RIR, and Barred Rock/RIR cross (which I recently learned were black sexlink). I'm so...

I sure hope so. And sorry about all the typos; I was in a rush to leave my house and didn't do a previe. O.o

No these weren't ship tag these are ones that were eggs that my chickens laid. The baby was moving in it. Well it still be okay?

I set twelve eggs. Today is day seven for me. I candled them today and have ten with veins and two clear that I need to toss. I have a question though. What's up with this egg? The baby was moving and has good veins. This is my first time hatching so I'm not sure if this is an issue or not.

Okay. Thank you! I used my flashlight. Maybe I should buy an actual candler?

I set my eggs on March 4th. I have some pure Rhode Island Red eggs, some Rhode Island Red/EE eggs, and some Rhode Island Red/Barred Rock eggs. I was so stoked when I found out that Black Stars come from Rhode Island Red rooster/Barred Rock hen crosses :D I candled the eggs this morning but I...

I'm sorry about your baby.
