I just caught up after a busy weekend of coop building, congratulations to all the new chicks! I have to resist the urge to find more eggs to buy, I'm already over the limit of chickens I am allowed to have in my city and if I hatch I want to keep. My sixth graders came in this morning and...

Haha! Thanks. This was my first hatch and I was worried I had bitten off more than I could chew with Marans and OE. I was really worried because the Marans were quite a bit behind in hatch times. Carrie Here are eight of the cuties in the temp brooder I had in my classroom. @Blooie should...

I officially ended my first hatch, I started out with 18 eggs and I got 12 chicks. I had one blood ring, one I damaged while adjusting the metal bars on my Brinsea Octagon, one that zipped but never progressed past that and three that never pipped (they could have actually been clears/blood...

I left school with 12 chicks hatched, one nearly out of the shell and one pretty far into the pip process. Five FBCM, five OE, and two BO by FBCM crosses. Today was day 22.

Day 22, I came into 10 chicks (two BCMXBO, the other seven are either FBCM or OE) I moved the ten out of the incubator because it was so crowded I couldn't even see the other eggs, I'm hoping the humidity wasn't compromised too badly. Now that I've move the ten I can see at least three of the...

I have two OE hatched, and four pips! My students were watching number two (number one was out when we got there) and number two popped out 1/2 hour after the kids left for home. Silly chick. I had a hard time not removing number one all day! Carrie

One OE out and two more external pips!

First pip! On the bottom of the green egg in the foreground. We could also hear them cheeping. Carrie

I candeled my eggs yesterday, I've given up trying to candle the Marans, and just do a sniff test at this point. It would be particularly horrible to have one explode in the bator with 31 twelve year olds in the room. Then again, maybe I wouldn't notice the smell after all! Lockdown starts...

Hello! I have a mix of EE, OE, Maran and a couple BOxBCM eggs that we are hatching in my sixth grade classroom. This is my first ever hatch, I am using a Brinsea Advance 20 (18 eggs total). We candeled today at day 12 and saw movement in five eggs. It was very fun because I darkened the...
