I love questions I know the answers to…of course it’s YES! 😂

I would hand turn them, and possibly any eggs they are resting on as they can get stuck also.

I was thinking some kind of meat spot, too. I’m going to leave it for a little bit & see if it develops correctly anyway. So strange!

Anyone ever see a line like this when candling on day 3? I did a few candles, some were dark & hard to see and I saw a few obvious circles starting, but I’ve never seen something like this…it’s only day 3, so a quitter would barely even show. Ideas?

It’s a sign…

Agreed. The only reason to move it is so you can see better. But I think once it starts zipping you’ll see it just fine! Totally good to just leave it!

My bigger eggs were longer to pip also! The smaller ones seemed to be about 18 hours ahead this go round.

I always keep my lockdown humidity at around 60%. Maybe it was too low?

How many can you fit in the kebonnix if you double stack?

I fit 30 in the 360. It wasn’t comfortable and I had to auto-turn the top group. But 25 hatched lol.

Agreed! How fun! For better, or worse, for richer & poorer. More chicks is better for you & worse for him, you’ll be rich with chicken math and poor with feed & coop costs. 😂 He made the vow! lol

We had a big storm go through and everything is closed. Oh darn, I got to spend all day playing with the chicks before they leave tomorrow! 😂

Same thing. It didn’t affect anything!

Have you candled them?

I know someone mentioned Silkies, but my Faverolles (feathered legs) has 5 toes, and I think Dorkings do too! As far as all black chicks, silkies can be all black, of course Cemanis, and I think Mystic Onyx hybrid from Hopvers is also all black. Your chicks are beautiful and quite the variety!

I think the hatch a long allows a few days on either side…if you can wait til Thurs that should be close enough! But don’t risk your eggs, just do what’s best for you!

My hatch is officially done! 25 new babies! I cleaned out the incubator (& bought a second…tee-hee!) and will set another bunch on Fri or Sat (or both!) New bator is supposed to arrive Fri, so i May wait til Sat for that group so I can run it for a few hours.

Does this one look ok to move? 5 more hatched last night and I was going to move them all this morning before work

I think I’ve seen people put those chicks in a soup mug lined with paper towels, so they can stay still and absorb whatever didn’t get absorbed. But I personally have no experience with that. Is there any old posts that talk about something similar?
