Any one hatch Brahma eggs?

[morganalefae]

My temp keeps bouncing between 37.2 and 37.6 Celsius and my humidity has dropped to round 36-45% humidity but I hear a lot of ppl talking about humidity between 30-50% is fine for incubation. Im hoping to get at least 2 fertile eggs out of the 9 I got. If this goes well I think I might try Silkie eggs

My brahmas always hatch between days 20-22

I have Buff Brahma eggs in the incubator right now, it is day 22 and not quite day 21 for some of them. I have one that hatched out this morning early, and two pips that I can see, altho the chick rolled the one with the pip around so not sure what that may do to it, There r about 30 eggs in the incubator all were viable at lockdown. I am crossing my fingers that some are just running behind. It is nerve wracking to say the least!

That's good they all viable. I got 9 and was told the soonest I could candle to see anything was today and 8 out of 9 are growing but call tell bout the 9th one it looks like something but not quite sure. Hubby bought me a bigger incubator and half a dozen lemon brahma's as well as some lemon mottled Perkins I think that's what they called lol hubby as the chicken bug now. Good to know they not really late hatchers.

I got 6 brahma eggs last year. I picked them up - not posted. Only one was fertile. It hatched on day 22.

This year I'm hatching my own brahma's eggs under a broody brahma and the first hatched day 19. Day 21 was meant to be today and she left the nest yesterday with the first 2 hatched. Good thing I have a back up broody.

Sorry only one was fertile but your Brody sound like a really good one.

I think the 9th egg ain't fertile or just could not grow. First picture is of my growing fertile egg and the other 4 are different angels of the one that ain't fertile or is a quiter. Tried my best to get as good a pic(s) as I could get. I don't want to toss it out in case I just missed something. So anyone with candling know how who can give a point in the right direction with this I would appreciate it.

Well...out of my 6 shipped Partridge Brahma's one hatched and on day 22 under the broody. One is better than none! 3 weren't fertile and 2 were early quitters.

Your right 1 is better then none. 8 out of my 9 original Brahma eggs have babies moving around in them one of them was a quitter after 7-24hrs of incubation so it was never going to grow 1 of the 6 lemon Brahma eggs had sap looking stuff weeping out of it by day 2-3 pulled it as I read those are ticking time bombs.

Had a pekin egg with a hairline crack due to sellers poor packaging tried to uh fix it with unscented candle wax but after 2-3 days incubation the shell had green stuff so pulled it both had no signs of growth for that time frame anyway so I doubt they would have grown.

I do have a few eggs im not sure about anyone know if these are clear or quitters? As I'm not too sure.

I had some that looked like that (5 of them) on day 8 in the second hatch that I have going on (Isbars & EE's). As they weren't damaged or leaking, I left them in and will candle them on lockdown day. I did place them on the other end of the incubator so I'd know which ones I wasn't sure about.
