Cross country chicks

[kstaven]

Had 24 (SDW GDW) OEG eggs shipped from the east coast to the west. 4 looked suspect on arrival. By day 10 it was obvious they would not develop. Well it is just into day 21 now and 17 made to day 21.

Just did a late night check and one is pipping. Here's hoping for the rest.

Yay! Isn't it exciting when you see that first pip? Good luck! Let us know how things progress.

Was concerned because none of the others where pipping. Then I looked at the calender and realized that the chick that started pipping last night was a day early.

For some reason I was a day ahead in my thinking. Maybe tracking too many sets of eggs. And about 100 more on the way.

Will break out the camera and then figure out how to post pics here.

So if you set them in the evening or late afternoon would you count that as Day1 or Day0? I have one pipping today but I set them in the eve on 3/9.:|

If i set in the evening I don't count that as day 1. this is a strange hatch. One over a day early one a day early, one on day 21, and some just starting to pip. So this hatch will be spread across 4 days anyways.

Checked the incubator and temps are consistant throughout. Used a second thermometer and hygrometer to double check the accuracy of the first ones and they read indentical. Scratching my head on this hatch.
