    Bread/Pastry Themed Hatch-a-long!

    I did a quick candle today to pull the clears out, and check on the others after the power outage. Sadly Muffin quit :( So, I’ve got 16 happy embryos. Which is quite a bit lower than 20, but that’s okay. Can’t really do anything about clear eggs - can’t make something out of nothing! But I’m...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Wow, got two eggs from our 12 year old hen today (well she laid the other one yesterday)! I’m telling you I wish I could have hatched from her in her prime. I cannot believe this bird is still alive, healthy, and laying eggs! Are they odd shaped? Yeah, and the shells are weird, but wow! I don’t...

    ANOTHER power outage!!! UGH! These only happen when I’m incubating eggs, I swear!! My husband wrapped the incubator in my 0 degree down sleeping bag so I’m really hoping that will keep them warm. They will have it back on after 2 hours at the latest and I’m really hoping it’s sooner 😞 it’s...

    Bread/Pastry Themed Hatch-a-long!

    I candled last night because I was a little eager and here are the results! I was surprised to have 3 clears in the bunch - that’s pretty rare for my birds but that’s okay. Posting in black and white because the pictures were a little hard to tell without it. 1: Brioche @WhatsUpDuck growing...

    Mrs. Viss' Classroom Hatch-a-Long!

    Honestly, I never worried about the incubator on the weekends. As long as school personnel know not to unplug the incubator, everything should be fine! The only thing to be concerned about is when lockdown begins, as the humidity will need to be increased to 65%-75% on day 18 and eggs need to...

    I know, amazing to think how much bigger that embryo will be in just 3 more days!

    Open Contest Egg Candling Photo Contest—17th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

    Entry 4!! Couldn’t help myself. Candled today (day 4ish - I set the eggs Saturday evening and it’s Wed?) on my batch I’m hatching now. This is my first time having a white egg layer in my flock, and it is SO not helping my candling addiction! I’ve literally candled so many times but I’m just...

    Bread/Pastry Themed Hatch-a-long!

    Ok… I am SO not good at sitting on my hands!!! I only candled one, because I’ve been shining my candler through the plastic every day just to see if I can see the start of anything on my white eggs. Well, I did. So then, I grabbed it and candled it very quickly and gently. Just never ceases to...
