Why do you have them entagled in netting?

#9 Leghorn egg. This one looks like some dark spots on head and wing.

Keep them separated to identify. I'm not keeping them all. Have few people who want certain ones. And since I wasn't sure what they'd look like I needed to be able to know who came from what egg incase they hatched while I was at work.

Moved some fluffy ones out. They were running the incubator like a race track. Have the security camera on them. Too cute

Well, they sure look quite uncomfortable and I wonder if it might interfere with their hatching efforts/ability...

That's definitely the down side to hatching at home. I'm praying I have better luck with chickens than I do with ducks. I let my duck hatch 5 eggs this past spring and they turned out to be all boys This is my 1st time using an incubator and hatching chicken's. I bought all my chickens last spring from a hatchery and TSC. So now im addicted and that's what has led me to today lol

Me, too....ordered chicks last year in case my incubation didn't go well...didn't want to disappoint the grandkids...so of course ordered 16 chicks to be delivered on hatch day and 24 out of 25 eggs hatched successfully! Chicken math is a real thing!
