Managed to get 119 eggs that are cooking! Not bad considering I was away for 10 days

Lots of cuckoo buff black silkies, 7 white silkies from my hen that just won champion featherleg at the Paris show. And a fair amount of white buff and cuckoo showgirls. Set my next batch for mount forest good Friday.

Just a little more then a week to go! Down to about 115 had a few quiters... And we are currently without power! But not to fear we the generator going. It just ran out of oil so hubby is off to get some but should be back up and running within 1/2 an hour.

Im devastated.....hubby didn't hook up the right incubator with all the eggs in it, they have been without heat since 9:30 last night to 10 this morning. I pretty sure all 115 eggs are dead
I literally cried when I realized

I wouldn't give up yet, it might have just slowed down the hatch.

Well after I thought all hope was lost for this batch after have no power for 9 hours... I just candles 2 eggs and both were alive!!!
I'm blown away and very thankful. Will candle the rest in a couple hours and let you all know how the rest made out!

thats great news! but id just leave the candeling until lockdown or after they are due. let them warm up. with that many eggs in there making a larger heat sink they shouldnt have cooled down a whole lot... Fingers crossed for you!

Oh my ,good luck. That would be very very sad if they didn't hatch, but they are further along and do produce some heat of their own.
