Hi Raina, being the nosey monkey I am I've just had a look at your webcam.....it looks like a baby scan at the mo, which is very apt I think!!

 

 

Good luck with the diddy babies to be !

Thanks,

 

 

The incubator turns on & off to regulate the temp (scares the life outta me at night lol)

 

 

Now you mention it, it does look like a baby scan when it turns off lol

[Chook n Boo Mum]

Raina, having just seen your sleepless thread, is the incubator in your room? If so I'd move it, you are more likely to rest if you're not constantly listening for it to switch on and off...and evict the dog...the 10 yr old may not be so easy to relocate !!!!

 

I've mixed the threads, but you'll get the message!!

[Raina]

[teri]

Hopefully August 18th or 19th (My cat died August 19th )

really sorry to hear about your cat hopefully the chicks will arrive on the 19th so that you have happier memories for the day x

[likeabalalaika]

Oooh exciting! Inccycam is a great idea. I'll be tuned in on the 18th/19th. xxxx

[Raina]

Thanks everyone,

 

 

I candled the eggs lastnight and my nephew was very excited as he saw veins in 2 of the eggs (the 2 in the middle of the bator), i thought i was just seeing things as i was really tired so called my sis up and she saw them too, all the others looked clear

 

I'll be candling the eggs on Thursday or Friday to see, so i'm that we don't have an empty incubator on Saturday

 

 

My mum has already started looking for more just incase lol

[Raina]

Well it's day 19 and the eggs are supposed to hatch today so fingers crossed

 

Oh and the other Serama eggs arrived today

[Redwing]

Your inccy is the same as mine and I have had two pretty good hatches from it so fingers crossed for you

[Couperwife]

oooh, it looks like something is happening to the egg in the middle back (or my pc is doing weird things )

 

this egg hatching is exciting

[Chook n Boo Mum]

............well any news.... ?

[Raina]

Nope non yet

 

And we're down to 2 eggs now

 

I took the 3 eggs out that i was 100% sure about, and i was really naughty and candled the other 3, one of them that i though had gone black inside didn't it was clear (not sure how i thought it was black ) and the 2 that are in there now are completely black i can see veins and slight movement in 1 and not sure about the other, and now i've got my mum bugging me to put the 'new' eggs in the bator

[Couperwife]

oh Raina , fingers crossed for the last 2

[Raina]

Thanks Cathy

[Redwing]

Don't forget to clean the inccy properly and let the temperature and humidity get back to normal settings before putting the new eggs in no matter how keen you/your mum are - the high humidity and bacteria in the inccy at the moment may well damage the new ones

[Egluntyne]

The camera doesn't appear to be working.

[Raina]

I really need help now lol

 

I put the eggs in the bator today with the other 2, we e-mailed the woman and asked what day the eggs were laid,she said Thursday & Friday well it's been 7/8 days now and we've been out bid on all the bators (my mum said she'll still get more if these don't hatch)

 

The 2 original eggs got candled last-night just to check if they were still alive,i'm still not sure about the one but the other egg has bright red veins and i'm pretty sure i can see movement,but still not sure why the little critter hasn't hatched yet

 

Oh and i accidently dropped the usb part of the webcam in my dogs water bowl so i've left it on the windowsill for the past few days to dry out,will test it later on today on my new compooper

[Redwing]

The humidity will be too high for the new eggs and the inccy needs a good clean, you wouldnt want to lose a second lot if eggs would you?

[Guest]

Sorry the first lot didn't hatch, Raina. Have been wondering about your Seramas-to-be while I was away on holiday. Best of luck with the next batch.

[Raina]

Thanks,

 

I'm not going to bother candling the new eggs now,think i'll just wait till about day 18 then candle and chook ( ) the clear/died early eggs away

 

 

I'm currently searching for a couple of Pekin Bantam hens now, so if one goes broody i can use her instead of the incubator (Already have a coop & run)

[Raina]

i couldn't get the webcam to work again so had to buy a new one

 

SO, The incubator webcam is now back on

 

and i'm actually finding it quite easy not candling the eggs lol
