This is exhausting & nerve racking waiting for these to hatch!!! I haven't slept, lol. They are still rocking and wiggling but nothing else . . . We had a storm that knocked our eletricity out for about 4 hours a few days ago. . . Could that ruin or weaken my hatch?

Nope, No coughing or sneezing. My largest concern is that I have chicks in the brooder and, a bator hatch due on the 11th. Hoping that she's not sick and that my flock doesn't get sick. They all seem very healthy, but the tread I was reading on Bronchitis was filled with all sorts of doom and...

Today I am going to try my hand at hatching. . . (First time nerves) I've made a homemade incubator and tested for temp control and humidity so I think I'm ready. I'm not sure what I will get in my hatch, assuming it's succesful , but I have an EE roo over laced wyndotts silver & gold, and...
