This year and last years hatch...I had some really good birds that I was planning on taking to canadian national within the next couple of years but now I got nothing, I had 12 eggs in the bator but power was out and the temp dropped inside to bellow 50 so they all where hooped. Lets just say...
Im done...I lost all my birds, $1000 worth of birds gone...Its just to dang cold up here. I am so bummed tghey had insulated coops with heaters but when it got done to -20 they where all stiff...

Of course it is always hard to tell much from pictures but they don't look too bad, for older birds. As always with blues it is the evenness of the blue that is the toughest to get, and more important than the shade of blue
Also the more you breed Blue to Blue the darker the blue gets...

Almost always I have to help them hatch, otherwise you will lose most of them.
These didn't make it far enough to help them. I think they died around day 18.
Oh know if that is the case humidity was to high. I use only 35-45% humidity because I was having chicks drown on day 18-19...

If you ever want to swing bye your more than welcome.
