Congrats!!! That's a great hatch! Aren't the personalities such a riot? Better than TV!

Congrats! I was wondering how things were going with your hatch. Boy, little chicky looks tired! for the rest of your hatch!

Adorable! Guess I better get building a bigger brooder for my week and a half week olds! That's a nice set up! Wonder if I can modify it for my living room.... sure I can!

Mine have done that. Once they start eating and drinking it goes to normal. Haven't had any problems so far!

Disclaimer: I've done a whole 2 hatches ever, both in the last couple weeks. I will admit to opening the bator to tweak humidity, even in my Minis, because when I filled both wells the humidity shot up to 80+% and I panicked. It probably depends on your bator too, how fast it gets back up to...

Good luck and Congrats to all the hatching going on today!!! My next batch locks down on Sun so isn't a Feb HAL group. The base-jumping seven from Feb are playing some sort of weird kick-boxing/rugby game with a piece of parsley. Well 6 of them are, the other one seems to be cheerleading...

Glad they're doing well!! Been wondering. Crash aside I liked how you had your incubator/brooder cage set up. Might have to do that for the newbies. And definitely should be putting their food in a box lid like that!!! Tho' I think my little guys are just naturally messy. : )

Let it ride. Chicks have their own schedule to follow! Good luck!

Noooo, just let your mind focus on work and the day will fly by! Then you get home to chicks! And hopefully a hatcher to watch. Good luck! Hope all goes well!!!!

Unless you can't count like me, and lockdown late by a day or two. Then the chicks are there before you know it! Or are really ready for it.... : )

Yes!!

Awesome Lisa! Love the wine idea. Will have to remember that if I ever get to actually see mine hatch!

OK, not really funny but.... ya it kind of is! Don't worry, karma will come back to me for laughing!

So far so good. They're exactly 7 days older than she is. It helps that she's full of attitude and has the biggest voice of the whole group to complain and tattle with! It was an overly enthusiastic newbie mistake to replace a clear egg at day 7 with her egg. Um, different hatch dates, only...

Congrats!! Yep, sometimes they pop right out while you're not looking! What did you set again, I think I read it but...

Sorry about the run on sentences! I do know what the '.' key is I swear!

Oh great! I put the solo chick who hatched today into the brooder to see if she'd be okay while I was here to monitor (day off). One NJ male came up to peck her, she gave it right back in spades! She's mastered the hot plate, one of the waterers, and the homemade stick-your-head-in-the-hole...

Aww, I'm so sorry. Poor chick, but poor daughter and you too! Accidents happen. No that that helps much.

Yep! Not sure what I was thinking, all my adults have square perches. Think I saw a cool tote-brooder with built in round perches and it stuck in my head. Just wedged a 1" flyball slat (dog sport) into some notches in the tote - instant perch! Tho' they're still pretty keen on the whole base...

Awww, too cute. What are you using for a roost? Can't quite make it out. I had plans for a fancy dowel set up but have only gotten as far as getting some 4' dowel rods... I've got plenty of lumber parts in the barn tho', wondering if there are square edges on what you've got there.
