    I think something may be going around in Mid-Atlantic. Had a team member call out yesterday. Said he caught it from a nephew and it is going around in his household as well. Hope you are feeling better soon.

    We have the same incubator and we have had similar issues. The largest hatch numbers were eggs we picked up locally and we got 8 out of 12. All other times we either hatch one or two and others we got nothing. We are now using as Genesis Hovabator with 1588 for hatching and out of the two...

    DH had a lone Blue Wheaton Ameraucana hatche after the ice storm in SC. We were surprised that any hatched after electricity was lost during incubation. The chick he named Stormy was given stuffed Care Bear and a wash cloth to cuddle up to. He brought it out to the brooder coop after several...

    They are beautiful little peeps. DH reports the eggs he set earlier in the month hatched it first overnight. That would be day 20.

    Our girls are mousers. They don't have a chance when they are spotted. Catching one is the easy part....playing keep away can become a real rukus.

    If this helps, DH just purchased three Blue Wheaton Ameraucana's last night from a local BYC member at $8 per chick. I think the price is typically driven by the desire of the breed.

    It always amazes me how fast they start getting feathers. That was just a week ago. The second one on the left is really a looker.

    Thanks Sally. I try my best to get material that does not have a lot of red which can be difficult, especially if it is really nice. Those are reversible so if one side gets dirty you just turn it over...besides every girls needs more than one outfit......even feathered girls.

    Our farm in SC where DH is I am in DE for work. I did hatch to see how it would go earlier this year and successfully hatched 11 but 4 died. The remaining 7 were taken to SC by DH and doing very well. I was able to visit them last week. The death of those little fluffy healthy looking chicks...

    Final count is easy.....1 Marranduna Basque hatched out of the total number of original setup eggs. Only locked down 25. This is really horrid. I have got to figure out what DH is doing. UGH!

    I felt this way last year after three failed hatches. But after reading alot of advice from this site I have learned several things. 1. Ask the shipper how they package and don't be afraid to give them direction if the packaging is less then desirable. 2. A good seller will tell you how old...

    DH locked down last night because he had put more eggs in the incubator on the 30 along with the ones set on the 29. He was hearing chirps when locking them down. Came into work to find one Marraduna Basque hatched overnight. He is still hearing chirps when he left this evening so hopefully...
