D'uccle hatching thread

[shahtir101]

so I decided to start a d'uccle hatching thread. All of the other hatch a longs are packed and this is for a specific breed. I will post questions and updates about my experiences. I am NOT an expert. This is only my 2nd time hatching and third year with chickens. Have fun and feel free to post about your experiences and your hatching eggs.

So I just candled my eggs today (day five) all 8 have development! They were shipped and came late so I'm thrilled.

Also I have and Rcom automatic incubator. So far I love it it can take the humidity and temp back to what you set in less than 10 minutes if opened.

remember these are my personal experiences and they may not be the same for everyone.

Day 15: candled eggs 5 out of 8 have development. 2 were almost clear and one had "the death ring"


No one else has posted but I will keep leaving updates
