Ok so day 19. I lowered the temp from 101 to 99.6. I know the thing says 98 but was afraid it may be too much of a difference and I never calabrated cause I didn't know about that.

We have about 4 pips.

Why do they call it pip and not peck?
 
My first incubator hatch was a success! Just hatched the last couple days, white jersey giant's


And a bunch of these

Five toed black skin white jersey giant white silkie crosses

Hello everyone, my family abd I ate newbies that just hatched 3 chicks one week ago. Today a friend gave me 4 more chicks. Is it ok to put them together. The eggs I hatched came from her, but she says the new chicks came from the auction. I am concerned about illness, disease or aggressiveness. Please help!

Quote: How great! kids love chickens and incubation.

So how many days is the longest you'd leave an egg in the hatcher ... I have 3 left on day 23? I think... There were some randomly stuck in and I couldn't see inside them they could be duds but I don't want to kill them! 25? Is my guess to pull them...
I think sumi 27 days

Done day 14 candle!


Death toll:
6 OE (I think, can't decode the marks on the bottom)
1 CBR
1 sapphire
1 brahma
2 CCL

Last time I only pulled two, so major culling was today.


Survivors!!
1 brahma
5 CBR
4 CCL
2 sapphire

a pip is when they peck through the shell

no???

We had a sultan once. She was the best most sweet bird. But got so bullied. Sigh.
love the sultans

The same reason a mouse is called a mouse but a lot of them are called mice and not mouses............no clue actually.

Renovations is a good word lol
Thanks, I thought of it all on my own.
