4/12/12 Setting Date--Anyone joining me?

Date sort Score sort
Uptail, please don't be disheartened by your loss. I looked into incubators as well and went for r-com suro. days 1-18 should be 37.5c and 45% days 18-completion should be 37c and minimum of 65%.(not sure what F) My 1st batch last week were shrink wrapped as I only upped to 55% due to batch 2 (shouldn't have added more eggs) I managed to get 2 out of shell alive but lost 1 after 28 hours. We all learn by our mistakes. I have already ordered a batch of eggs to put on when these finish.
 
Out of the 3 eggs that were left 1 hatched last night, the other 2 were dead without pipping. Not bad considering they were high humidity for over a week before due date! so out of the 1st batch I had:
Out of 12 eggs
6 were infertile (laid by same hen and my only white hen)
2 quit early
1 I dropped (stupidly)
3 made it to lockdown
1 dead in egg
2 shrink wrapped so I had to help 1 survived 1 died @ 28 Hours

Batch 2 out of 12 eggs
2 were infertile
1 was an early quitter
9 made it to lockdown
7 hatched and are doing well
2 dead in egg without pipping

Not bad considering this was my first hatch I have cleaned the bator and am waiting for it to dry before I put in My own Gold laced orpington eggs and 12 Buff Orpington eggs which I have purchased!
 
She died yesterday morning. It was heartbreaking.

We were able to find some beautiful orpington chicks about the same age yesterday. I got 3 to keep little fella company. Darn chicken math! I got a Lavendar, Blue, and Black
