I wil PM you also, but I had a dismal 4/20 hatch for my official Mother's Day group. I had some nasty temp swings for some reason and I am afraid the other 16 got fried. We had outside temps that varied 20 degrees in a day so that may have been part of it. I wanted to cry.

BUT, the great news is that the hatch I have happening right now has gorgeous little Mille Fleur Leghorns (from Cheryl Cohen's beauties) pipping and popping out everywhere. I will try to get some pictures when I get home. They are adorable babies smile.png

Well, somehow there was one... not sure what happened with the others, they were rocking and rolling and never even pipped, it is so heartbreatking. I don't know what I did wrong.

Somehow this little one made it out... my lonley Buckeye chick.

So incubator one 1/16 = not even a 1% hatch rate... let's see what incubator 2 does, due tomorrow. *heavy sigh*

Recheck your math--1/16 is far better than 1% !!!  I just had a 0/7 hatch. My first zero hatch, so I know how you feel.

think of it this way.. if the temps are the same... why not?.. they are just going from one warm place to another... it's no different than removing eggs to weigh them or to candle them


Thank you!   Tomorrow!   pop.gif
