July Hatch-A-Long

bluebirdnanny · Jul 31, 2014

I gave up on the ones left in the incubator. Some were clear and after the power failure and the drastic change in temps 3 more days were no help to them at all. Too drastic both temps and humidity fell below 20 during failure!!! Re upping temp and humidity AGAIN probably killed them.

At least two hatched.. one just before and the other finished during outage.

Out of the 11 I locked down on Sunday I have 8 hatched, one pipped and I think 2 late quitters. Not too bad, so far, for my first hatch of shipped eggs I think.

That's a great hatch! Congrats!

Well here was July in a nut shell! I had never hatched a chick before by any method. I had two hens go broody and bought an incubator!

Broody Number 1: 1 chick hatched. But I knew the eggs were questionable.
Broody Number 2: Hatched 2 and I gave her 6 Light Sussex day olds. All doing well.
First Incubator Experience: 13... all total July live chicks. 21.

See you in Aug.

Yippe!

Well, I ended up with 21 chicks from the 31 that made it to lockdown. Apparently I can't count because I though 37 made it to lockdown lol All the chicks are doing well and are super cute
