Average Hatch Rate Thread

[Tam'ra of Rainbow Vortex]

I may have some good stats to post in a bit... my broody hatched a chick this morning! Waiting for final count before I post, she still has 6 eggs, and isnt moving yet, though the peep is wandering around the nest box pecking at things. I am hoping this means she is waiting for others

Just hatched Broody Hens (shipped eggs), so Incubator unchanged....

Broody Hens
#eggs = 80 + 17 = 97
#chicks = 38 + 10 = 48
Average Hatch Rate = 49.4%

Incubator Hatchers
#eggs = 38 + 32 = 70
#chicks = 20 + 2 = 22
Average Hatch Rate = 31%

Overall Hatch Rate
#eggs: 150 + 17 = 167
#chicks: 60 + 10= 70
AHR = 41.9%

Should we start separate threads for other poultry?

Probably best to give them their own thread, I don't know if their normal hatch rates would be any different from chickens but it would be interesting to see.​

pax12 - You are supposed to add them on to the running totals.

I've done it for you - you've boosted the incubator rate by a fair amount

Broody Hens
#eggs = 97 + 9 = 106
#chicks = 48 + 8 = 56
Average Hatch Rate = 52.8%

Incubator Hatchers
#eggs = 70 + 335 = 405
#chicks = 22 + 160 = 182
Average Hatch Rate = 44.9%

Overall Hatch Rate
#eggs: 405 + 106 = 511
#chicks: 182 + 56 = 238
AHR = 46.6%

No problem

it's hard not to sound 'sharp' in type.

I just had a very successful hatch so this should help the % a bit.

Broody Hens
#eggs = 97 + 9 = 106
#chicks = 48 + 8 = 56
Average Hatch Rate = 52.8%

Incubator Hatchers
#eggs = 19 + 405 = 424
#chicks = 15 + 182 = 197
Average Hatch Rate = 46.4%

Overall Hatch Rate
#eggs: 424 + 106 = 530
#chicks: 197 + 56 = 253
AHR = 47.7%
