Yesterday was hatch day. I had 2 sets of chicks in the incubators. One set of 6 eggs from my flock that are RIR and the other set of 13 shipped silkie eggs from the West Coast. As of today, all of mine have hatched, even a porous one that I wasn't sure of. Of the 13 shipped eggs (i got 18 but only 13 made it past day 7 to be under the light), 5 have hatched, with 1 more that has pipped. I kept my incubator temp closer to 100 and humidity 45% until the last 3 days where it went up to 65-70%. My hatch rate is not great but I am happy. I know how hard it is to hatch at this elevation from sea level and the first set of eggs had a 0 hatch rate.
That was a GREAT video. I had never seen a chick hatch before. Amazing.
Funny thing. While I was watching this (I don't get great sound from my laptop, and the buffer takes forever) I was watching a program on PBS about all the cocatiels in Australia. I kept looking at my laptop saying I can't believe it, it sounds like the sound from my TV is coming through my laptop. What an amazing sound distortion. I knew it couldn't be your newborns making that noise, and I'd been listening in earlier in case you were talking us through the hatch. I finally muted my TV to find that you have some kind of screeching bird in the background. LOL, even my lousy laptop got good sound out of your bird.
