Good Luck!10 eggs of my meat birds just went to lockdown.
First candleing done I'm surprised as far as I could tell and my wife was also inspecting I have out of 60+ eggs that I scavenged up after my flock demise 41 are looking like they are good. I know I need a brighter candler for the brown eggs. But saw life in them and that I thank God for. Best news is the onl egg I had from my only EE is alive!! And have 2 of my Dutch game hen (EE was killed my dutchie lives) so I'm blessed there for sure now the long wait again till 8 days from now for last candle and lockdown. I'm excited like a kid at Christmas time!!
Wow! Lots and lots of little birds!! What breed(s)?
My incuview, which I was using as a hatching bator, had a catastrophic failure. 3 hatched late on day 19, 2 hatched day 20, and last night the temps dropped to 76. I was away. My folks were watching the bator. My dad pulled out the miserable chicks and rebooted the bator. He went to work. I stopped at the house to check, and found a VERY cold, just hatched chick. The incuview said it was 98, my egg o meter said it was 73. The egg o meter was correct.
Thankfully I had 2 other bators running. I consolidated those eggs, and moved the cold chick and the rest of the eggs to the warm bator... and I had to leave again. I just heard that the cold chick survived and 4 more have hatched.
So I'm amazed how horribly you can treat the eggs, and they still hatch!!!
For the cold chick, it's shell is coated with blood. Is it possible it hatched before absorbing all its blood vessels?
Mixed flock of F2's.... Delaware, New Hampshire, Maran X's and (of course) Naked Necks!
What are your plans for them? Actually I'm curious about that for everyone who hatches. To sell? To add to the flock? For meat? To breed/make a project of, etc?
