Just set 34 eggs in the bator... March 3rd hatch... who's with me? lol

[startingover]

I have 3 hatched. One that pipped and zipped almost all the way and then died?? I don't get it. No sign from the other 9 eggs.

sorry i have not been on for a while to update just a few minutes ago the 23rd egg finally hatched but not sure if it will make it it looks weak and can not seem to be able to get off its back with out help and at one point his legs shook like it was having a seizer here are picks of the 23rd chick and the 22 that are in the bin that i am going to use to transport them to my cousins in just a few hours since i hatched them for her but i think i will keep 4 of them lol that means my husband needs to get to work on the new coop lol

My final tally is 12 silkies and 8 buff orps. That is a 71% hatch rate. Not the best but not bad. We will see how next weeks hatch goes.

This is my first time making chickens from scratch! I put 35 in the incubator yesterday. I am soooo excited. The only thing that sucks is they are at a friend's house a couple miles down the road in their bator due to the inconvenient fact that I have no incubator........ I hope I don't miss too much of the miracle egg escape.

I do plan on making one anyone have any suggestions?

Well I guess these arent good anymore

My friend that is incubating my eggs for me just called me and told me that the temp was 120 when he checked it this mornin.................. Eggs need to be thrown out i guess right? 35 is a lot to lose for me. He said that he wants to keep an eye on it for a week to get a consistent temp of what it should be. The incubator is really cool its very old but has not been used for a few years... gotta learn the hard way I guess.
