Congrats!I woke up to 2 adorable poults this morning
Oh, and, I was supposed to lockdown my eggs that are due the 10th last night. I didn't, I had a looooong day at work and was just feeling lazy. I waffled on it before bed last night, and told myself "it'll be fine, I'll do it in the morning". Well, I got up a bit ago, went straight to the 'bator, and theres a Silkie going for a slow ride on the egg turner. OopsieI candled real quick while I moved everyone to the 9200. Two of the turkey eggs are internally pipped and so are a few of my shipped eggs
They're in the hatcher now, and the humidity is climbing.
WOW! That is impressive!! Did you do the dry hatch method? What was the humidity in there?
BTW... my 2 Eggs ( Araucana) were goners- day 23 showed one chick that was fully developed but had his head tucked tight in wing. - No internal pip. The other egg showed the head up toward air cell but but no pip and yoke sac was half gone..
My next batch ( Copper Marans ) went in today- and are *supposed* to hatch out on the 12th.... Then I have Serama's going on lockdown on the 12th.... my LAST eggs in this hatching adventure.
I've decided that I need to stop trying... I'm starting to get a complex of a serial chicken incubating killer.
I really wanted the satisfaction of saying " Yes sir-ee... I hatched these babies out of my bator!" But instead I'm just sighing in sadness with each egg that doesn't hatch. I get a lot of Joy from having fresh eggs.. and I love my chickens.
I believe that I am going to stick with buying the chickens that I would like to add in my flock.... that is... unless some of these hatch... then maybe I'll try it again next year.
@fiset94 Where are you located?? You said you weren't in a high elevation right??
I lost all four of mine. Day 18 , yolks were not absorbed. Sad mothers day for me. One had a really bad crossed beak.
