March 2022 Hatch-A-Long

[Skyle]

I candled today and 15 out of 16 were fertile, plus one quitter. So there are 14 eggs developing at the moment. -10 days to the hatch Can't wait for the fluffyballs
I used only the two best hens I have for this hatch. A columbian blue and a columbian black. The father of the chicks is a columbian blue. There are 6 eggs from the blue one and 8 from the black one.
Statistically I could get 7 columbian blues, 5/6 columbian blacks and 1/2 splash.
Hatching is so addictive that I'm having a hard time to not trying starting the second incubator lol

Day 18 for my Ancona Ducks.

Candled last night & all 34 eggs that are left are developing.

Good movement & air cells seem appropriate.

It seema to be murphys law whenever I set duck eggs there's a power outage. Litterally, every, single, duck, hatch. This time though, I atleast know its so hot out they are still developing because frankly I feel like I am jammed in and incubator at 38°C and I'm developing into a little eggy fetus . But yes, moral to the story, power outages are perfectly fine during incubations so long as its only a day or two

Setting 13 Jersy Giant eggs today. They should be hatching on March 13th.

Should be setting more eggs on Wednesday as long as they arrive Tuesday.

I am determined to keep my hands off until day 7. In fact, Day 7 after my 16yo is home from school because he's interested in seeing the results.
