Today my very first hatch completed, and I couldn't let the day pass without expressing how deeply grateful I am to the community here on this board. The helpful tips, the educational articles, the humorous banter that helps pass the time when all you can do is wait... You all are amazing. I don't know what the hatch rate on my first incubation attempt would have been without you, but it seems unlikely it would be 100%.
Shoot, I still can hardly believe it myself. When I set those 13 eggs in the incubator, I thought to myself "If I end up with 6-8 chicks, that would be a really good hatch rate for the first try."
And now here I am, had to go out and buy another brooder box because in a few days I won't have enough room for all 13.
