The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

I couldn't stabilize my bator in the middle of the hatch.

None of my 12 eggs made it. So none of mine will count towards the total. It was my first time incubating and I'm trying again! I have made one correction in that I'm now going to use a separate temp/humidity gauge. I'm also only going to candle twice (halfway through and right before lockdown). Also, I relocated my incubator away from windows and into my garage. It's been running for 24 hours, I've let my eggs sit and come to room temp. I also cleaned out my incubator with a bleach/water solution. I'm hoping all of these changes will prove successful! I'm incubating Bielefelder, an EE/Rhode Island Red cross, Rhode Island Red, and Black Stars (Barred Rock hen and Rhode Island Red rooster). Wish me luck!!
 
Congrats to all that had a successful hatch. I'm sorry to all that did not have a very successful.

Wife just told me that both feed stores up here lost there chicks during shipping. I just sold my last hatch (34) to someone who couldn't get chicks in town. I guess I'm going to set 100 eggs for the April hatch. People calling and saying they heard we have chicks for sale and we're now out. I even sold 5 of my 8 week olds from my previous hatch for $25 each.

I think I'm going to need to build a bigger incubator.
