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

[mlm Mike]

Sadly, none of my set hatched. They were all shipped and a lot of them were clear from the start. Eggtopsy showed most of them were scrambled, probably in shipping.

I'm sorry.

I wasn't sure if anyone saw my numbers because I wrote a pretty lengthy "article" on my hatch the other day...lol

BUT...I had 26 hatch out of 34 that were locked down! (& 2 that were DIS and tried to hatch plus one that was assisted and died later that day )

Bummer. I'm sorry they didn't do well in shipping.

I had 5 hatch. Not what I expected, but they are so gorgeous.

Update on crashed incubator. Of the 21 eggs that we saved from the wreckage, we have 7 fluffy chicks that made it out of the incubator. 4 more hatched that didn't make it and a couple more that were peeping in the shell after the crash that didn't hatch. There is still one pipped egg in the incubator with a cheeping chick inside.

One of these little nuggets is a Langshan and two are English Orphingtons

Langshan


In case you forgot here is the original message: Chick hatching update. Day 22. Came home to the incubator crashed upside down on the living room floor. 14 chicks mostly still in the shells dead. Plus one undeveloped and 2 quitters that were grape sized. There are 21 eggs that we placed back into the incubator. Several are still peeping. We've got a rice bag inside the bator to help bring the temp back up. I will be surprised if any of these survive. Will keep you updated.

Just letting you know:
This one was the only fertile egg out if 9. Didn't even turn out to be NN.

Well after drying out good, I don't know what color it's going to be. I've kept it for now to watch it grow. I'll probably sell it off before it reaches breeding age.

Here's a picture:

Just going to watch to see how and what color it's going to be.

I'm going to give up on this project though. It had been very disappointing to me. Things just aren't working out.

I'm going to switch directions and work on other things.

Any and all are welcome to use this thread if you are working on a project like this. I'll post a couple if updates with pictures as this baby continues to grow.

Yes we got them, thank you for checking though!

I'm glad you got some hatches after the accident.
