The 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!!!!

[Cynthia12]

My hatching was pretty disappointing. I only had 1 duck (of 14) & 5 chicks (of 27)! Not sure what happened, but they were all alive at lockdown on Wednesday and dead by hatch day!

So sorry!

Well, the good news is I had 32 chicks hatch! I set 37 eggs. I have noodles for brains and mis counted, somehow, every time I candled.

Anyway, I left all of them in there until the last chick hatched. The bad news, for me, is that while I waited for that last one to dry, my daughter accidentally unplugged the incubator sometime yesterday morning!! 6 of the chicks died!!

1 more died today, I'm assuming as a result of that as well. Talk about heart breaking!!

2 ducklings hatched yesterday! Would have been many more, but for a power outage, am surprised these 2 made it.

My total hatch was one, she has a herniated umbilical, I put iodine on it, and blue kote. Letting her rest, I really hope she can pull through.

It's early for that many broodies!

With as MANY chickens as we have, I'm glad it's just that FEW. Heheheee
TODAY one of the Buff Orpingtons decided to join the Silkies and other Bantam Broodies.
In their defense, they ARE just over a year old now.
