Y'all were very close! 43 there's a couple small ones :/ I guess they hide well lol I really Thought i was going to have a hatch full of speckled sussex. The marans is doing too much 😂 he's not even lead Rooster 🐓
Thats a good eye! My marans Roo is apparently 3x more active than I thought he was lol. There's little black chicks everywhere! Im guessing hiding under the rest of them lol. They kind of clump together too.
Yeah I've definitely got to get a better counting system than the non-existent one I have lol. I finally had to pull them all out & count. Now to start the keep pile & find the rest of these littles a new home lol.
I haven't had much experience with crosses lol. I'm sure loving some of these cool little ones though. I've got a marans roo, a sussex roo & a cream legbar roo. I thought my sussex was the most active and goodness was I wrong. 85% of these babies look like marans babies. There's one baby that...
Lock down last night. Everyone looks good except 3 or 4. This will be the most chicks I've ever hatched in one go. So egg-cited 🤣 to see what my crosses look like! Speaking of that, I've got an array of breeds in my collection lol, Whats your favorite cross?

They all seem to be along the same stage in development. I think next time I hatch in this one I'll leave a few spots empty like a sensible person lol. That way I can rotate in & out of the center. I really was going to get rid of this incubator. I just might keep it thanks to yall!
I candled last night & I sure do hope I can sale these chicks lol. (If not they'll just have to stay here lol, nobody leaves chickees in the corner 🤣🤣🤣) but out of 64 I took out 3 non developed ones, one blood ring & 1 rotten one. Even in the little giant incubator i thought I was having a hard...
This is what they looked like when I found them. I've never had a broody hatch, but all of my incubator hatches have blood marks/ veins on the inside of the shells. I really think she ate them :/
