I got nothing....that temp spike did them in. I'll try again next week and keep a better eye on my temps. Congrats to everyone on their new fuzzy butts!!
Nothing so far with me. Today is hatch day..but I'm not very optimistic that anything will happen. I had a temp spike of 109..I think it did them in. I'll start another hatch next week.
I had to toss 5 eggs and one was a STINKER!! My bator went up to 109 on Easter Sunday...so I didn't think I would have anything left. I may have 2 hatch out of 12, but that's OK..I know what went wrong and it's been corrected! Best to the rest of you!!
I candled tonight and pulled two quitters. I have 2 others that are questionable...but several more with movement!! I was thrilled to see movement after finding my bator at 109 a few days ago. We shall see...........
It's super hot and humid here. I came home from Easter celebrations to find my bator at 109! I candled and I have a couple that had movement. I'm not very optimistic about this hatch. I'll candle in a couple of days and see what's happening then.
I set 12 barnyard mutts last night. This is my second hatch this year. I find I'm ALOT less nervous/anxious about it this time around. I was constantly checking temps and humidity my first time...it was driving my family crazy! I had a 100% hatch rate and I also had lots of temp and humidity...

I set 12 barnyard mix today in my homemade bator. My first hatch was in February and those babies are doing well. Hatching is addicting!! I hope the 21 days fly by....

I need to devise something so I can let the little ones out for a while!! Haven't quite figured out that one yet!! But my big girls LOVE when we're off on the weekends cause they spend morning till night outside!! I'm seriously already noticeing a major difference in the bugs I don't...
I set a dozen today in my homemade bator. I hatched out 6 in February for my test hatch. I'm setting more because I'm much more comfortable with the process. Hopefully, I'll have a great hatch this time too!
Well, I went to our BRAND NEW TSC and NO chicks!! When I asked the lady if they were getting any she said "we are SUPPOSED to".....so much for my instant gratification. I'm firing up my bator and am about to set a dozen of my barnyard mix!

Yeah..I'm not going to get my feed there. Fisette's Feed has been there FOREVER and they are just the sweetest people so I will continue to get most of my stuff there. I want chicks..that's why I want to go to TSC so badly I'm planning on firing up my bator in a few days but it was be...
