6 remaning eggs candled and back into a clean incubator, 1 didn't make it, so 3 in the brooder,pictured is what we hope is a Lola, came from Brahma but no feathered feet. crossing our fingers
After going to bed at 1 a m with 1 drying overnight, I had to help 2 out of she'll due to shrink wrapped, crossing fingers, my issue is them not drying due to humidity in incubator, as of now 2 in brooder, 2 drying,9 eggs no movement.stressed out here.
the adults get all flock feed, greens,grains,mealworms from the barn,whatever they catch. her last brood (10 out of 12 hatched only 3 girls) the person who bought the babies (5 months old and over a foot tall) was a poultry judge and he spent an hour inspecting each kid....said i was doing...
my incubator still says 2 days left.....my calendar says 1/19 hatch day....the first day doesn't count soooo still 1 day left? i have an egg wiggling!!!
moved baby to brooder, she is pecking at food and water, increased humidity in incubator, not hearing peeping and no pipping, no holes in eggs and now afraid chicks are shrink wrapped.... i have the farm innovations incubator with fan and egg turner, moved eggs to mesh and took out egg turner.
