Well, at least they'll hatch...

Great ideas!

Not one that I don't want her to poo on, but maybe I'll do it anyway...:oops:

Here's all the chicks together. I think we have about 4 barnyard mixes and 11 silkies. They seem so tiny and fragile! Here's my little giant. She (we'll call her "she" for good luck) is larger than the other barnyard mixes, and way larger than the silkies. You can't really tell how big she...

So I have 15 chicks now and will take most of them out within a couple of hours. One of the barnyard mix eggs was HUGE, and I assume it came from an older hen. I wasn't really expecting it to hatch, but it did and the chick is MASSIVE! Will post pics soon!

Love 'em already!:love Is the adorable chick in the container the one who needed assisted hatching?

7 chicks so far! Looks like 3 silkies, maybe 4, and the rest a dark-colored barnyard mixes. Hatch day officially starts in a few hours!:celebrate

Adorable!

Wow, it's only been an hour since I last checked the incubator, but already two chicks have hatched! One is a beautiful golden color, probably a buff-blue silkie mix, and the other looks to be a darker colored barnyard mix! It looks like some other eggs have rolled, or maybe it was the already...

Hatch Day is tomorrow! No signs of rolling or pipping. I didn't hear any peeps but the hum of the incubator is pretty loud. Last chick out is a rotten egg!

"Egg-citing"!

It's Lockdown Day for me! I turned up the humidity and placed napkins on the floor of the incubator. I candled them and found 5 duds and 1 that appears to have died around day ten. This is a great improvement as in last hatch (my first) I had around 5-6 die! So that leaves me with 18 eggs in...

Awesome! Keep us updated (that's an order, not a request :lau)!

My incubator is doing great! But I do have a question. When I did my first hatch we kept the temp at 100 degrees the whole time, but most chicks hatched a little early and a couple had splayed legs. After the hatch was finished I went on a tour of a Hatchery who said that on day 15 they drop the...

Yesterday I tossed in two more silkie eggs. They'll hatch a day later than the others but with chicks more is more...:oops:

The eggs are in! There's 22 eggs total; 7 barnyard mix and 15 silkie. If I get a few more eggs from the coop early in the morning I might toss them in.

Hey ya'll! I've been invited, but I'm sort of on two threads now (don't tell the March 2020 Hatch-a-long but I think I'll be more active in this one cause it's smaller)! Anyway, I'm started my eggs tomorrow. I'm using a borrowed Hova Bator. This is my second hatch, I'm addicted (my last hatch...

They think your their mama?!?! That's so sweet!
