I also think that the low hatch rates may be more of what I was experiencing: immature fellows. I have a bunch of pairings that are dudes waaaaaaay too unsure of themselves with older ladies. It proved to be tragically ineffective when the time came to candle. Not many fertiles. Then...
I couldn't resist opening the 2 eggs I had left to see if there where chicks inside. I couldn't see any movement, so I poked a little hole in the top, and both eggs died around day 18, around lockdown day. I didn't have any eggs hatch.
Luckily I asked a friend if she would set a few of her...

You wouldn't be planning on selling any of you double-laced blue eggs next year, would you??
'Course, if you auction them, I doubt I would win, there are some serious bidders on here.
I've been oogling pictures of your birds for a while now. I double laced birds

Those are in my post NY hatch due Wednesday. Yes the leghorn is looking good as are most of the EE.
Sadly, none of my swap eggs made it . I think I must have had a temp spike/drop early on. I started with 38, but now I'm down to 2 RIR eggs I bought. I hope they hatch.
An emu egg...
I only have 2 eggs left out of original 38. The 5 white leghorns that where still good at day 10 all died. I only have the 2 RIR left
hopefully I will get 2 chicks for new years.
I'm down from 38 to 7, my bator looks so empty
I was hoping to fill it with an emu egg, but Wolftracks outbid me. I had finally convinced my mama to let me bid on one and she gave me a small max bid.
I woke up this morning all eggcited to set my eggs, and what happens??? The power goes out , and what else, I have chicks hatching (yesterday and) today. Call the power company, power might be back on by 12:45. So we get dressed early and take incubator full of hatching chicks to mom's work...
