I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for this wonderful Hatch a long. I purchased my first hens a little over a year ago and wandered across BYC. I saw this crazy Mahonri hatch a long and thought...Not this year, but maybe later on. By New Years I was anxiously awaiting the easter...

Well my hatch is done and I will be going to report my numbers after this post. I am very happy that I had chicks hatch. After 2 failed hatches I attribute these chicks to all the wonderful helpers here on the thread. I currently have 15 live chicks out of 41 eggs set. Don't want to even figure...
Wow, came down with a bad case of the flu that knocked me out and had 300 posts to catch up on. I know I have 15 chick. 4 of them are the purple from wolftracks, the rest I will need to figure out. At 2 today I saw one chick under my broody. Got home at 6:30 to loud chirping in the middle of the...
Cute pic! I will answer yours and you figure out my delema. Your orp is the one between chipmunk and black kinda hiding... Now I have 5 slimy blackish in the incubator... I need to know which are my mutt, barnvelder and two purple eggers. And I can't get a pic sorry lol :P
Oh no... I should have stayed awake...
When I went to sleep at 3am I had 2 in bator. At 6 when alarm was set I had two. A whole lot of cheeping just woke me up and there are 7.... Now what is what.... I am pretty sure I know the Icelandic and cuckoo... Maybe a barnvelder. But which 2 of those 4...

Was there ever any doubt Mahonri? Lol
Did anyone ever respond to my question about the hatched chicks rolling the unhatched eggs? If so I...
Well I have 5 out, 4 pips that I can see and a lot of eggs with nada. I am really hoping that for some reason my icelandics are a little later than the norm. I would like a few more of those.
Question... What happens to the air cell on in pipped eggs when chicks are playing soccer with them...
The chick appears to be solid black, but has half yellow toes. Im not sure on the color inside the egg, I want to say white??? Will check when I get home. I am currently at work and it is killing me! I know I have hatchitis, but I have to be here today. Housekeeper called me to tell me I...
Attention wolftracks!!!! I have a chick and it came from a purple egg! Only thing I have at the moment so hoping I didn't fry all it's siblings! But now that I have 1 I don't feel as if all is lost.
I'm done, left for a movie at 6pm bator was 99.2. Just got home 4 hours later and it was 93.3. I don't know what is going on but I feel like a chick murderer. If this one fails also, I'm thinking three strikes and I'm out of the hatching game. Crappy lg and turner soon going up for sale.
The STRESSSSSSS! my temps are going wonky for last two days 102 to 98. And I was so excited about my icelandics because they always looked the best and had movement. Now I did my last candle tonight and got the bator ready for tomorrow but the icelandics don't look so good. No movement and the...
