Yeah im done for now. Unless i build a larger grow out pen and brooder ill have to sell about 17 of these. Ill wait a couple weeks and load it again. That way when the next hatch falls i will have an empty brooder

Final count. 37/53. Roughly 69% and a vast improvement from my first hatch of 46%. Now, what the heck am i to do with all these chicks?!?

Thanks. Still got 10 or so in the incubator. Im gonna give them until the morning. Two of my rabbits kindled today as well. Both had 8 kits each. Its a blessed day

34 of 53

Thanks. Im hoping to see about 20 more when i get off work.

19 of 53.

We had 10 more hatch last night. So far we have 13 of 53

No, today is day 20. Kinda wierd. Thanks, im hopeful. So far we have three hatched and the same ones pipped. They just pipped and stopped. They still move and make noise, but havent started zipping out yet.

Well one just hatched and 12 or so have pipped. Maybe it wont be a complete loss

Lets hope. It was around 93 when i left at 730 am.

3 hours without electricity. Temp dropped to 88 and is rapidly coming up. Im gonna let it ride and see if any hatch

Power outage! Its 95°f in the bator and dropping. Power isnt likely to be restored very soon because of our rural location. Two and a half weeks of my life that ill never get back.

Well its lockdown time. Found another quiter. I think that brings the total to 45 left. I have only added water once and it took the bator up to 30% rh, but i have seen alot of smaller than expected air sacks. Maybe if i dont get carried away on lockdown rh they will be ok??? I filled the...

Eggs are starting to make a little body heat. Found the bator at 104 this morning.... i really need to get off my but and build a cabinet

Well....i guess its day 13ish. (Havent checked the calendar) I candled the eggs tonight and found 6 quiters. Down to 47 with a week to go

If i ever get caught up around the place im going to build a wooden incubator with 2 wafer stats and 450 watt heat strips. But for now the little lg is doing fine

Our lows have been in the lower 60s. I haven't taken temps at all in the brooder. I figure if they are cold they can move closer to the light and vise versa They are feathered out tho....well the 9 older ones are. Im thinking of moving them to the chick coop tomorrow and seeing what happens

Hey quick off the topic question. How old do chicks have to be before they can leave the brooder and heat lamp? Mine are about 5 weeks and feathered out (except the heads)

Lets see how i do with these 53 chicken eggs. If 3/4 make it, i might think about doing a couple ducks

I dont know a thing about duck eggs. So far i have hatched 7 chicken eggs out of 15 so im no expert. Lol
