If you haven't already, I would open both up because the hatching chicks will raise the humidity. I don't like t help in hatching, but my humidity jacked way up to 83 last night, and now I have two halfway zipped chicks that are stuck by the membrane. I helped one out and may do the...
I have some photos to share-the light was not good, and the little peeps wanted to snuggle down in the sheepskin!
Here are 3 black tailed white Japanese bantams
d'uccle bantams-I think these are blue-maybe mottled-possibly black?
another d'uccle
and my silkie babies-no idea on the color...
Yay! for everyone!
I have 2 blue d'uccles, 3 Japanese, 1 silkie, and 2 EEs out so far. I have a bunch more pips-so I'll keep everyone updated.
You all update me too!
Oh that's good fowlwoman1! I'll have to look up red broilers-don't think I know them. Are they meat birds?
I just had another egg that was marked as a japanese come out a weird color. Don't know if that happens with them or not. So now I have a total of three japanese chicks out.
Now I have 2 japs out, and two EEs zipping, and 2 more bantam pips. It's funny cause it's only day 19 and my temps are not high. This happened last time too. I also notice that the different breeds tend to all hatch at the same time. Lats time all of my wyandottes hatched first, this time the japs.
Wow Sandra-that's a lot of eggs!
I have a chick out! It's a black tailed white jap. Super cute! I also have some EE pips and another bantam pip. How's everyone else doing?
I have some chicks that are peeping now-not sure if I heard silkies can hatch a little early....maybe it was late, I dunno I'm trying to get a second hatcher stabilized so that I can put my EE eggs in, but that may not happen.
How exciting! I've got to go in and get my eggs off the turner. Trying to decided if I want to do the carton method or not. I forgot to say in my original post that I have 39(I think) eggs due to hatch. I'm crazy!
Today is day 18 for me-starting at 12pm pacific. I have a variety of bantams in the bator-frizzled cochin, japs, wys, d'uccles, silkies, and some LF EEs. I also have 4 EEs under my broody hen. I'm to get some silkies and d'uccles, and anything else will be a bonus! With my hova1588 I can go all...
