Mrs. Mucket : Quote: Question for those who incubate different breeds together: Do the chicks will stay next to their own shells for a while so you can tell who is who? Or do you have to be able to ID them by eye? My chicks will look very similar but I did mark the shells. I hatched my...

Quote: Lovely hatch! I set mine up in a 55 gallon fish tank and the cats and I could sit there for hours Gotta move them to the big brooder pretty soon,they are getting pretty wild.

My Spring chick hatch is complete! Set 56, locked down 50, hatched 46. All 5 IA Blues hatched: 6 of 12 shipped Lavender Ameraucana eggs from CrystalCreek hatched - 4 lav/2 black lav carriers And of course lots of EEs. 6 Cochin/EEs 3 look like this and 3 are a bit more blue. All splash...

Quote: Congrats! Most of mine hatched Friday. I had one more pipped last night that I helped hatch this morning. He had his twisted under a leg and had dried out too much to turn. He looks good though!

Mrs. Fluffy Puffy : I've had a very rough night. The power went off for around 20 minutes before I could get my HB plugged into the geneator. Will they be okay? It was down to 89..then went back up to 100-101 Then when the power came back on I plugged the incubator back in, in my room and then...

Quote: That's awesome! I know what you mean though, I thought I had an another day too! I was up most of the night adjusting the brooder, watching chicks and generally freaking out (as my DH put it)

So far it looks to be a great hatch. I've pulled 35 out so far. They were SOO crowded and squishing eachother! I had heat and humidity to spare so I took a chance and removed 25 last night in a steamy bathroom. Looks to have worked out OK since there are 10 more hatched and pips in nearly all...

So far so good!! I woke up this morning to at least a dozen pips including 2 CrystalCreek Lavender Ameraucanas and 2 Iowa Blues! The room was full of the lovely sound of cheeping chickies. How am I supposed to get any work done today?

I locked down 50 last night! I was so worked up about it I set up the diswasher to run last night and forgot to turn it on. My DH was really laughing at me this morning

Quote: That's too bad, but do you think it had a chance with a hole in the shell that far away from hatching? Maybe you just hastened the inevitable.

Oh good! Thanks!

I have a question about temps. The bator keeps very steady all the time and recovers quickly, BUT it seems to be running low between 98.8 and 99.1. I've never seen it near 100. Both thermometers I use are in agreement. I moved it to a warmer part of the house but that didn't help. I increased...

Update! I candled at 8 days and only removed 3 clears: 12 Lavender Ameraucanas from Crystal Creek - Setting 10 out of the 12. 2 showed no development, but the others look good! 7 Welsummer X EE - Lost one of these to a stupid fumble fingers Cracked beyond repair, I opened it to see the still...
