I got all 8 cochins from the last hatch!!
I just put more cochins in the hatcher. These are bantam. The power went off for 23 hours Monday an there still hatching..
Thought I would add that half of these were cracked in shipping an sealed with wax.
lol I have EEs coming out my ears an breeding stock laying 20+ eggs a week. I'm not going to loose sleep over weather they hatch or not. I only have one Cochin so those I'm going to lose sleep over....
I set eggs to hatch every Saturday. Most weeks they start hatching Friday morning. Next weeks hatch will go in to the hatching tray Wednesday night. Its something like 15+ shipped large Frizzle Cochins (hoping for some that are barred) an the rest of the tray filled with EEs.
I got 3 long crowers out of my 5 shipped eggs. All 5 developed, 1 quit an one didn't internally pip
Heres one of the 3.
Only had 6 out of 41 eggs not hatch counting the 5 shipped.
3 quiters an 3 failed to hatch. My bet hatch yet.
I just set another group in the hatching tray. The 5 with crayon on them are my first try at shipped eggs. There longcrowers. The others are EEs an BRs
The hatch date should be this Saturday but the last two batches started hatching on Friday morning.
I had a camera go bad so the one on the...
I removed 16 so far. 6 EE 5 BR an 5 Cornish X. I had forgot about the Cornish X being in there.
I also got the brooder cam working for now. The chickens keep pulling the cord out of it. Guess it looks to much like a worm.
I had 21 hatch out of 28 that developed. With the temp spike I had I think it was a pretty good hatch. I have more set to hatch this Saturday. They were set after the temp issues so I'm expecting a better hatch.
Tonight the humidity goes down weather they hatch or not. About 120 other eggs in there to think about. I can still leave them there till Thursday before time runs out on them an I have to make room for the next group to hatch.
19 out of 28 so far. I moved them to the brooder an turned the brooder cam on. One solid white EE chick? That's a first for me.
Also did some helping while I was in there.
Just got home. I tried counting but didn't have any luck. Maybe just to tired? There were 28 eggs(I think) an 18 still to hatch..... I count more than 10 chicks???????? I need to go to bed.
I an going to be gone most of the day tomorrow so I set the server to restart every hour. That way if it crashes it will automatically restart within an hour. As long as my router dont crash. Maybe enough will hatch before i leave tomorrow so I can move the other eggs too.
Night!
