🍃August Hatch-a-Long🍃

[FortCluck]

Yep! I wish I had access to what you guys do though! We’re limited here, big time, especially in my area. You can’t find any decent stock of any slightly uncommon breeds and the more commercial hatcheries that we have access to have pretty terrible birds that I’ve seen. There’s a couple places in BC I was checking out but that’s a lonnnnng way for eggs or chicks to travel. :S

although our silvery quail are probably related way back when, didn’t the SSC come from Canada originally? Lol.

I have no idea

I have no idea

I seem to remember reading that Perry Schofield had obtained his original genetic group from one of the universities in the prairies. Lol. Not that it matters but it’s kind of neat.

Well I am back to try again. My first attempt ever ended with 0 chicks, so depressing. But I’ve picked myself up and moved forward. I now have 14 seramas, 7 fibro melanistic lavender Easter eggers, 7 lavender Ameraucana, 14 BBS Ameraucana, 1 silkie, and 2 olive eggers in the incubators now. All shipped eggs. Due August 13 and August 15. Going to dry hatch this time since my last batch drowned. Incubators are running dry pretty consistently around 32-40%. Heres to hoping I have a better outcome!

Have you tried using the weight method for making sure your humidity is good? You weigh the egg at the start and it should lose 14-16% by lockdown. Pretty good way to know there is no drowning...

One of my chicks in the eggs the Polish left looks like it’s absorbed all the veins. I’m going to let it sit for a bit longer than assist it.

I’m hoping at least 1 will survive. I can’t believe she abandoned the nest
