🎃October Hatch-a-long 2020🎃

[DallasChickyMomma]

I was doing a rare breed mix for the HAL but they came earlier than I expected and wouldn't hold till the 10th, so I am just going to stick them in the incubator later tonight. It's a great mix, not one egg is like the others. The list of what's there: Isbar, Blue Maran, Barbezeiux, Pavlovskaya, Golden Spitzhauben, Cream Legbar, Silver Laced Orpington, Quail Brabanconne, Swedish Flower, Silver Spitzhauben, Silver Deathlayer, and a Partridge in a pear tree!

Oh Wait, wrong season. The last is a Basque Hen.

so day 10 just finished candling the Welsummer eggs and all 22 are fertile and developing nicely. These are from my flock, which helps that they are not shipped. Also i am now at 4200ft above sea level instead of over 5300 ft ASL so I am holding out hope for a good hatch

Wishing you the best hatch of all. I had zero luck with shipped Welsummer eggs this year. First time I had a zero hatch. I'm raising a Welsummer roo now to take over this aspect.

I set the following eggs last Monday night:
2 Olive Egger hybrids
8 Ayam Cemani
16 Seramas.
The USPS failed and sent this package to TX before getting it to me a week later, so we'll see if anything survived

Glad we aren't the only ones with mixed up postal services....
For Oct 1st we had 6 pekin ducks and 5 silver appleyards hatch before the incubator had a heart attack, and the remaining appleyard was still 2 days off being ready(set same time) so I had to put it in a cup in the incubator with the eggs that aren't ready to hatch... and now the ducklings hatched early and hasn't even absorbed all its guts.. so basicly I sacrificed my 5 cayuga eggs from my extremely old cayuga hen. Sigh. Time will tell if they are still okay

Looks like Fox Fire Papillons eggs.

Darn USPS! They have been such a mess this year! Hoping you get a few at least.

Well out of 35 eggs set, one was infertile and the other 34 have made it to lockdown.
Would be nice to finish on a high and have a good hatch rate

Did you get the mix from Foxfire Papillions in ID? I bought a mix very similar to that a couple months ago 3 of the nine I got hatched. 2 developed right up until the end, but didn't even internally pip.
