One from last year hatch

Did anyone experience a power outage during a hatch before?

I have a small generator for just those times.

Does anyone happen to know if naked neck is a dominant gene? Lol...it just occurred to me that there is a chance for naked neck Polkies in my hatch because my friend has a Showgirl Silkie.
Naked necks look funny enough but if you throw in Polish genes this could be a very funny looking chicken. Lol!

Yes, one copy will give you Nn, a bird with a naked neck and a bib.

Well, I candled my eggs last night and half of them were blood rings. Not sure what is going on. Hopefully the rest will be ok. This did not happen with my hatch last month; maybe I didn’t do a good job cleaning the incubator? Feeling a bit disappointed.

I'm sorry! Is there anything different about this hatch? Eggs from a different source? Same incubator? Could the turner be off?

These chicks are going to be fabulous. Lol!
She does have a bowtie though so maybe not all of her offspring will have naked necks?

Right, might be only ~25%
