12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[JaeG]

I candled but didn’t see any movement. A couple still have veins though, does that mean they are still alive?

There's hope if you can still see veins.

No idea on breeds but they're adorable! I'm glad you were able to help the little crooked one. Do you supplement with niacin?

Thank you. Yes I am supplementing, I am sprinkling brewers yeast on the starter feed. I purchased the hatching eggs so I am not sure if the person I bought them from supplemented or not.

10 in total hatched for me, but one of the chicks was a help-out and doesn’t look like it’s going to make it so 9 healthy chicks really.

 

[sekeyslaks]

Here are the chicks all dry and fluffy,and cute enough to kill. I am super surprised by how similar they all look my rooster has strong genes like his father! A couple had curly toes so don’t mind their blue tape boots.

 

[CluckNDoodle]

I candled but didn’t see any movement. A couple still have veins though, does that mean they are still alive?

Veins are a good sign that there is still something happening in there but if it's late enough in development it can take longer for the veining to recede like you see in early quitters. I'm sorry if you already answered this but I sometimes forget who says what in these busy hatch-alongs. Do you have a secondary calibrated thermometer? Late hatches are most often caused by low temps.

 

[LadyCluck77]

I got 4/6, so I think I’m going to turn off the incubator tonight. I figure an extra couple of days is probably enough to call it. Happy Easter everyone!

I hatched four chicks out of the small batch that I set for the hatch-a-long

 

[Rysktal]

This isn't me confessing that I already have more hatching eggs to set in the incubator, BUT, look at these chocolate eggs that they used to fill the two empty spots in the cartons! lol
