12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[BesideStillWaters]

46/55 eggs hatched in 24 hours! Only one major defect noted so far in #46 that was malpositioned in the egg. The last 10 have some pips so still watching!!! 45 in the brooder and I still need to see #males and #females (sex link hatch)

Oooo what are your sex links? My hatch is RIR + SLW. (And some full RIR...)

Hatchday was 3/31. Two chicks hatched on their own, but one got stuck with curled toes and somehow ended up injured too, died within a couple days. The egg I thought was dead turned out to still have living chick, but it had problems trying to hatch and died within minutes of being assisted out. I don't think the last one should be included in hatch count.

So, 2 of 12 hatched and 1 survived the first week. Fortunately the survivor is doing pretty well, getting along with chicks from feed store.

It's nice that none of my 9 fluffy butts have pooped in their food or water yet though

This one has a little beauty spot on its beak. I think I'll name it Marilyn if it's a girl:

I forced the last one out because I just couldn't wait any longer.

Awesome!

The egg before this one was taking too long for me too so...I did what I say I won't do.

I know what you mean I don't share secrets either

Sometimes you never know if things will work out or not until you try doing whatever you can ❤
