15th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[UrbanHomesteadTX]

I have forgotten what temp chicks should be at. I have my brooder warming up ready to move them as soon as the temp gets to 80 F but I am not sure that is enough coming from 99 F.

First Week its best to have them at 95 F, then take it down 5 degrees each week until around/after week four... or until you hit room temperature. Whatever comes first

Checked on my broody Black Cochin. Candled the eggs. Three of the 12 were clear so I removed them. So she is sitting on 9 of which 2 were too dark to see into so we shall see.

I’ve been loving on everyone’s posts with their adorable chicks waiting for mine to finish hatching!!

Thankfully we finished on Sunday Only had to help 2 chicks in total out of everyone that hatched, only after they externally pipped. The ones that didn’t make it to hatch definitely weren’t going to have a good QOL so we are lucky to have so many healthy ones that were able to make it out of the shell

Congratulations all on the successful hatches!

Been busy. Final report is 14 out of 22 eggs hatched in the incubator. Seven of these were unfertilized. One died in shell. My Cochin hen hatched 3 out of 12. One died in shell. Eight of those were unfertilized.
