Sure did! I thought the little ones wouldn’t make it. But they did!

I’m very happy for you! I participated in multiple hatch a longs over the last summer, and most of my fellow posters who had chicks hatching past day 22 were faced with a disappointing hatch. I’m so glad that yours were the exception! You might want to calibrate a separate thermometer and hygrometer and figure out what’s up with your incubator before your next set. Congratulations again!

Mixed Flock ya I’m nervous about temperature as I’ve ordered more silkies for February 1st and these r show quality (I’d like to show silkies for fun). Well hulk, Jingle and JoJo are still doing great. One didn’t unzip at all (hulk) and all 3 were a little bloody and had umbilical cords still attached and day 24 hatch so I’m thinking from 99.5 to 100.00 per another posters advice. Sure was scary and nerve racking and was so nice to have so much support and good advice. This place is a gem!
