2nd Hatching Of The Season

[PhilH]

Well we locked down the incubator a day early.. I heard chirping so I locked it down last night.

Today we have one egg that has pipped & has zipped halfway around. We have another that has pipped. Looks like another good hatch coming.

I'll post pics later as they hatch..

Grats on keets. I just had 22 hatch, really early didn't even get into hatcher. Just started. Only 23 were fertile and only 1 failed to hatch. Mostly pearl greys but about 1/2 dz should be pearl whites.

Grats on the Pearl Whites..

My last hatch was 21 keets. I had 5 Lavenders & the rest were Pearl Greys.. They are now about 4 & a half weeks old..

So far we have ended up with 14 Pearl Greys & 1 Lavender for 15 keets hatched out of 20 eggs.

Not bad at a 75% hatch rate.

I'll leave the incubator on while I am in the hospital for any late hatchers.

Here are the babies..



Here they are running around..

All together..
