3rd Annual New Year's Day Hatch!!

Quote:
I think you should boost your hatching rate and shove all of your NYD eggs under broodies. The laying hens will find somewhere to lay- they always do. You won't have to care for or integrate, because the Mamas will take care of it.

Huge win.

Shucks. Well, we tried any way.

Laree and I will have to do really well to get us up to 36 chicks at this point so now I'm down from 102 to 59.

I'm thinking now I'll be lucky to get 20, but ya know, that's OK.

I always figure what's meant to be is what's meant to be.

That or it's the percocet working.

Well:

I did not do a real candle, but since I was locking down Pastrymama's silkie eggs, I ended up candling most of the Icelandics.

2- of pastrymama's eggs died ~day 12.

Almost all of the extra-large icelandic eggs were infertile, and I think I have about 15 left. The fart-egg had no yolk.

OF MAHONRI'S EGGS: I didn't candle them. They are all colored and I would have had a hard time, and left the bator open too long.

...buuuuuut: I did to a quick top-egg flashlight candle of the 6 swedish flower eggs, and they all seem to be developing nicely.

KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED, MAHONRI!!!

24 eggs. 6 of them are not written on, so I assume those are my chocolate silkie eggs.
