I probably confused SiS with SS, and just didn't notice.

Thanks for the clarification... it didn't have poofy cheeks so I wasn't sure if one of my hens snuck out and visited the rooster down the road or what...

It will probably end up being the biggest chicken you own

My hatch is done (whew!). 22 chicks out.. well, one is almost out, I have a special needs chick 'on the half shell'. That one and one other that was sticky and might need splinting are still in the bator as special needs, the rest are 'lights out' and sleeping.

I eggtopsied the last three - I do it by putting the egg in a baggy and pipping the big end by rapping it with something like a screwdriver. That way hopefully any explosions are contained.

Two of the eggs had underdeveloped and sloshy chicks (I didn't take them out) and the one had a sack of brown goo that did NOT look like anything I wanted anything to do with.

I'll take a group shot tomorrow.. maybe you guys can guess what's what.

Do you know....you are the 1st to hatch a NN from me.

Wow!! The first! Amazing! Still waiting on the two eggs, no pips... I'll do a closer investigation when all pipped eggs hatch. I think there is 3 with pips.
Will go take some decent pictures now...

And what kind of bator is that?

Michelle, Chookschicks has a Rcom and she loves it. I like my Sportsman, but I have trouble getting the humidity up in it. Katy has the Genesis and she loves them. A lot of times you can ask 15 people with the same bator and you will get 15 answers.

I know

That's why I asked who's had bator failures, might help to narrow the field
