4th of July Hatch-Along!

[Chickadee7790]

Okay everyone, the 4th of July hatch is officially over Thank you to everyone who has followed along! I am so sorry to say that out of the last batch of chicks. There was one that didn’t make it out of the shell and that was #68 Philadelphia. But the others are doing well and I am feeling so blessed with such a good turnout.

Here are the rest of the hatched chicks!

62 Lincoln @oldhenlikesdogs Either a white, or very lightly marked paint chick!

64 Liberty 2 @oldhenlikesdogs Another paint chick with a small vaulted head.

70 Donald @Themellowyellows A lavender cutie! Needed a little help out of the egg, but is doing well now!

71 Hubbardton @CrazyForMyPeeps802 Another lavender

72 Red & White @Chickadee7790 And another lavender?!?!

73 Independence (Indie!) @CrazyForMyPeeps802Independence AND YET ANOTHER LAVENDER

And another huge thank you to Brinsea and BYC who made this hatch along possible with the Maxi 24EX Connect incubator that was the prize for winning a contest earlier this year. The incubator did a really great job with the eggs and was essentially set-and-forget!!! And I had set a lot of young pullet eggs also, as an experiment, and I had a better hatch rate than I thought I would, with that considered! Out of 51 eggs, only 7 didnt hatch, so I ended up with 44 beautiful babies from this hatch! Thanks again everyone!!!! Many of the chicks have left to their new homes, but maybe I will update here when I am down to just my keeper chicks!

Yay, Red & White!! What a precious little one you are!! As are all these babies!!

Aw, poor Philadelphia.

Thank you for hosting this and letting us all be a part of this! It was a lot of fun following along and I loved seeing all the chick pictures. Every hatch-a-long thread of that incubator I've followed has made me want to get one. They seem like the best. Congratulations once again on winning it and thank you for letting us follow you on your first hatch with it!

Thank you so much!

Sadly no poultry related birthday gifts this year. I hatched babies earlier this year and had goslings inside for maybe just a little too long... My family said no more baby birds till next year!
