7th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2016 Hatch-A-Long

Right.
Hatch day is 3 weeks from set day. If set on a Friday, hatch is on a Friday.
Approximately 3 days back will be lock down but that isn't a scientifically precise time.

That's what I thought. I will lockdown tomorrow afternoon then.

So much! I've still got 32 going strong. Which isn't bad considering I started with 37 fertile eggs. I'm not counting the ones that were infertile.

Well I hope all 31 hatch! I started with 45 eggs but not all were fertile.

You can lock them down when it works best for you.

I will be waiting until day 19 for mine. That seems to work best for my setup. I move them from the Brinsea to one of the Genesis 1588 incubators.

I usually dont even put mine on lockdown i leave them turning but i do up the humidity

What do you all DO with all these chicks? I hatch for new coop owners and city coops that cannot have roosters and who don't want farm store chick days breeds or can't find room for those giant minimum orders companies require.
