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

Nothing worse than chicken groupies

Yes, we are very popular in the chicken world!
 
They are not big brooders and the brooder plate is rated for 20 chicks.

I set 45 eggs and found some more with cracks and pulled them. There were some clears and blood rings so 37 went into lockdown.

32 of them hatched!

These are out and about eating and stuff.



These are hiding under the brooder getting warm.



This is the second brooder. The chick at the bottom left hatched last and is weak. I think it will make it. He has a bit of a sore naval that I sprayed with Vetericyn and gave it a vitamin drop this morning. Another tonight and I will see tomorrow how things are going.



As a refresher, these are from Whole Foods ant Trader Joe's fertile eggs! 32 our of 4 dozen set.
Not Bad!
Wish I could find some
