I have had eggs hatch on day 19 and 20 and what eggs are last to hatch are runts on my last two hatchs the last ones to hatch have always been runts or just lazy chickens but so far i have had success hatching them by the moon and playing my tape recorder of chicks and mama hens to make the chicks hatch quicker

Edit: I GOT A PEEP!!

That is awesome...

Well so far 5 have pipped, 1 bantam and 4 unknowns. I also heard some peeping and one is starting to slowly zip.

Well i have 20 more hatch days this year and if i hatch out 20 each time thats 400 baby chickens and if no one buys them then in Dec,Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,Jun i can sell them as starter pullets and laying hens and roosters

I don't even want to think about the cost of feeding 400 chicks to adulthood!

Only 2 more hatches for me after the current one. I think I've had enough babies for a while.

I have no clue. The lady I got this egg from has a big mix of purebreds put together. So this one is a mix breed, maybe

Hey maybe you can help me. My humidity spiked up to 77 after the hatch. Is this going to be o.k.? I did open all the vent holes
