Spring around the corner ( a long way around but on the way!) and babies coming...Have to feel good about that. I candled my Lavs (day 10) and the bantam Favs (Day 7) and we have goers so....

Ban - so sorry about the loss of your chicks

Sounds like you have things looking up, but I would have cried my eyes out too!
I have a shipment of eggs coming from Georgia that still have not arrived - wish me luck!
My 'test' incubation yielded one lone chick. But I know what I did wrong, I think. I have 9 more eggs in the bator now (day one). I need another bator (or something homemade) for the last 3 hatching days, as I will be staggering the eggs in the incubator. I have two more shipments of eggs coming this week (one from Georgia again!) LOL - hope they make it. This pic is of my little 3-day old 'test' baby! She is very sweet but lonely! I have a BLRW roo over BO hens.

I had 3 seramas hatch that came from Florida, it can be done! They'll do fine I bet. If you have a feather duster (or make one) and a mirror to place with her, it will help, if you haven't thought of that already. One of my seramas was a loner and she was sooo unhappy til the folks here told me a few things to help. They did thank goodness. I have BLRWs coming next week...

Is she and BO cross then?

We are finally finished! First hatch was at 2:30 am Sat. morning. Last one hatched around 7pm Sun night. Out of 16 refrigerated eggs we got 11 chicks. Out of 18 fresh eggs we got 12 chicks. So out of a total of 34 that's around 67% by my calculations. These little guys don't weigh a thing it's like holding a cotton ball! All are D’Uccle but mixed colors. I can’t wait till it’s my eggs hatching next weekend.

I love hatching in the egg cartons. I think it was easier on the chicks too.

Look at all those Millies!!!

Ban seabhag, once my 4th girl starts laying, maybe I can sneak off some BCM eggs to you...

We'll see how it goes. They're still not cooperating yet, even with the nicer weather (36°F here this morning!!

)

Pips in the incubator this morning have, in the last 4 hours, turned into 2 Red Sex links, 2 BCMs, 2 Dellies, with LBs, Orpingtons and Dorkings starting to pip. More eggs going into lockdown this morning, and then I'll be on a Wednesday morning hatch for the rest of the season.

Rikki they have hovabators at Animal Food Warehouse on the Palmer Wasilla Highway (closer to Palmer) They have still air and circulating air. Don't know about Anchorage.

Mrs. Ak - Thank you in advance about the BCM eggs...You are the best. Warmed up a bit today here also though we got about 1/2 inch of snow last night, the sun is shining now!

The babies are all so beautiful!
