April 2022 hatch-a-long (non-Easter, and Easter welcome)

Here are the NN chicks from MT eggs, (They came out of 3 blue eggs, and a white egg.) the brown eggs here, and I have more in a different incubator are due on Mon.
Here we have 3NN, and 1 regular neck in right corner.

The MT eggs I got during 12 degree weather. I am still waiting on one of those, and one of my regular sized barred rocks is working on hatching.

Those NN are so funny! How would they do in a cold climate? I’m in Canada, we get some pretty low temps. Also curious about the rope in your incubator?

 

[gimmie birdies]

Rope is so the chicks cannot play soccer with the eggs.
Here is one of my barred rock eggs going for it...

I hear NN do well in cold weather, I don't know why. Yes pip is low.

Boy chicks move about when trying to take a pic...
here is my fav NN I know you are not supposed to have a favorite...

I hope I’m not too late, but I’m setting eggs sometime in the next week! This is my first hatch that’s 100% from my flock. So excited. All my previous hatches were from other people’s flocks as I had no cockerel then.

I'll be setting on the 7th. Excited to do another hatch! Going to run the incubator to test the new thermostat. I'm planning to really fill 'er up!

Day 26 - official lock down. I gave the eggs a final weigh and they look perfect. Now to sit on my hands and leave them alone. It looks like the duck is having difficulties getting trough the membrane to internally pip, but I'm crossing my fingers that it makes it. Time to get the brooder set up!

Nothing much to report on the chicken eggs. Day 5 for the chicken eggs and some are dark shell so I'll probably wait to candle tomorrow or Wednesday.
