APRIL Hatch a long ......Anyone?

MS..i am in a hatch right now where the last 10 days more or less the temp in the bator kept going to94 when i added water and went to 122 twice!! Like you i though all dead for sure.. NO...
Late by 2 days but i have 6 or 7 out and 3 more pips! day 24.... over half tbe eggs hatched or are pipped.

New Guys and Girls....
leave those unhatched eggs in til day
25.Lower temps often make the hatch late.
 
I got my second broody set up. She's a first timer so we'll see. I'm a little concerned bc she's setting on 15 silkie eggs. I think it's too many and I was/am tempted to discard a few. She seems to be managing fine, I can see partial eggs sticking out on a couple but for the most part they're fitting well. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi Sweet I haven't been keeping up on the BYC very well
how are the chicks from last summer? how many since then? oh didn't you have a pox issue...how'd that turn out?
 
Gotta share a cute picture of my son holding "little peep" for the first time!!

About half of my cayugas are pipped but I am concerned. One of them pipped last night, first one, and has been slowly zipping. I have only opened the incubator to spray a little water to keep the humidity up. Now the pipped area has blood coming from it. Not a lot, but the cracks are stained. The duckling still seems to be moving in there. I have never seen blood from the pip before. Is this normal?

it happens...just keep the humidity up ducks can take a very long time to hatch...it probably just nicked a vein
