Ok, you all may think I am crazy, but I just went out to check on eggs and have two chicks and one egg shell empty. The interesting thing is, I set 15 and have 14 left to hatch. Had anyone every hatched a double Yolker? Never heard of such a thing. They are a good size and active. Well 14 more to go three are pipping. Day one of hatch day.
I need some help. I did my 10 day candle last night. Looks like I have 1 with blood ring and 1 quitter; still have 22. My problem...too much humidity! Air cells too small. We've had a lot of rain. Already doing dry hatch. Still at 48-53%. Can you mist like ducks? Help
Yay!!5 babies out, lots of pips!!! Woohoo. Go chickies go!!
They do much better if there are no hens. They still establish a pecking order (which sometimes involves mouthfuls of feathers!) but they exist fairly well together. I have two bachelor pens - bigger boys and little boys. Generally I will sell the bigger boys (or it looks like this time we will process a few of them), and then move the little boys up as they get bigger.
