April Hatch Challenge....

Well dont feel bad. Out of the first 9 I put in the hatcher, I got 2.

Out of the second set of 9 I put in the hatcher, I got 1.

I've just set another batch of 9 in there last night which are due to start hatching tomorrow.

So right now I am at a 8.1% hatch rate.... LOL

My eggs under my broody began to hatch today. So far 5 out of 6 have hatched 1 is not due till tomorrow so I shall see tomorrow. I have 11 eggs in the incubator due on the 20th. I put in 19 lost 2 to blood rings. 2 just never developed and had 4 quitters. So I am left with 11. We shall see monday how many hatch.
 
I set 24 mutt eggs from my flock of BO hens and roo, Gold Sex Link, Barred Rock Roo and two mystery chickens. 2 were infertile. So far I have four that I am not sure about and 18 that look good as far as air pocket and growth. THree of the four questionables have good sized air things, but looked a little small in the egg to me but who knows. I only took out the infertile ones. This is my first hatch so wish me luck. They are due on the 18th so hopefully some signs of hatching soon.
 
When I left this evening for work I had pippage on two eggs!!! Hopefully when I get off at 6am, and get home I'll have more!

So far, it looks like the fan I had in there may have been the culprit of the last two bad hatches, but I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket just yet.

I've got 8 buffs due next week. They'll be going in the hatcher on Sunday. Hopefully I wont loose these! I still haven't hatched a buff this year... but that's not for lack of trying.
