August Hatch-A-Long!

[roostersandhens]

My hen hatched 3/4 chicks succesfully! 1 would have hatched but it pippied to early . They all look like healthy little chicks! There is a brown one a black one and a grey one! I'll take pictures later and post them here!! I ended up moving them to inside my house in a crate last night. The chicks are so cute!

they all hatched a day early today was there due hatching date, they all hatched yeterday!

Ihavechickens- I'm sorry they died. It's frustrating to lose chicks for sure.

Ummmm......how early is too early to hear peeping inside the egg lol? They went on lockdown last night and this morning my saughter said she heard peeping so I was like yeah yeah..... but she's right! I hear it tooo! My temps have been between 99-100 the whole time!

Good luck with the hatch. Keep us informed about your hatch rate. I just put 3 kinds of eggs in the bater. 18 cream legbars, 15 black copper marans, and 12 rhodebars. All of which came in the mail. This is my first batch of mail order eggs so i really dont know what to expect as far as hatch rates.

Thanks heidisgran . After all my bad luck this year I want babies to show for this one! I'm glad peeping now is ok. I was really worried!

Quote: expect less than 50%...did you let them rest a day or 2?
