Well, today I set 12 more eggs. 4 Olive Eggers (Blue Wheaten Ameraucana over Welsummer), and 8 Easter Eggers (Wheaten Ameraucana over Barred Rock or over Easter Egger). Chicks are due Aug 16th. This is my third hatch (and final?) this year.

Hello and welcome

Is there ever REALLY a final hatch????/ LOL

Welcome

Turkeys are the cutest hatchlings

Can't wait to see those babies!

Awwww...so sorry about your chick

The sun is out on this cold winters day, and I'll be picking up an incubator this afternoon to see if I can give the cracked egg we have a better chance of surviving. I've not used one before. So nerve wracking. Is it right to also pick up a thermometer/hydrometer for better accuracy? Fingers crossed for the baby in the egg labelled "12". Have a lovely Sunday, hatch-a-long friends.

It's 108° here today. I still smile when I read "cold winters day" from our friends south of the equator. Best to you with the bator. Good rule to follow when using one is... don't over think it.

The humidity is 71, is that too high for chicks? (Hatching day)

It will shoot up as the chicks hatch.
