. First chick from my second batched hatched last night at day 20! He/she is a Blue Andalusian. The rest of my eggs are due tomorrow and Tuesday.

Such a pretty chick... congrats!!

We had a pip at midnight..its now 7:30pm and I think the chick has passed away, no chirping, movement, nothing. And it smells bad. We are going to give it a few more hours before taking it out and peeling back some shell to see if it is indeed dead or if another egg has gone bad. If we don't get any hatches from this set we will be setting another batch on Sat.

he he he.. it's true... once you start, it is hard to stop! I got my 6th egg yesterday so in the bator they went! Got another egg today so three days in a row... not bad for a tiny Serama hen!

My last egg of the staggered hatch looks like a late quitter... I am happy with my four and there is one more the broody hatched. She is raising two and I claimed the last 3!! I was just snuggling all of them in my hands they are freaking adorable!

Also, my terminally broody Muscovy has started laying eggs again... in the chicken coop which is good. Last time I started to take the eggs thinking I could keep her from going broody AGAIN, but she started laying them under the shed and then sat on the infertile things for 6 weeks! I mentioned to my son that maybe we should get her a few eggs to hatch and he just shook his head. But really she just needs a couple ducklings and then she'll be happy!

Have you ever put shipped eggs under a broody? If I have any more ducks I want them to be Anconas but I haven't found any around here.

Do you have anything incubating these days??

Sorry...start of the school year has kept me busy and away from the forum

I put shipped eggs under my broody, but started them in the bator to make sure that they started developing first! Was nervous about not having them fat end up, but then decided my broody...not me...was the hatching expert

2 out of 4 hatched.

Nothing incubating for me right now

I have 2 baby chicks(bantam cochin and bantam frizzle) and no time for anything else right now.....so sad
