...Bugger.

Here is my hatch:

All the Buff sussex are out or pipped and zipping. 11/11

I have 2 surviving Speckled Sussex and both look like buff sussex.

I have 1 surviving Minorca who has pipped but not hatched.

And 1 Turkey poult (yay, a turkey poult!!!!!).

Everything else was Dead In Shell. It looks like they all passed away about 3 days ago at lockdown. Maybe I upped the humidity too high or something? I just don't know what happened. I started with 18 assorted (from which I have 3 chicks if the minorca hatches) 12 turkey eggs (1 hatched, 1 more pipped and was then smothered when the Sussex rolled it onto it's air hole, closing the pip up) and 12 Buff Sussex (from which I have hatched the 11 which were fertile). I've heard of turkey eggs passing at lockdown/DIS but I don't know what to do to stop it.

Yay! A Turkey baby! Well done on your hatch, it's a shame about your ones that were dead in shell. How high was your humidity?

Thanks every one.

She was left out one night and in the morning she wasn't very happy.
So I thought she was just cold I separated her and kept her warm.
She didnt have lice, mites, worms andthing
She didn't improve the last 2 days so I decided to check her over and what I found was putrid......so i'm not going to tell you

Well, that sounds like it must be really bad, Luke.

I picked up some Australorp chickies today. All girls hopefully. 1 black, 3 blue and 1 splash. Love the colours.

Hatch has started, 3 out, 29 to go.

That is certainly a mixed hatch, colourful. Some good, some bad. A turkey, e
