Boudreaux's Hatch 11/2019

[shayann]

So excited to start my first hatch of baby chick's. Due to arrive between today - Friday. I sure hope it is today! I ordered 6 for my first hatch. Purchased from Meyer's and got the assorted bundle. Not sure which chicks I will get but will post pics and update all. Besides I think that's a little fun for my first hatch. Sort of like having a baby and waiting to see what the sex in when they are born. LOL.

So let the eggs set over night. Plan on putting in the incubator at lunch. Hopefully the incubator is set correctly.

Australorp, correct?

Blue Andalusians are beautiful. I was going to get one, but I didn't. I really think I want to get mixed eggs from Meyers in the spring.

Yes, I'm sorry. Darn spellcheck. LOL! Black Australorp. I had to look up all the different breeds. I have the RIR, EE, SLW, GLW. Nine total so really excited about the assortment I received. Especially if they hatch, al least a few maybe. I set them in the incubator yesterday because I was a little concerned about the humidity in the bator. It was kind of high at first and I didn't want them to drown. Not even thinking that I am in the south and our humidity is already high. I had to play with it to get in where I was comfortable. It was hard to get lowered. Stayed at like 78-90% for the longer. Trust me, not much water in the bator. it was at 43% when I left the house this morning.

If the Blue Andalusian makes it through the hatch I will be so excited. You should def do the assortment. I was so pleased with what I did get.
