Broody Ayam cemani hen and incubator

[gimmie birdies]

We had a 9 hr power out last night, and 2 incubators going! It was early in egg development though. Hopefully no effect.

So 11 were fertile of the 14, I gave 11 to the hen, and one went missing. The hen then had 10, 2 got dented and died. 2 were quitters. The eggs have not hatched on day 21, but they were fridge eggs they say they can be delayed. I do hear peeping in these eggs.

Of the eggs, only 2 quit so far. 6 left.

the dented eggs, (by hen) and the missing egg, and the clears should not be included in any non-hatching percentage.

When the hen got these eggs mAR. 21 we still had snow on the ground, and it has been freezing every night since then. They were also fridge eggs. I had 6 left, 4 hatched. One died after the hatch, (That surprised me, I thought it was strong.) The last 2 are still alive, but they still have yolk to absorb, so they will stay in the egg for longer. Monday moring quarter backing this, 1. it was too cold to give hen eggs. 2. I gave her too many eggs in the cold weather.

Below are the just hatched chicks, (BCM) still sleepy- and scuddlebutting. First hached chick, boy.

Napping.
