BYC's 2023 Spooktacular Halloween Hatch-Along

[ronott1]

Pulled another 3 when I took out the turners. Down to 15 now.

It sounds like things are progressing well!

First turkey hatched. Little fellow was too impatient to see the world and decided to hatch a day or two early. Maybe I’ll get some Halloween-hatched chicks, or the other turkey will hatch tomorrow though.View attachment 3671450

What a little cutey!

Today is my hatch day for some eggs!

Halloween dummies!
I'm waiting on only 1 egg to hatch.

My first pip of my Halloween hatch.
Wrong end, but at least it is something.
I had a power out at one point, so they are zombi eggs.

Congratulations!

The newly hatched babies are very cute!

Ahhhhh hatching issues! Got back from work and Dr appointment early. Checked on how the hatching is going. And not good.

Had one stuck in an egg. The membrane all dried out, but it could breath thank goodness. Another one tho may have an unclosed umbilical opening? Not sure yet. La sigh.

*I think it's yoke that has not been fully absorbed yet.*

Should have upped the humidity alot more.

I hope that the ones that hatched hard survive!
