Hatch results::

Of the 36 eggs I set. 20 made it to lockdown. and 13 hatched

I had 7 Gold Laced and 2 palomino Brahma eggs from my own birds. 2 Basque eggs also from my own birds. Then I had 12 BBS english orp eggs from Renies Peeps and also 10 BBS english orp eggs from Smith Hobby Farms (slongest,thasista).

Into lockdown went my 7 GL and 1 palomino brahma eggs, 5 Renies peeps BBS 5 SHF BBS and the 2 basque eggs.

The hatch finally ended today with all 7 of my GL brahmas 1 basque, 1 Renies peeps BBS and 4 SHF BBS hatching.

Renies Peeps eggs were packaged the best. She used those foam egg block inserts the eggs fit into. I really liked her method but she was the farthest distance (NH).
But Smith Hobby Farms had the best hatch rate, but all blues No blacks or splash

These are the Gold Laced Brahmas, They are shipping off to Florida Monday.






These are the orps. The blues are Smith Hobby Farms (yellow band) eggs and the Renies Peeps chick is the lone splash baby with the red bracelet on. Hope shes a girl!







This is my favorite chick. The biggest one!! And I have a strong feeling its a boy based on the pattern of its down coat. Ill let you guys now if im right or not...





Tomorrow im setting 36 of Trisha Blue Barnevelder eggs. I wasnt getting enough fertiles and i need to build my flock up. And I cant wait to take some pictures of those cute little chickes!!!

Good Job!

Those are great looking chicks!

Thanks Ron!!!

Probably would have done a lot worse without your help.

Ive got the Brinsea spot check on the way, Should be here monday. I hope with that my hatch rate goes up. I want to move on to a better incubator already. But I feel like I should learn this one first then move on to a brinsea or a dickey.

Yes! You can keep using this one as a hatcher too.

She looks like a production red. Does she lay a lot of large to jumbo brown eggs?

I want to thank PetRock for sharing her Vent Gleet experience. I have two with it and one is pretty bad.

It was a weird experience treating with a suppository....

. The things we do for our chickens.

Do I really have to do this for 7 days?

For me, you can't lose with a blue chick

And the good part, you breed the blue to blue and you'll get blue, black & splash!
