Christmas Hatch

[generaldsherman]

Still waiting for mine, no chicks yet even though they are due today. Must've gotten a bit cold and delayed them

Lockdown! First full day. I laid them down and stopped turning at 17 days but didn't bump up humidity until partially into day 18 (yesterday). I wanted to get a few extra hours of aircell growth, particularly to the "youngest" eggs which were a little smaller than I'd like. Fingers crossed! I hope they start pipping before I return to work on Monday so I know whether or not to switch my schedule around so I can be here for (hopefully) my first hatch!

Congrats to all who hatched already and condolences to those who haven't.

Best of luck to you. My next batch hatch Monday/Tuesday, four little frizzle serama eggs.

So hard to be patient. For me it's waiting for chicks that won't be culled. Three of my nine show promise; the right shape, size, and length of leg. One in particular I have high hopes for. A rooster-I want a rooster with the right traits.

Yeah that changes things.

I would have even taken roosters if mine would have hatched, better than nothing, have to re-home a BR cockrel that's 3 weeks old
