Oh NO! any luck since then?

No I've had good hatches and bad. My first hatch with my own chickens was 100% but then after that the next hatch was during Hurricane Sandy. I used hand warmers that maintained their heat around 98-99 degrees for a couple of hours so I left them on the eggs. Then a few hours later some got as hot as 115 degrees! And they were on the eggs so most died...at day 19-20. A few survived but then just couldn't make it. 1/2 were internally pipped when they died. Lesson learned.

I'll take creme brulee! I'd rather eat dessert for every meal if I have a chance.
