Day 19: Chirping in the bator

[Sasquatch]

I keep getting an intermittent chirp from the bator. I cannot wait for pipping to start!

Isn't that just the best sound ever?

 

[Sasquatch]

It is. And since I reside in Ice Station Idaho, it build my hope that spring will arrive sometime.

5 chicks so far. There was one when I got up. I went to the church house to shovel out the furnace, came back fifteen minuites later and had 3 more! Way cool! Even the wife is excited to witness this miracle.

6 and the wife is mad because I explained lockdown to her. She cannot play with them for a while.

I'm waiting for mine to peep or anything -- Day 21
5 BCM & 2 mysteries

 

[Sasquatch]

Today is technically day 20. My bator might be a bit warm. But they keep coming and seem like lively, healthy chicks so I won't got looking a gift horse in the mouth.

 

[Sasquatch]

And now there are 8.

Wonderful!

How many eggs did you set?

 

[Sasquatch]

Originally 21. I pared 7 out at stages via candling.

BTW as the hatch progesses and the humidity goes up, do you experience a drop off in survivability of the later eggs?
