Delawares Humming Along/ Due Feb 25th / Hatch Complete

[megshenhut]

Cyn, glad to hear your hatch went so well. Hope the last one makes it. Glad to hear you are doing better too. Healing just takes time and that goes for more than just your ankle, but your whole self. Take care and enjoy those little fuzzy butts.

Here are some gratuitous chick pics for you. Sorry a couple are too large, just refresh your screen and see if it helps:

Awwww! They look great, Cyn. Nothing like happy little fuzz butts, eh?

C'mon little 14! Last but not least, little fella.

 

[speckledhen]

I think we did okay, didnt we, Janet? I'm very pleased with this number.

 

[seriousbill]

Yes, indeed.

Not bad at all for shipped eggs. It'll be 70% of the shipped total if that last one hatches--well over the average for shipped eggs. And that's even including the two clears, which was a fertility issue most likely.

 

[speckledhen]

I never count the clears since there is really no way to know for sure if they were infertile or just didnt start development. So, if that little guy does make it out, that will be 15 of 18 that did start development and/or hatched. If you look at it that way, then it's more like 83% for the Delawares. Pretty good!

 

[seriousbill]

Yes, that's true. Really, the incubation went extraordinarily well.

Wow Cyn! Great Hatch! I have not been on in so long so I am scanning through lots of posts today! Your babies I hatched in late Oct. are So big and Beautiful! I will try and get pics and a post later today. I only have 1 BR roo and 2 BR girls and 2 Dels from Shortcake. I scanned through this thread and wow! What a great hatch for shipped Eggs! Can't wait to see how these cuties grow out!
