This stinks such a low fertile rate! are you checking for fertile eggs as you crack them? I know you got this in the bag next time!!I am happy to see everyone have pretty successful hatches! Mine was and prolly will still be a learning experience. Out of the 18 that I set, all were infertile except 1. And that one was shrinked-wrapped - so I've got to get a better hygometer to put into the incubator.... Will try again later as my hens are laying only anywhere from 0-2 a day. Of course the sun helps in HUGE way since it's a rare event in PNW area.
Told my office mate about my unsuccessful hatch, and about how wonderful Alpha, my roo, was with the ladies - making sure they all ate first before him, watching out for the hawks that we have, shooing them all into the coop (way too early in my opinion) before the sun actually sets..... you know the saying - Nice guys finish last, right? Well it totally applies in the hen world too!
