EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Fire Ant Farm]

Well, I woke up to a hatcher full of chicks (I love it when that happens!). You can see one mid-hatch on the right.






7 of the Tank x GNH NN chicks with one that hatched right when I walked up, and 4 of the Goodwin x Marans chicks.

They're in the brooder now (except the newly hatched one who needs to dry off). The Maran crosses are ALL kinds of crazy vigorous and spunky!!! Chatting and eating and drinking. For two of them, I think they were fed up with being in the hatcher for ~12 hours. The NN are resting quietly, but happy and healthy - they are small, but they also came from smallish pullets eggs.







The two last Tank x GNH eggs have pips - one was the last one, pipped overnight, and one has a weird high pip (near the apex of the egg). The two remaining Marans don't have pips - I'm thinking maybe they aren't viable. But we'll wait to see what happens today.

I love having baby chicks!!!

One of my blue eggs that I couldn't see through pipped this morning. I had to get the others out though so I'm hoping I didn't shrink wrap it. I did bump up the humidity before opening the bator so I guess will see how it goes.


Congrats on you hatch Fire Ant.

Dan and Ant Grats..

I think you did better than me.

I have 7 fuzzies and 9 eggs that did not hatch.

My hatch rate is about 12% with all I set. and less than 50%

But the ones I have are cuties. I am not going to open the incubator today. I have a few more pipped and have my fingers crossed for them but not holding out much hope.




Morning, and more snow here so I will be plowing snow most the day again in the cold......
