Not too long!

Yay!!! It's so cute already. Definitely eager to come out and say hello

I accidentally gave her one of my purebred girls. So, she named it Abi. Abi is pretty shy, and was staying in the run alone when the others from me were allowed out today.
After a few hours, the original flock was allowed out to free range too. Immediately, the nasty rooster went over to mate with Abi. She immediately squatted for him. I always did like the bad boys! And I'm usually alone too!

The bad boys always seem like fun at first... this has been my lifelong struggle!

Any of you that remember my eggs that were due on the 13th, might be interested to know that one of the three just pipped. My daughter is watching tiny egg shells fall off! This is day 27 for that egg. We now have two externally pipped. The other is just 21-23 days.

I have some questions:

1) Do you hatch in the same incubator or have another Hatcher?
2) Are you sure of the hatch date? This is 6 days later seems you might be a week off on the count.
3)What species are we talking about, sorry I am old with a short memory...

My recent egg purchase arrived like this:

And they were double boxed.

I can only assume that Ralphie intercepted them and stomped on the box assuming that they were DUX eggs






Edited to say these were NOT from Ralphie incase anyone misunderstood - he would never send dux eggs and pretty sure his shipments are protected by magical powers anyway so arrive in perfect condition.

CRUD!!! any good?

A day late but all 72 made it safe and sound and not too much worse for the wear. There are 15 EEs, 10 Brown leghorns, 25 Assorted rainbow layers, 12 silver laced Wyandotte's and 10 Speckled Sussex! From the Assorted layers I've identified 6 Black sex links, about 13 RIRs and about 6 of what I think are White Rocks.

Ok I'll check again Monday for survivors and hope for the best. Maybe next hatch will turn out better...

@oEch0o Please start with calibration before you set. you need to have temps 99.5 or up to 101 dont go hotter. FAN OR NO FAN... please look through the info posted below.
