Edit: @BantyChooks
Honas are done. 11 chicks hatched, 2 with leg problems. 6 were alive at lockdown and died. 2 internally pipped then died. So 11 of 19.

@ChickenCanoe

I changed the feed a couple weeks ago anticipating these results. How long before I test hatch again?

I was getting low rates on my shipped eggs, so I wanted to be sure. I was feeding Dumor layer pellets and switched to feather fixer layer pellets. It was the easiest thing to test first because it was the easiest fix. You had mentioned that average layer feed nutritionally wasn't enough for strong hatching.

X2, except I'd congratulate Ralphie if I were feeling nice or not.

But he's a dux hater

Not sure what happened in the bator but one bulb is out and the fan isn't turning. It's just a chick hospital at the moment, but I only have a couple days to figure it out.

Where's that tongue-wagging emoji?
I would, but the tstat and the other bulb are still going. I think the bulb blew and the fan came unwired.

Help is this what an egg should look like at day seven

Dust in the fan moto

Or the fan overheated and shut down and the bulb blew out.
Is the fan dirty?
