Derrick how are the eggs doing???

Kristian,

Lock down in the AM and we will see. I raised the humidity today to 55% and will raise it some more prior to hatch. I will only be keeping a few hens of each type and the rest I will get rid of. I should know by about 4-6 weeks of age...

Thanks for the heads up! Good Luck

Derrick, I think you are on your way to becoming a Mad Hatcher. Nice eggs, good luck with your hatch.

 

[Derrick]

drom,

I think you may be right....

I have some more eggs coming next week.....

Im thinking of making a incubator. Becouse hatching your own chicks looks like fun!

 

[Derrick]

Came home from work and took a look at the bator.... One of Fay's BLR Wyandottes has a pip but it is on the wrong end..

This is the second time I have incubated so I'm not sure if this will even work or if the chick is a gonner...... This is the end of day 20..... I have the humidity at 61% and will be increasing it to about 63% now....

Well if its coming out I think it will be fine.

Has it pushed out anymore?
