February 2022 Hatch-A-Long

Pics
Well, looks like I'm going to be hatching in February (Lord willing). I've been collecting a few Columbian Wyandotte eggs over the past few days to hopefully set next week, but I walked into the chicken house this morning and found the Columbian Wyandotte who had been laying the eggs (Twix) dead on the floor... so, yeah, I'm hoping that all three of the eggs I have of hers will hatch. Thankful that I have two pullets and a cockerel from last hatch that are her kids. I'll also set some Easter Egger eggs and probably some Welsummer eggs. Those will be mixed with Columbian Wyandotte.

Quick question (this may sound dumb, but I don't know the answer 🤔)- does distilled water go bad? I have some left from my September/October hatch and wondering if I can still use it, or if I should get new/"fresh" distilled water? Thanks!

Oh, and incubating with a Nurture Right 360.
What a nice mix of chicks you will get!

I don’t think the water can go bad. I personally don’t use distilled water in my incubator. I boil water and let it cool down a bit. Seems to work fine, I haven’t had any problems. I also have an NR360.😊
 
So exciting! Are the eggs from your own Flock?😊
Yes they are. I actually have 18 in now. My Easter Eggers and then 2 eggs from my Bronze Black Maron that died yesterday😭 I wanted some of her offspring but they'll be mixes of her and a Easter Egger. Then I have 1 Black Astrolope egg In too.:D

I'm sorry you lost a hen! I hope all of her eggs hatch for you!

Distilled water does not go bad. Distilling is just a process that removes all of the minerals from the water.

Thankyou . You don't have to use distilled water do you ? Because I didn't know that and I've been using normal water for the past 3 days .
