February 2022 Hatch-A-Long

[LadiesAndJane]

Do they have large vaulted skulls? I always find I have more malpositions when that happens! Good luck on your hatch!

Thanks!
All hatched yesterday and last night. 13 out of 16 made it.
About half of them have vaulted skulls. Some so large they do need some assistance when they start to turn in the shell after they internally pip. But these are not malpositioned per se.
Trying to breed away from vaulted skulls in general but I do have two breeding hens that have them. They are absolutely gorgeous in every other way!
I’ll post photos of the chicks later when they’ve all fluffed up more!

My last hatch for Feb is due to hatch tomorrow. I have 9 eggs in there and I am nervous. I really need to add new blood to my rainbow egg flock.
