FEBRUARY Hatch-A-Long, come join in!!

Well, I finally got around to posting how many I hatched. I had gallbladder surgery. Just now feeling like posting. On the 19th I had 18 out of 21 hatch, these are RIR and Buff Orpingtons, and/ or mixed, also some can be Barred Rock mix. They are real pretty. I had to cull one, it didn't absorb the yolk. I used my Genesis 1588.
 
Well, my latest batch doesn't even have a pip yet, and it's day 22. Mine usually start pipping or chirping on day 20. I think my humidity might be a little high. I'm having a 4-H poultry meeting at my house tonight, so we will open some of the eggs and see what's up. The next batch goes into lockdown in a week for a March hatch.
 
Day 20...39 eggs in lockdown. 10 chicks hatched, 10 pips and 19 waiting, waitng and waitng some more....I have 7 bantam crosses in here that are already sold, so come on hatch.

Hi Everyone I hope you hatches are going along wonderfully. I am so excited to say I just completed a 20 egg hatch and now how 20 super cute little fuzzy butts running around my brooder. Yes a 100% hatch with over with 17 of those eggs being shipped eggs, I think that's really really good for shipped eggs.

I have to share some pictures of the fuzzy butts.

They are EE's (from Katythechickenlady), BO's (from Shellyga), BCM's (from an Ebayer), and OE's (from my own flock)
This picture is as I was moving them from the incubator to the broody, so they aren't 100% fluffy yet.
