February Hatch-A-Long

[BlueBaby]

You were right. We took it out tonight and cracked it open. So that makes two that were not. It is surprising to me since most of our eggs are. Our rooster keeps busy.

If you knew what hen he missed, you could put a bulls-eye on her so he could find her better.

Haha. I know which it is. She isn't as cooperative as the other two, but she has three eggs in the incubator with embryos that seem to be doing well. Praying for a good hatch.

Well my incubator has been rounded up and setup. Getting the temp and humidity good before the eggs arrive. Had such a good hatch with my ducks a few years back then utter failure last year with the chickens, but as I've lost my rooster I've decided to go a different way with my breeding. The batch of eggs coming, even if they hatch, most won't be kept, but it will be fun IDing the breeds About 3 or 4 of the breeds would be iffy for keeping. So, we shall see.

9 babies so far with a possible 2 more coming. Lots of whites and a lovely mix of other colors. I got them a better heat lamp and they're much happier, falling over to sleep wherever.

Just set 40 welsummer eggs on the 14th. Would like to join in hatch along if it's not too late.

Was planning on starting yet but was an emergency set as a gentleman's flock got wiped out by a predator in 1 night.

As it's a February hatch-a-long I would think if you set in February post in here unless you set last day or two of February. But that's just my opinion. I'm not often in the hatch-a-longs.
Sorry about your losses. Hopefully, you can hatch some of his youngins out.
