We survived our first go at incubation, but I lost a lot of sleep. Haha. We also got two chicks out of it. One from our first eggs put in, and one from the eggs put in four days later (because I thought for sure I had killed the first set with a temp spike early on). Both from the same hen, likely a black Australorp mix. The rooster is a Black Copper Marans mix. Unfortunately, my phone won't let me upload any pictures.
We had some sad losses too, the one from set A that pipped and died, and two from set B full grown, but no pips.![]()
I lost sleep too, the first couple of time that I incubated egg's. Now, I don't worry about it as much. I do the best that I can, and I don't mind finding chick's in there the next morning peeping at me. Sometime's they are even dry by then. I let them hatch on their own, and seem to end up with stronger chick's that way.
