Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

I'm up to 19 chicks, with only one of them failing to thrive before leaving the incubator.

out of 60?

 

[Granny Hatchet]

H20, do you have more eggs still?

 

[Verna Y]

That’s great! How many did you set?

25 whitewings and 25 wilds. It looks like only the whitewings hatched. (or was it 30/30) I will have to recheck my numbers.

out of 60?

Yeah, I think the wilds were not fertilized.

Eating and everything this morning!

Awww. So sweet. Great they have each other. A lonely chick is a sad thing.

 

[h2oratt]

are there more eggs or what ?

Yes I set two sets because my birds were only laying one a day. I gathered one group then put them in. I waited a week and gathered another batch. They are the dirty ones. It rained that week.

*sigh* One of the pippers was dead. The other pipper is severely malpositioned, I will probably regret not assisting it later.

This sucks.

I never assist. Usually the ones you assist do not thrive.

Trying not to tear up... It’s nature, I know. Just disappointing.
