Had my first hatch

[asianchicken]

One hatched yesterday, all the rest out of 18 were duds. two were alive but accidentally got pipped to early and died.

Sorry about all the duds. It happens. Good luck with the newly hatched one and don't give up.

Aw, do you have a pic of your lone little chick? bummer about the rest, I feel your pain (having just discarded a whole batch).

 

[asianchicken]

A WHOLE batch? That's got to be a pain, I think the eggs were rotten because the chickens haven't been mating lately much. I don't know how to put up a picture, haha.

there's an upload button at the top of the BYC page, click it and follow the instructions. When you're done uploading, copy the line of text that starts with [ img ] and paste that in a reply to the topic.

(yeah, whole batch. Temperature spike killed em. >:-( )

I think mine were either way too hot at one point or the fertility rate wasn't high.

can you get your little chick a buddy at the feed store?

Sorry about a less than satisfying hatch. Time to get some more eggs. You know what they say about falling off a horse!
