14 days? That's all of the hatches this month. Let's see...Including the buff that got out tonight, that will be 17 total chickens in staggered hatches using two incubators, but I lost two that hatched late and had some physical problems, so I have 15 chicks. And, I'm waiting on the second hatchling still.
My hatch rate is about 80%. It would be higher but for the weather changes we have had. I mentioned earlier I lost another one tonight due to poor humidity. A moment of silence for the Unnamed Peeper.

Thank you.
Add in 2 ducks to that with a dismal hatch rate on the duck eggs. The poor ducks were getting ready to hatch during the temperature and humidity issues. Also, don't a percentage of crested ducks have a problem anyway??? (Can't I get off the hook for that? I did hatch two beautiful baby ducklings.)
I still haven't cleared out the duck incubator, because I believe in fairies. If you do too and clap your hands, maybe Tinkerbell will come back life.
But I'll admit, I hatch better in the rain. I did much better with the hatches before the cold front.
