You should hear my SF go off if someone is in the box she likes to use. She will go non stop till they are out.

That's how my brahma, Maribel, is, paces the ledge in front of the nest boxes squawking so frickin loud! When my OE was broody last year I swear it was all day everyday with Maribel! Makes me wonder why they ban roosters in some places with hens that loud

That is no joke woman! He may crow early in the morning and occasionally during the day, but my ladies are like a bunch of ol biddies at a book reading club, lord

Candled all the eggs again (all 19 look great), took out the turner and put down the shelf liner. Lockdown technically starts tomorrow at 3, but I'm giving them a bit more time to get into position.

Cross posting from the May HAL:

I have 15 chicks out so far!

I am very disappointed with this hatch though. I only had 1 clear out of 43 farm eggs. Had 6 early quitters (day 10 or before), which brings me to 36. I had two eggs zip all the way around, and then stop moving (must’ve been last night). When I moved all 10 dry chicks to the brooder (5 were still wet), I saw the zips and they weren’t moving. When I took them out to check them they weren’t moving at all. I removed the air cell side of the shell to see what was going on, & it looks like nothing. Any ideas what could cause this? I candles the rest of the eggs in the 360, and only 2 more showed movement but I left the last couple of eggs in. There are 4 additional a day behind in the Kebonnix. If I only get those 2 and (hopefully) the other 4, that is only 21 eggs. Exactly a 50% hatch rate. My farm eggs have been in the 80s usually, so I am at a loss…

They were zipped all the way around but didn't push out? Was the membrane hard to tear when you opened it? That is very unusual to see them quit after zipping, especially multiple doing it.
Have you hatched eggs from this flock before?
