Sad and disappointing hatch. Started with 18. 7 were clear at first candling. 11 to lockdown. First 3 chicks hatched well. Last 3 not so much. One died on day 2. The last 2 chicks have deformities.

I am so sorry. ((big hug))

It feels so wrong to have the incubator empty after its been running for months

Lavender, Red, Blue/Black/Splash and Buff Orpington. White Leghorn x Buff Orpington, and one mixed breed egg that is half Partridge Plymouth Rock.

Well, I am desperately trying to save one of the D'Uccles. Probably shouldn't, as it's a huge mess of congenital deformities. But it really seems to want to live so I'm trying.

So disappointed and heart broken with this hatch...

Oh no!

Poor thing, what deformities does it have? I wonder why you had such a bad hatch? What was the Humidity and Temp? Did they come from clean eggs? Healthy parents?
