Hatching Chicks!

[13 chickens]

I am hatching 48 Old English Bantam eggs for an Amish family and I am going to keep everyone updated on what is going on

these are all the eggs together

this is my incubator

these are the two eggs that pipped this morning

I bet that's a pain turning them all individual!

I used a turner, they put Xs and Os on them before I got them

 

[CocoPopz]

Oh right haha, I hate turning then individually, easier automatic

Yay - I'm excited to follow this thread - I'm new to having chickens, and we will probably be looking to hatch some replacement birds next year.

There is nothing more exciting!! I basically didnt sleep for weeks because I would wake up in the night and have to check on them!!! Hope it is a successful hatch, cant wait to see how it goes
