Hatching Eggs from Miss-Jayne - Mahonri & ChevygirlBeth

[maplesky7]

at least I'm not the only one on pins and needles...

I never candled so I have NO idea what I'm to expect.


Chevygirlbeth...my first hatch I got maybe 8 out of 18...the second and third went better....but then a year or so has gone by since I've hatched and I feel like such a newbie...well, I guess I am anyway. It gets better as we go. Hugs.

me,

Well here is my get home from work report, for Hatch 2.

Chick 1 - Wheaten Blue/Wheaten Ameraucana... I'm guessing roo, we'll see!
Chick 2 - Black Ameraucana
Chick 3 - Splash Ameraucana
Chick 4 - BLUE Ameraucana
Egg 5 - Pipped... trying to zip Salmon Faverolle
Egg 6 - trying to zip BBS Ameraucana
Egg 7 - pipped.. BBS Ameraucana
Egg 8 - slight pip... WB/W Ameraucana

Miss Jayne's Ducks and 2 remaining chicken eggs still have some time to go. Day 21 for the 2 chicken eggs will be Monday afternoon.

No others pipped or out yet.

Humidity on one says 65 and 53 on the other. I hope it's somewhere in the middle.
Temps... 100.6 & 99.7 I also hope its inbetween.

Thanks G!

Mahonri, congrats on more new babies... I still wanna see pics!

My egg from Jane with no last name is in the hatcher along with 4 eggs from my cousin. I am almost certain that 3 of the 4 from my cousin have a good chance. A little uncertain on Jane w/no last name and the 4th egg from my cousin.

I don't think I ever said what mix my cousin's eggs are. She has a beautiful EE rooster and some golden comet, RIR, & NHR hens.

I have 1 guinea egg left. The others all gave up. The one that is left seems very strong, though! I also have 12 more guinea eggs that are in the bator - they're on day 5 today. Hopefully this group is more successful than the last!

Egg 6 is a black Ameraucana. Faverolle hasn't moved. Just has it's beak hanging out of the shell. I'm wondering when I'll have to intervene if at all.

One more BBS has pipped.

 

[miss_jayne]

i have found that any i have 'helped' end up failing even if they did fine getting out. they just seem to fail.

 

[Mahonri]

OK, I'll leave it alone!

Got another W/BW Americauana that started to pip and another BBS pipping. Fav is just hanging out there with it's beak out of the shell.

 

[miss_jayne]

yeah! progress!

 

[Mahonri]

OK, here is the tally.

1 W/BW Ameraucana (I think roo)
1 BLUE Ameraucana
2 Black Ameraucana
2 Splash Ameraucana

Fav still trying to zip... seems to be having a tough time but is still moving and cheeping
1 w/BW pipped and moving.
2 BBS Ameraucanas pipped... one looks like its getting ready to start zipping.

Still lots of eggs unpipped in the bator

 

[Mahonri]

Tally continued...
2 W/BW Ameraucana
2 BLUE Ameraucana
2 Black Ameraucana
2 Splash Ameraucana

I don't think the fav with it's beak sticking out is going to make it. Oh well, we'll wait.

1 BBS still pipped.
8 others not
2 W/BW not
3 Favs not

2 MJ chicken eggs due Monday
5 duck eggs.

 

[miss_jayne]
