I've been think about you and wondering what's going on in your chick world. I have 7 out but I think 2 of them are holding on by a thread. Doesn't look good for those two. The other 4 are in the brooder and the 7th one is just hatching now in the bator. Got 2 pipping and one zipping as well :/

4 days is normally the best day to do the feather test?

I think I remember reading that it can be done up to 4 days. The earlier the better.

Wow, I always wondered how to tell the difference. Thanks for this!
I'll check my new little ones later. Too late for the 3-4 week olds though. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Almost there, we are on day 18 and excited for lock down tomorrow! Hopefully we will have chicks by Friday! Started with eight shipped Bantam Cochin eggs for my son's 4-H project. Early on he accidentally dropped one while turning them, cracked it and learned the lesson Mom had been preaching about being very, very careful.

Then we had a scare of a 104 spike, for who knows how long,

but we finally got the temps regulated. Ended up disgarding three clears, and have high hopes for the four remaining who seem to be developing well. Temps steady at 99 or 100 and humidity at 60% on the digital combo hygro-thermometer.

Then we have 48 Jumbo Brown Cornix Quail eggs that go into lock down on Friday too that I bought. It was a quick decision when a neighbor said he wanted some to raise. Oh my, it should be very interesting at our house soon!
