Here We Go Again (hatch-a-long)

[SBFChickenGirl]

In January I tried to hatch Dutch bantams. Nothing. 0% hatch rate. Now we have a better thermometer and hydrometer to keep track. We've been running the incubator and keeping it in the right temps and humidity.

So here we go again. This time we're doing Mille Fleur D'uccles. Hopefully things go better.

Here's the first hatch-a-long. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/shipped-eggs-air-cells-and-hatch-a-long.1344264/

Hey good luck on your hatch, I have about seven days left on my Barnevelders, then I have to decide what I am going to do next....

CAME HOME TO A NEW BATOR!!!! Nurture Right 360. Waiting for it to stabilize before I move the eggs, but otherwise good things are happening over here!!!

AND THERE ARE EGGS TOO. WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?
THEY ARE BIELFELDERS.

Well I know what going in the new bator once it warms up lol.

So to save everyone some confusion, here is what's happening.

I started with 15 D'uccle eggs, 14 Mille Fluer and 1 Porcelain.

Came home this afternoon to a new bator, and 28 Bielfelder eggs. (My birthday is this month, which would explain the sudden appearance of chicken things.)

So the bielfelders are going in the Farm Innovators bator - the old one. The Farm Innovators bator will hereby be known as the FIB. And the d'uccles will be going in the Nurture Right bator (hereby known as the NRB).

SO THE D'UCCLES WILL BE HATCHING ON THE 22-23, AND THE BIELFELDERS ON THE 24-25.

THERE IS SO MUCH CHICKEN HAPPINESS OVER HERE YOU HAVE NO CLUE.

Just switched everything around. The D'uccles are in the NRB, and the Bielfelders in the FIB.

SO EXCITED!
