How is your flock today?

I think that I got you addicted to hatching? Keep it up, and you will have a whole yard full of them before long!

No, We just need more property first. I do thank you for helping me along with the whole incubating process.

Watch the humidity level in your incubator then.

I haven't ordered it yet. I'm waiting to see if this new rooster that I got on Sunday is even fertilizing the egg's or not, because I haven't seen him breeding the girl's. If he isn't fertilizing them, I will have to find another nice roo.

How old is your Roo?

I got him from another person in AZ. that was trying to rehome her flock, because she's moving to Georgia. She said that he wasn't too old though. She had 4 rooster's, but I only took in one of them.

O ok, I was just curious, you have so much going on with your chooks it's just so hard for me to keep up with you!

2nd Hatch Up-date. As of now and from the 15 eggs, we have 6 little healthy chicks bouncing around the incubator and two currently pipping trying to make their way into the new world. I guess we are half way there and it would be super awesome if all 15 make it!

I will be out of town most of the weekend working and will report back Monday morning with the official count.

Hello everyone, I just unplugged the incubator/ We have ten healthy little baby chicks! . Other five eggs left done nothing for 3 days so it was time to unplug the machine.

All is good they are super active and get tired really fast and sleep and start all over. LOL

10 chick's out of 15 egg's isn't bad!

@BlueBaby When I candled all 26 eggs before lockdown and picked out the eggs that I couldn't see all the way through. I went through them pretty quickly so those 5 eggs may have been bad to start with and I didn't catch them.

When they started to hatch all 10 hatched pretty much all together and I didn't have any late ones, so that makes me kind of think those last 5 eggs could have been bad and I didn't know that and still locked them down.

I have a bit of a hard time holding those small eggs and trying to candle them without dropping them. I think the 360 has the light on it for candling, so that should help.

All in all this time around with that old machine went a lot smoother then the first time. I am very happy with the 10 little healthy babies.
