I Did It!

[RachaelS]

Finally! Here is the back story on my first attempts to hatch shipped eggs (my first chickens also) first set 1/12, second set 0/12, third 6/36, after buying the eggs for the thrid set I "accidentally" won an auction on eBay, I bid so low I thought there was no way possible I would win but I did so those eggs got set a week after my thrid set. During lockdown I did not turn the new group and had HUGE spikes in humidity, so.......... As of right now on the fourth set I have 7/12

Only 11 went into lockdown and I only "bought" 10 so that is 70 percent (chicken math right

)

Thanks, wow I did not realize how tough this is! I have a whole new respect for breeders, I thought I could just throw in 12 eggs and get at least 10 chicks! Boy I was WRONG
