Incubation frustration

[chickenlady7770]

Sadly the last on went down hill and had to cull the poor thing. Also lost my single stagger that I put in lock down today would have been day 21 for them but no movement no nothing. Poor thing.

Bummer.. it's hard to lose them. How are the others doing?

I'm sorry about your losses :-( The preschool actually incubated ours. We had 27 out of 35 hatch. I examined the eggs that didn't hatch...3 of them didn't fully develop. The other 5 unfortunately were shrink wrapped:-( I didn't have control of how they handled them...but 77% hatch was pretty good I thought. We have kept 10 and gave 17 to a friend ^_^ I've never had any hatched from my own chickens. These ones are so friendly and sweet. All the ones I've ever gotten before from the stores are so afraid and standoffish. I don't think I'll ever buy from the store again. This is the way to go.View attachment 1340889 View attachment 1340890 View attachment 1340891 View attachment 1340893 View attachment 1340895
