When I woke up this morning, I found one more A&M in the incubator. Bringing the count to 19.

That's a lot of A&M's!! They sure are fertile boogers!

And Niki said that the one baby by itself is a rosetta

Sadly, no. This is out of 75 eggs, 4 chicks. Today was day 18 so I am hoping maybe a few more might hatch??? If not I am hoping the next batch of eggs hatch out much better...

Wow, that's really bad! Leave them in there a few more days, they could still hatch. Did you candle them at all?

I did not get any more, if it was me who you were asking. I opened the 9 that were left and they were all fully formed, just hadn't been able to get out of the shell. So your eggs were 100% fertile.
I did lose one of the goldens today. I knew I was going to from the start, he didn't eat or drink and there was nothing I could do. The rest are looking great though.

Don't you hate it when that happens?

At least you got a good variety, enjoy your new babies!!

I was very please with the variety that I got. They got moved into the bigger brooder today but it is still too small and I will have to figure out something else very soon.
