January 2020 Hatch along

[FortCluck]

Here's the chick that hatched yesterday

Well the first chick was a bit early and got it's dumb ass up the wrong way, but made it with a little help eventually alone. It couldn't crack the shell cause the beak was at the wrong angle. As far as I can see there are a couple of external pips from the other eggs happening right now!

Nice save!

I had a "chick on the half shell" situation (pipped wrong end/malposition) in my last hatch, too...I waited too long on the first wrong end pipper and it died, so I wasn't taking chances on the second. The assisted one is happy, healthy, and indistinguishable from its hatchmates.

After placing 19 eggs in the hatcher, 15 nice healthy chicks hatched. The only downside is the 4 darkest eggs didn't hatch. This batch came from a couple different flocks that were merged. One flock had not had a rooster present so they only had a rooster with them for less than a week before setting eggs.
I have more going into the hatcher later today.

First batch of eggs has arrived going in the incubator tomorrow morning.

Love the mix this time. Was supposed to get 15, I think she miscounted... zero complaints.

Golden and Silver Spitzhauben, Isbars, Barbezieux, Swedish Flower Hens, Crested Cream Legbars, Blue Laced Red Wayandottes

Who will hatch?!

Who had barbezieux's?

Unless something drastic happens, these will be the last shipped eggs I place in the incubators. Or I should say I will be placing in the incubators on Sunday after a 24 hour rest after arrival. Which will put the hatch date around January the 12th.

I will be so thankful when I am back to hatching my own eggs instead of shipped eggs

Great chicks! This thread deserves a spot in the featured items on our homepage! Congrats!

Here is one of the chicks I kept from January's hatch! And another picture of him (older) cuddling with all the February hatchlings while I was cleaning their area.
