July 2022 Hatch-A-Long

[Dragon Slayer Trinket]

Started with 12 and down to 5, a bit disappointing for our first time incubating from our own flock Quite a few clears and then two very early quitters. Probably should have waited to set, but wasn’t sure if we’d have a roo with them again. He’s back and I’m hoping to improve his diet, the neighbours only gave him scratch

Would you really sell just 2 -3 chicks? I hope your rooster is doing better.

It's a wrap here
I turned off the incubator today after took out the last two sticky chicks ( I washed them and left them there to dry )
Finally count is
4 RIR out of 12set (10 fertile, 8 went into lockdown)
10 barn yard mix out of 17 set ( 16 fertile, 15 went into lockdown )
This is my first and last hatch of the year. I decided not to do another one but to focus on raising those babies

Here are some pictures of the babies

@Poodlemum how is it going? Have you any pips yet?

@Dragon Slayer Trinket I've been looking through your other thread. How is the little one getting on?

Look how pretty she is
I am very new to this
What breed mix could she be ? She has hair on her feet and little webbed feet too

She is adorable.

Beautiful babies!
Love the light, silvery blue ones. Will be interesting to see how all these littles feather in. Congratulations.
