July 2022 Hatch-A-Long

For those of you who have hatched out lavenders before, I think I may have gotten a split baby instead....? She's so dark, she looks either dark blue or black. Have you ever seen a lavender this dark?

I had one more incubator egg hatch, a black one, and my box of shipped chicks are here. They shipped 18 and one was free, but I did have one dead one- when I opened the box they were all standing on it...
here is an over view...I am going to try and list what I have got, if you beg to differ I am okay with that...

That’s quite a variety you got there! It’s going to be fun to see how they end up.😊

They are all so cute!
I'm sorry bout the lil one not makin it!
 
My hatch is finally finished and I have 16 babies! I would have updated sooner but I was glued to the incubator for 36 hours and after that I was way too exhausted to do anything, even type!

So two of the 18 eggs that went into lockdown didn't make it. One never pipped internally and another one pipped externally but then died. When I opened it up later there was a mess of yellow goo (I assume egg yolk?) and of dark, clotted blood. Does anyone have any idea what could cause that death?

Out of the 16 that hatched, 10 were malpositioned! They were all malposition 4 from what I can tell, which is beak facing away from the air cell. Most of them hatched without a problem but I did have to assist the last one because it was so badly stuck. Oddly though, the two that didn't make it were normally positioned.

Here are some of the babies. I'll try to get more photos later!
