July 4th Hatch-A-Long?

[CABINHOLLOWNC]

So far two EE's, one OE and one FBCM have hatched! More are pipped...

As of right now...9 of 12 have hatched! Hatch day officially ends at 4:45 PM today. I'll leave the other three eggs in the incubator for a couple more days, but I don't think they will hatch. All in all it was a successful hatch! I got two Olive Eggers, 3 Easter Eggers, 3 Black Copper Marans and 1 Blue Copper Maran. I thought I chose the lightest of the Maran eggs which should have been the blue...I guess I was meant to have Black Copper Marens?? LOL... it's all good! I'll get some pictures soon!

Just had my first chick bust out of its egg! One day early and pipped, zipped, and shot out of the shell faster than I have ever seen.

My eggs (I have 3 the hens have not destroyed.) Due on the 5th. one looks like in the air cell, one has looks like a day 18 should, and one had a crack/hole on the tip. I brought the 3 of them in to incubate, because a hen would probably eat the cracked egg. I put on nail polish, but in hind sight, I should have tried tape this late in the game. although I still see veins in candling, and I don't think the nail polish has hurt it. I am happy for the rest of you getting babies.

Day 21 was at 10:30 am this morning and I believe all have hatched that will hatch. I have 25 loud chicks and 1 that is getting a super slow start. (She was glued to the inside of the shell so I had to help).

I should have almost all sex-linked chicks, and if that is the case, my male to female ratio is very heavy on the males as usual. I believe I have about 9 females and 17 males. I have a production red roo over Delaware hens--- Im hoping the ladies will be excellent layers and the gents will be good to eat. We shall see!
