July Hatch-a-long

[Gen9]

I am closely following everyone's lockdown posts so I will hopefully be prepared when mine go into lockdown on 7/30.

Mine isn't going smoothly. Humidity issues once again. I have an alarm to wake me up every hour. This should get interesting...

I am keeping my fingers crossed and prayers said for all of you. After my bator left mine cold twice. I ended up with one alive. I left for a bit. I was just hurting to bad to keep up for a bit. Can you believe when I got my chick a friend she tried to kill it??? I had to put a wire between them and their only 4 days old, go figure. It had cried for 4 days because it was alone.
I am wishing everyone good luck. People around here are having terrible luck with their hatches. They are blameing it on the weather. It has rained so very much and the weather has not been stable at all. So many low pressures too.

Going to pick up deluce eggs tomorrow. She has 5 dozen available. 1.00 an egg. So the hard part is deciding how many eggs I want to pick up.

I have a Cochin hen that has been sitting for 5 days and is very dedicated. So I am going to give her some!

Good luck with all of your broodies! I just

broodies, which is why lots of my hens are running around with chicks

I've got Silkies of various colors and Sizzles going in the incubator. I'm super excited about the Sizzles, I really hope they hatch

the 5 I've got in lockdown- day 21- are possible silkie/sizzle. I have a silkie roo & sizzle roo in the pen- so could be from either one or both. Pretty anxious to see what they are- Plus they'll be my first grand-chicks since I hatched both the roos

I'm a chick momma!!!!!!!! I did it!!!! It was one of the most magical things I've ever seen... We all crowded around the little window cheering her on until she just toppled out... Don't see any more pips yet - tomorrow is day 21. Honestly, I'll be ok if all the good Lord sends is one little Lavender AM. She's beautiful!

Hopefully you'll get some more since only chicks are lonely chicks I hear (I have only two and I think they sleep a lot since someone isn't always waking them up - ya know, one bumps one other and suddenly they are all awake - LOL).
