June 2022 Hatch-a-long

A few of my early birds

I have 1 last one it was another wrong end pip and took 13hrs to hatch it seems so tired. I'm slightly worried for it.

It does look tired. It’s out of the shell now though. As long as it doesn’t have feet issues it should recover quickly. Do you have any electrolytes or nurtri drench for poultry? That helps perk them up when removed from the incubator.

I do have some.
I wanted to keep her in the incubator a little longer but I can get something in her once I see how she does.
I already removed the others to the brooder to give her some space and I'm holding out hope for that last egg lol

She seems to have a lot of energy and spunk but does seem to be having trouble walking. I'll let her rest over night and see how she is doing tomorrow

I’ve lost track of who’s hatched. I pulled 3 hatched chicks last night. There appears to be 8 chicks in the incubator with 3 more pipped eggs. 2 with no pips. One late quitter I’d been questioning I’ve already pulled.

Solid plan.

Candles again last night. Everything looks ok with my 15! Lockdown Wednesday.

Mine are a week old now, and seem to be thriving. Meanwhile another has gone broody and is sitting on 6 eggs of a hen I thought I'd lost, but who returned 3 days after a dog attack; they are due to hatch on July 1, but they might just make it into the June cohort!

I’ve moved the 9 hatchlings in with the other chicks. 4 eggs remaining. 3 have pips. The final egg I opted for a safety hole. It’s air cell is on the side. I rarely do these. In this case it felt right.

I’m briefly regretting my order of shipped eggs next week. These latest chicks to hatch are so cute. I want to keep them all! More chicks means more decisions and culling. I guess I’ve softened in my time without a flock.
