June Hatch a Long

[sbrown]

Well my June hatch has officially come to and end. Last 2 eggs hatched last night making and even 30 out of 37 that hatched. 6 eggs never developed and lost one chick during hatching, my fault there cause I thought it was unfertile also and pipped it to early only to realize it wasn't. But you learn from your mistakes and this has been a good process for me to gain some valuable info. Like, what humidity and temps worked for my bator, just how long I can store eggs, and I noticed that the eggs that didn't develope were all older except for one which was really small. Now hopefully they do well and I get a bunch of pullets. Good luck to all!!

Congrats, hope you wake up to lots of fuzzy butts.

thank you .... hehe...... and I did

[/URL]more pics of my new fuzzy butts both are silkies..

too cute.... congrats....I like the little silver one. I need me at least one of those hehe.

Georgeous silkies! Congrats!
Wake up ceocka & monita!!! Post those pics!

Can't wait to see that mystery chick & how it grows out. Interesting combo!

ok ..... I am awake...... and I think I counted correctly...... if so there are 14 hatched and 14 left to go. It is kinda hard to count them with all the babies moving around and rolling the eggs too. they are all pretty wet still. at 1am I had 5 hatched and by 5am there are 14 the humidity in there was up to 80%...... l took the other plug out and gonna give them a little while to get dried off a little bit while I drink my coffee then I will go get them put in my bathroom brooder box and take pics.

Excellent sbrown! You did great! Sweet little chickies!
Sounds great monita! First things first - COFFEE!!!

I'm trying to get my LG still air to behave! I'll be hatching in it next week & was wondering if anybody had any tips on how to get the $@&?!$ thing to stabilize the temp?! It's on a level floor in dim room. No sunlight gets to it. Maybe I'm not waiting long enough to get a proper reading after adjusting?

ok there are only 12 babies instead of 14. here are the 12 that have already hatched..... I have 2 more pipped and then 2 more unzipping now. they aren't all dry and fluffy yet but they were dry enough to get out of the bator and into the brooder.
