Late Feburary-Early March 2016 Hatch-A-Long!

[Danielle2189]

I am sorry Sharon for your loss. I thought you would have some chickens.  Are these your own eggs? Do you have any idea where the hatch may have went wrong?  

Glad she is progressing in her healing!  There are cochins on here all the time for auction. Check out the auction section of the website and PM a member who sells. I have never had any issues with BYC members. 


I am sorry I have not been around much. I was out of state for the  weekend and my sisters house is thick stone with terrible wi-fi. I had two Honas and one flowers chick surprise me when I got home.  Staggered hatch chicks that got put in the wrong tray...

I put some eggs in lockdown. I have 13 due Thursday and a crew due Saturday too. Humidity I keep at 51% for hatch and turn the cooling cycle off and remove them from the turners.  I kinda screwed up the staggered hatch because I set them too close. Problem with waiting for shipped eggs and timing their arrival. 

Thanks! I'll have to check those auctions out. Congrats on the new chickies! Sounds like you're going to have an exciting week!

Long story short... Had a hen sitting on eggs due on many dates, and she hatched five of those about 7 days ago. Two remained, so I put them in the RCOM20 at 25% humidity, one hatched two days ago and has been moved to a new hen. The second egg, which is oddly shaped, pipped internally late last night or this morning. Will try to get some pictures of it later.

Guess maybe I should raise the humidity.

Day 19 passed quietly. I opened the bator at the beginning of Day 20 to put the covers on my trays so chicks won't fall if they get out of their tray. Lots of visible pips, but I didn't count them, I wanted the door closed as quickly as possible. Cheeps abound, tomorrow at 3:00pm I hope to have some dry chicks.

The egg has pipped!

Seems silly to run the RCOM for three mutt eggs that will probably be roosters.
