Well, that will show me! I am so wrapped up in my Easter hatch and other things going on, I forgot to put some eggs in confinement. I found 9 hatched, partially hatched, and stuck solid chicks in one of the LGs yesterday, and it looks like 4 died in the shell because they couldn't get in the right position to pip due to the low humidity- all bantam Faverolles. I feel awful.

I'm now setting alarms on my Android for all future clutches, because I can't keep straight the gazillions of staggered hatches anymore. Particularly when I'm setting ten to a hundred or so at a time.

I did catch the 15 that needed to go into confinement yesterday, and they're set to go. Of the ones that survived my negligence, I managed to end up with a few from my Lavender bantam Faverolles project and several Partridge Chanteclers, a Lav Orp, and some Silkies. I think there may be a Porcelain d'Uccle in there, too...
