Mahonri's 2nd Annual NYDHatch, watching them grow...

[Hens and Roos]

We started out with 38 eggs in the incubator and had 12 eggs hatch so that gives us a hatch rate of: 31.57894 % This is actually the most number of chicks we have hatched out a 1 time

OK here's my entry for cutest chick. This chick is from a Naked Neck daddy and a Dark Brahma mommy. She got the best of both worlds - hairy legs and naked neck:

Linda can you tell what color the TJ's chick is? Just so curious about what breed they might be using. So cool that it hatched. DH thinks it is pretty cool too

SGC that chick is soooo cute. I don't usually find NN's cute but that one just makes me want to get one. How the heck do you keep them warm enough up in Maine? My poor flock has been having a rough couple of days because we haven't broken freezing at all and they all have feathers on their necks.

there may be hope yet . I just came home to 7 , and while I was setting up the brooder , an 8th hatched . There are still some pipping , but the chickies have gone broody .

I need to get the ones sitting on the eggs out to see how many pips I have and if they're zipping . These chicks went through a lot and are still hatching .

Even if the other five eggs don't hatch, I'm happy. At least there are two, and one is the eggsperimental one I so wanted to attempt to hatch.

If the others don't make it, that's 2/21. Who cares - I got two!

Still nothing from my 3 E.E. eggs that made it to day 18 out of the dozen I set. They were all kinda iffy, but they looked full and veiny, so I left them.

I just locked down 10 eggs for the January 5th hatch date. They were the eggs that were supposed to arrive in time for the 11th set date.

I have

1 FBCM (10 set)
1 Bantam Araucana (9 set)
8 E.E. x polish

I am considering changing my title to Hatching Impaired!

I still don't have a pip. I did a quick candle saw a few with movement, so stuck them back in the incubator.
