So I promised to update. My New Years hatch is complete. Terrible results from the LG. Am going to stick to my hovabator until I can afford a better one. Only hatched 3 out of 12 Empordanesa. The peeping chick I heard last night did not make it. I'm thinking I should have helped him out. Checked this morning and he was developed but dead. The rest of the eggs were quitters or never even started. I opened them up just to be sure. But the 3 chicks I do have are thriving, so thats the good part!

Ohhhhh... Sho Shweet!!

You know, that 2nd pick just made the avatar that says "Drink coffee or you'll get hair on your feet" pop into my head.

I put my little chick that couldnt walk right in a sock and set her up right in the bator for a few hours.... .Just took her out of the sock and now she's walkin normal!! So two barred rocks first hatch!! On to the next eggs!

After lockdown, every single egg in the Advance hatched, but I did have to help two and they are alive and kicking.

Lost 6 eggs in the Hovabator. my 2 GC Marans, 1 EE and 3 FBCMs.

i'm keeping both now that I know all the secrets

never in a million years would I have expected to get 41 chicks from that hatch before it started my goal was at least 20, figured I'd be very happy with 30 and its really what I wanted.

They are beautiful, I've given away three.... a pure blue wheaten chick, a FBCMarnand and designer GC Marans X Delaware ... it's gonna look just like the GC Marans and could easily pass as one!

I just hatched my first batch from my New Brinsea. I had hatching but not results like yours.... - wondering what i could do better....

Just curious - What humidity did you run your Brinsea at?

I just put silkies in last night to hatch and have buckeyes, GC Marans and BC Marans ready to go in on the 9th. Then I am going to stop. Hahahahahah thats what all addicts say right?

I wish there was a ban button to stop us from getting more eggs
