MARCH 2021 HATCH-A-LONG 🌷🌸🌼

[LadiesAndJane]

Alright all you hatchaholics, newbies and experienced alike, let’s celebrate Spring by hatching out some chicks!
Join here if you like!
I will be setting 25 shipped silkie eggs, lavender, paint and BBS, as soon as the permits clear (Hawaii requires them) and the breeder collects them. Expecting them to get here by the end of February!

Sounds like a lot of silkie chicks this go round! Can't wait to see everybodys' fluff nuggets!
Attached a photo from my silkies fresh out of the incubator last May to tide us over!

I messaged the seller about the broken guinea eggs just in case they can make a claim, they said they haven't had any breakages before so asked for photos to see what went wrong which I provided. They genuinely feel sorry and have offered another dozen with extra padding for the costs of postage!!!! Of course I will say yes.
I'm shocked as I have never been offered replacements nor ever expected to be

It’s day 6 for my call duck eggs. Just candled and took pictures. Looking good. 8/9 are developing! Only 20 days to go!
Number 7 is the clear. I tossed it today.

Woke up to this - they did all the work while I tried to catch some Zzzzzs.

That's ten successful hatchings so far, an 11th that's externally pipped, and #12 was a quit. Thus ends my March hatchings. Will start again soon for April, likely tomorrow after things are clean and sanitized.

/edit #11 is hatched

Still debating between another thing of chickens, or doing a hatching of ducks.

I woke up to 7 more chicks hatched. Most look like Wyandotte or possibly mixed. Also found 1 possible pure lavender Orpington.



Half more of my hatch to go.

Just got home from work and found 3 of my 6 have started to pip!!! It’s almost as good as watching my kid be born. I’m so excited
