MARCH 2021 HATCH-A-LONG 🌷🌸🌼

[LadiesAndJane]

So it’s day 22. I’ve left the unhatched eggs on lockdown. Since my 7 yesterday morning I’ve not even had a pip. I’m super thankful for the 7 that hatched but a bit disappointed that 15 are sitting there with not much encouragement of hatching. 12 of those eggs I bought and not one of the purchased eggs have pipped. These eggs were not shipped. I got them from a guy next county over. He ran an ad in the MS Market Bulletin for hatching eggs. Any suggestions on how long I should wait?

I would wait till at least day 24, some people wait until day 25.

Myself,
candle see if any movement, any broke into the air pocket? I go about 3 days or so after last chick hatched and toss them (candle 1 last time if preferred), or you could open them up and try to see what went wrong.
If you just has 7 yesterday you could have some slower ones coming.
I had 40 eggs last hatch. They started hatching 18th just had 4 more last night. 2 silkies had made it to the air pocket broke shell, but not membrane. I opened up small hole through membrane for air. they took about 48 hours finally last night they hatched.
Then 2 large eggs hatched I was not expecting thought they were done.

Completed is my March hatch. 22 chicks total out of five dozen (60) and 8 chicks out of the additional 2 dozen (24) that would have been a custom hatch for a customer. Total is 30 chicks from 7 dozen (84) eggs. I won't do the math in public but it's the biggest loss of eggs I've ever experienced. Not the poorest hatch (that was 0% in a GQF) but the Isbar (Silverudd's Blue) have a 100% hatch record in my Brinseas.

Meet baby number 3. Out of six eggs three have hatched. Baby number two is very week and I am not sure it will survive as it was a upside down pipped baby.

Your ducklings are precious. I hope baby #2 makes it.

I now have 9 of 11 pita eggs pipped. Day 21 starts at 8:00 pm tonight. It looks most of them should hatch on day 21. A couple might make it out just before that. I think they are starting to think about zipping. I see some beak action.
I am super excited to be adding these to my flock!!

And then there were three. Day 15 now, no shipped eggs remain. Still hopeful for these guys though and looking forward to hatching more eggs next month.
