March 2023 hatch-a-long

That’s awesome!!!!
Mine are taking their sweet time!

They’re saying “what’s the hurry?” Mine just all happened at once, I’ve got six in the incubator just flopping all over the slowpokes, it’s kinda stressing me out

Moved everyone in the brooder, then three more hatched! I have one pipping, and not seeing anything yet in the four remaining.

One more hatched but still no signs on the other three. Day 21 is technically at 7:30pm so if all the others that have pipped hatch I’ll candle and see what’s up.

YAY! A few minutes later a pip on one of the Isabel! I will sit on my hands like a good little hatcher.

Honestly, I think this is the first time mine have all exploded at once! Sometimes it goes a day before, and I’ve left them a couple days after. They can be so stubborn

Let’s do it again!

I have more coming April lol!

Last time was my first hatch with shipped eggs. I’m trying to compare my picture dates and hatch times with this hatch and I probably shouldn’t. Lol. Maybe for data comparison after the fact but not during! Just gets me anxious!
5 hatched, 3 pipped, 2 just sitting there like eggs haha

Well, I am fixing to set more tonight for the Easter HAL, so I hope they just improve moving forward.

Kudos to all who keep such detailed data on the hatches. I might amp it up a little, so I can see what/who is most successful. I think what I’ve learned most up to this point is that wonky humidity equals wonky hatch, and I am noticing better what to look for when candling.

I’m watching these babies in the bator and they look like drunk teenagers

Guys, I seriously have one trying to zip. At the start of day 24. The one that pipped further down on the egg, not totally the wrong end so maybe the air cell has just shrunk that much. I don't have high hopes that it will make it but I'm going to wait overnight before I do anything. This hatch has been so crazy.
