March Hatch-A-Long

[Chicksnmind]

Out of 18 eggs that were shipped to me I have 5 that made it that are healthy, and out of two from my own chickens 1 made it.

I have a 6th shipped chick that still is struggling . It’s not looking good at this point but I’m not giving up on it.

The lone silkie is a riot. Makes me think it’s a boy. Right now it’s the boss. I had to separate it at one point so the others could get rest and it jumped out of the plastic shoe container twice to get back to them.It was the first out at day 19 and has hardly slowed down since.

Just a quick update on my March hatch of Silverudd's Blue (previously called Isbar) eggs: 7 of 8 made it out! The 8th never pipped internally and looked to be about 2 days behind the others...but I'm definitely not complaining.

Looks like this will be my last chick for March. 12/13 New Hampshires hatched and 2/3 Dominiques. I'll toss the last 2 eggs tomorrow if they don't make progress overnight.

I ended up opening the last three in my incubator and they were all DIS.

My last chick is doing so much better! Still not out of the woods yet but I’m hopeful .

Pictures later

No more eggs hatched so I only have 3 chicks. Worst hatch rate ever! All the other eggs have fully formed chicks inside so I just don't understand why do many failed to hatch. Humidity was kept at 68 during lockdown so not that. Very dissapointing

I only had 3 chicks this hatch which is my worse hatch rate in along time. It’s disappointing but it’s still early year. I’m guna do another hatch this month at some point.

I can hear peeps coming from the incubator! Yeeey! I can't see any pips yet, but it might be hard te see because of all the baskets in there. Humidity is 74, i hope that will do and i'm so excited to welcome these new chicks!

Brooder is ready to go! I'm just washing my food bowls and drinking nipples and everything is set for the peeps to come! I'm so hoping for a good result!

Lockdown day! Actually did it a few hours early and i'm glad there is already one pip and the rest have rolled out of the lines i'd arranged them in.

Wow, that is early! day 18?

Alot of my eggs are small 40ish grams so I was expecting some early activity.
Two are 60 gram so those should be more on schedule.

Wow, that is early! day 18?

Had a late hatching duckling, so ended up with 6/9 rather than 5, so that’s cool. Last lockdown for a few weeks is tomorrow! It’s an important one for me, so I’m really hoping it goes well!
10 Silver Appleyard eggs going in out of 12 (2 early quitters) and 2 candled questionable to me, so we’ll see how it goes.

I borrowed a few baby bunnies from my parents and did an Easter photo shoot with some family.
Thought you all might appreciate a few of the ones that didn’t turn out lol
