March Hatch-Along Thread- Come Hatch With Us!!!!!

[TheH Klan of 10]

I removed the chicks from the bator this morning since today is day 3 of life for at least 2 of them. I made sure there were no pips in any of the other eggs. I left the bator on and about an hour later heard chirping coming from my room, yup I missed one! There were so many chicks in te bator sitting all over the eggs I didn't notice one was completing zipped! I ended up helping it a little, he is still trying to pop the lid.

That is great!!!!
I would like to see pics of the fluffy buddies!!

Wo
Wow day 20!! Is it normal for eggs to hatch b4 21 days!!!
I am so excited for you that is awesome!!!

I have heard that temp spikes can sometimes cause early hatching (not always a good thing) there was a few times that happened with this hatch, that's all I can think for the early birds!

Quote: Yep, temp spikes can have them hatching early and silkie and other bantam types like to hatch a little early too before the LF eggs.

I got chicks hatching 3/17 and 3/27

 

[Maah]

Left the house for the first time in two days (only bc I had to!!) and came home in time for this:


My little Bobbi Porto White silkie!!! Day 20 is going amazing!!!!!!

Awesome!!!

My first set of silkies hatched on day 20 as well. I heard it was cuz they were bantam, and the small ones tend to come earlier. But then my 2nd set of silkies hatched on day 21.

Ya know I have been thinking.... I am really liking this hatch thing .... I don't have any chicks yet but yet I can't wait to put on a bunch more to hatch once these ones r out of the bator .... A lot of u folks live n the city and are limited on how many birds u can keep .... The thing that bothers me is I live in the country my husband is a builder and I can get great eggs within 1/4 mile for 2.50 per dozen to hatch ...... This doesn't make a good combination !!!!! Lol

This is a bad thing? I think it's awesome! Bring 'em on! LOL.

Congrats to you on your new babies! I have only 8 due this hatch.

Everyone- thank you for all of the kind words prayers and thoughts for my son. Took him to dr and they did more blood work. We will have it back by noon tomorrow. He is doing better just weak. Dr said no school for rest of week. So bought him new sky landers to keep him busy. ( like he don't already have wnough. Besides that he has already beat the game) oh well. What ever make him happy.

I am so sorry to hear about loosing your three ducks. I am doing ducks soon. I just love them.

Living out in country too and you having a husband who can build. Girl you got it made. You will get addicted. I have over 80 chickens and 10 ducks! 2 horses 1 cow and I love them all!

Wow, started just over a week ago, and 669 replies!! Too many to read thru, lol.

Ok, I hatched chicks out a week and a half ago. I hatched 6 white leghorns, 2 heritage RIR's and 3 cuckoo marans X chicks. Now I have the bator full of some real nice stuff! My very first purchased heritage hatching eggs! I have 12 black copper marans, 6 silver sussex, 3 blue copper marans, 3 buff brahma's..... and a few of my own; 5 Jersey Giant eggs, and 1 cuckoo marans cross (out of a mutt hen). Hatching day is March 22/13. I managed to get 30 eggs into my Brinsea Oct. 20!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So excited!! Heres a pic of the two RIR's. Adorable!!
