These are my march babies! They're adorable. Two weeks old.

Look at the comb on this guy compared to the others!

#3 I feather sexed as male after hatch. Not that I knew what I was doing.

What do you guys think? I hope at least one is a girl.

Hard to say for sure, but they all look like boys to me. Give it several weeks keep taking pictures

I was really hoping you'd disagree with me.

Awesome! I hope you'll get your eggs soon. I am very happy to report that I have not ONCE touched my legbar eggs since they went in.. And that was Wednesday!

I can't keep my humidity where I want it though, it seems to keep getting stuck around 30% so far. Not panicked yet but I may have to break out the tape at some point.

My humidity stayed between 30-38% for most of my last hatch, then I kept it around 68-72% during lock down..... best hatch I've had yet.

That's great to hear. I broke down and candled today, just day 4. Honestly they all looked like crap to me but I'm gonna chalk it up to I should have waited. I'll try again end of the week..

In my opinion, your temp is a little low and the humidity is too high. If it were me, I'd get the temp to 101.5-102, and vent the airflow and try to get the humidity down to 30 at the most.
Good luck with it. You'll find what works for you. It's going to take a few hatches to figure it all out for yourself.

I'm soooooo happy to see this thread still going! I've been on the April thread but I'm having a difficult time following it.

I haven't been able to get on BYC for awhile due to work. However since the last time I visited I set 47 silkie cross eggs (some are full silkies), of those 20 developed. 1 died before the 7 day candle and a second died between 7 and 10 days. I'm going to eggtopsy that one today, the first one my husband threw away before I had a chance. I waited till today to toss the clears and good thing too because I had 2 more develop that I did not find on the 7 day check. I think all the others were infertile, I'll be checking. The person that I got the eggs from has only 3 bantam roosters in with 40 plus LF hens so I didn't expect much. Overall I'm delighted, my DH isn't so much

Hopefully in a little over a week I will be able to post baby pics
