May 2020 Hatch-A-Long

[FortCluck]

I am pretty sure more chickens is the gift my husband does NOT want for Father's day .

Unless....they are laced polish.

How about a golden laced Polish Deathlayer

What man wouldn’t want a chicken that is called a Deathlayer

Why can’t you live closer

Was there any movement at all?

Lightly move the eggs in a circle motion in your fingers and check to see if there is movement. If there is no movement they may have all passed away due to various reasons.

Are the eggs from your flock?

You can always do eggtopsies, but you want to make a hole in the air cell first then check to see if the chick is moving inside the membrane. You should be able to see them breathing. If you see that then I would go ahead and do assists if it has been more than 24 hours after their hatch date. You also want to check to see if the veins have receded, if not then the chick is not ready to be assisted.

Can you post pics of your candling?

some have veins and others don't

some have veins and others don't

Ones that don’t I’d assume have passed away if there’s no movement. Ones that do have veins could still not be alive, you’d need to verify movement.

We named the Deathlayer roosters Ozzy and Dio because they needed rocker names
