May 2020 Hatch-A-Long

[CluckNDoodle]

41 Barnyard beauties. Made me learn more things. New things this hatch, my diy incubator needs more humidity. Too many shrink wraps. Had one chick with it over its eye, I did NOT remove that. (It is gone now) . One "hatched" over night by opening the egg 1/2 inch. Then dried there, the exterior down was dry, I helped it out just had a little attachment to the wing.

Cuties all

Just a little scared of me for the photo. 12 are already gone to there forever homes.

Wow! Congrats on a great hatch!

Can’t wait to get home and see how many chicks hatched... I’m so excited I’m a grandma to my chickens

My total hatch is 19, I had four late bloomers!

So final tally on the “Lavender“ ameraucanas: two blue and one black! I think the breeder may have pulled the eggs from the blue/black/splash pen instead of the lavender/black lavender split pen! Oh well they are cute nonetheless I love their little owly faces!
See some of you in the June hatch-along! Trying again, will likely have two dozen ameraucanas, hopefully some self blue (lavender) this time! Luckily I have buyers for any surplus ones that I don’t keep!

On a positive note I have 16 cute little peeps in the brooder for the turkey to hang out with. lol
The solid black chick is definitely an imposter and not a Millie.

Weighed all the Cream Legbar eggs this morning (day 15) - best I can tell they're all at least mostly on schedule having lost about 3-4% of their weight over the last week. I do have one that's only lost about 2g, so may be a quitter (should be 3-4g.)

Sorry I was attempting to multitask (multitasking is a myth I decided..) and did not finish my post. Meant to say, I would love to see photos of your silkie hatch if you have time. So fun to see their coloring. I was hoping for a paint in my hatch, but it looks like you may have one! Will be fun to see how this one ends up!
