May 2020 Hatch-A-Long

Hmm, maybe just do a few from the same hen and one from another hen as the control?

I put in 2 Red Deathlayer eggs (RSL/DL) and 1 RIR Deathlayer. I think they’re all fertile. I never hatch those because I didn’t like the combo with Squatch.

The other two broodies ran out to take care of business. Here are five chicks, and the sixth just popped under her.

Do u have a good example for curled toes.. mine came off so I need a better way

I found this article to be extremely helpful with dealing with curly toes! I used the sticky parts of bandaids...took a while to get them off but they worked.

Hello Everyone,
I had 15 Serama eggs and on day 19, 1 hatched. Today is day 21. How long should I wait before for the others to MAYB

I remember commercials about it

I remember my mom going to classes and I would put the Mousercise (Mickey Mouse version of Jazzercise) record on the record player and do that when I was little. LOL!! (I just turned 39 by the way.....I know "record player" sounds ancient! )

No tinkering here! Candled at day 5, 10, 14 and 18. Then they were moved from being fat end up to laying on their side. The incubator also has an automatic turner and external water inlet so no hand-turning and no need to open on lockdown. Everything was done to the letter that's what I can't figure out?
I think the only think to do like you say is try a different breeder as both sets came from the same place.

You might have already answered this and I just forgot....but do you have a secondary thermometer and hydrometer inside your incubator to cross check your incubators controls temp and humidity? Sometimes the incubator itself is off.

Three more babies hatched out with one more working itself out of the egg.
