May 2021 Hatch - A - Long

[bethpr]

That is for shipped eggs. If a broody was incubating them, you’d kill them waiting 24 hours.

Phew, thank goodness I didn't then!

Now my incubator is full, and I'll be having a split hatch with 5 due on May 10th, and the rest of them due on May 21st.

Today is officially day 1 for my 12 EE eggs. I plan to sell these babies, but as a science experiment my 12 year old daughter and I are going to try to feather sex two of them, keep them and see if we were right.....just for fun. I *think* this is my last hatch for the season. Our April hatch was a 100% hatch rate, hopefully we can do it again!

I have a split hatch, also- and they are all in same incubator. (I didn't put cold eggs in the incubator with the all ready developing eggs, *tee-hee* I had the cold eggs in a still air incubator until they warmed up. 24 + hrs.)
When it is time for lock down I am removing the younger develop eggs to the still air incubator, so the lockdown eggs can hatch at the right humidity.

I doubt it. You need more.

That's how I'll be doing mine also, but I'll only be moving my lock-down batch into the 2nd incubator because there's less of them to have to move.

Well Day 20 is ending now for me. I have 4 Swedish Flower chicks out & the Leghorn/Brahma chick. Two of the SF chicks are black & white, two are blue & brown, and my sister in law’s Leghorn/Brahma looks blue. Hoping a few more hatch overnight!

I thought I heard the quail peeping, but it was just birds outside.

 

[BullChick]

Ummmmmm, the app says the chicks are due tomorrow, not Wednesday. The broodies are of course okay, and the quail are fine too. At least I won’t have to wait so long.

Day 20 here - I have one pipping and expect the others to follow suit later today
