I guess I'll be joining. I have chickens due to hatch on the 1st and guineas on the 9th. I'll probably add some chickens to the bator with the guinea eggs on day 7. After that I swear I'm done for this year

Hearing about everyone's hatches is making me impatient lol! Sunday will be lockdown for the eggs in my LG. I have 36 eggs remaining from the original 40 I set in that incubator. I can't wait!!

Looks like it will be me too since my last hatch totaled 5.... I was sad, since I had set 41 eggs. At lockdown I had 36 live babies, now only 5 have hatched and today is day 24.... Unfortunately, I was hoping for at least 25 since that's how many I had on order.... GAH!!! Why oh Why are the hatching gods mad at me????

Five out of 36?? Oh no! I'm nervous about those odds since I think I only have 12 live chicks locked down.
Hope you enjoy the 5 you got.
What is your theory as to what went wrong?

That stinks! Hopefully you will have better luck with this next batch. I'm starting to get nervous about mine. I had my first batch ever hatch right before Easter in a still air LG. They were my own eggs from my mixed flock and I only hatched 8 of 20. It was more my kids' project so I wasn't very detail oriented with that hatch. I've put a fan on the LG and so far everything has gone perfectly. I'm praying that it doesn't end in disaster come lockdown. I also have another styrofoam bator with guinea eggs and a brand new Brinsea with silkies, bantam cochin, and polish. The eggs in the Brinsea were shipped and the air cells are all a horrible mess. So unfortunately my best hope for a good hatch is the LG batch.

What part of Mo you from CZ? Sorry about your poor hatch, Other than a couple mishaps I been doing good. Weather worries me since everyone is going to garage this year after fluff. And w/o heat I fear piling might take a few birds. Only lost 2 I have hatched though. 1 never would drink, but did eat. He was a sole hatch. And other was 3/4 Ba 1/4 WLH and 1/s size of the LF chicks he was with. My 2nd setting of Rouen eggs even went 7/8 so me and wife are super excited this year.

so in the end my cochin hen hatched out 7 babies and my duccle hatched out 2 but the duccle has three babies as on of the cochins seems a bit weak and slow so i gave it to the duccle so it doesn't have to wander the whole backyard only has to wander a small area till it gets some strength to it.

With all of these pips..soon we will have chicks..come on babies. Can't wait to see chicks. I have two little lonely cochin eggs going into lock down tomorrow. Crossies. And yes, I pray for my eggs/babies.
