final count! of 32 to lockdown, 29 hatched and 3 died in shell near day 20-21. they were partially absorbed, 2 were malpositioned and couldnt get out but 1 did internally pip and never made it out...
overall I am very happy with how many I got! there are still a couple drying off in the smaller brooder, but here are some photos of almost everyone
Day 16 on the next batch. Only 6 eggs in that one!
after that I am getting some more eggs from a lady...
soon!!!
these are mostly mixed breeds! some BCMxWyandotte from my flock, they just look like BCM's mostly. the rest are primarily Lav Marans (dad) mixes, on BCMs and a few other breeds. I wish I knew what the blue ones were. and the red ones! any ideas? (blue with red head is a lav marans, but IDK what the pure blues are. feathered legs)
Wow! Very nice hatch! Can you tell me what the yellow "shelf" is for? Also, is the red light a flourescent heat bulb? I've never seen a red bulb like that.
