I have a baby!!! My Black bantam silkie egg one hatched!!! I am so happy!!!!it stays alive!
Again, thanks so much. Another great article that cleared up a couple of things for me. I do have a hard time with the humidity level. We've had rain and just damp, yucky weather lately and my humidity level is all over the place. I candled my iffy eggs yesterday and ended up removing two with more than obvious blood rings...cracked them open and confirmed that I'm starting to interpret things correctly. That leaves me 40 in the bator and 15 days to go!Wow 45?! That is crazy awesome!! You are going to have a great hatch I'm guessing...
. Doesn't assisting look scary? I have done intervened for only two eggs and I was a nervouse wreck by the end. Maybe it gets easier with more experience...but I'm sure you won't have to do any of that stuff. Here is another article that I really liked about dry hatching. It made me feel a lot better about not keeping the humidity perfect at all times. https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/incubation-cheat-sheet I love how many great articles have been written by people who have so much hatching experience. And some of them if emailed are said to even respond and walk you through assisted hatches, which is so kind hearted of them!
those are really, REALLY gorgeous eggs! What breed is laying those beautiful blue ones for you?Well I tucked this motley crew of barnyard mixes into lockdown a day early, as I will be gone for a couple days. Wish me luck!
. Thanks and we are happy to be on board !
