Not having very good luck for my first time around.
shipped Lavenders 12 set - 5 made it to lock-down under broody - 1 hatched then mauled by broody - hoping it will make it. It was the last to hatch. It is in my house in a box next to the incubator with food, water and heat lamp. Not sure if it will make it.
BBS started local - 12 put under broody - 1 egg broke in nest broody tore it open, chick didn't make it. 2 Blue, 2 black, 1 splash hatched. Broody killed the splash. but she is doing good with the other 4 chicks. the Blues and blacks were the first to hatch and were 2 days ahead of the splash and lavender. Moved rest of the 10 eggs to incubator to hatch. 1 was chirping in the egg when I put it in. No external pip yet.
Lavender local - 4 eggs in the incubator and on lock down today.
BBS local - 2 eggs in the incubator and on lock down today.

That makes 16 eggs in the incubator hopefully some will hatch.

Tossed out the last 4 shipped Lavender eggs. So sad one had piped when it was under Dash I was hoping to save it but it was dead.

Took out the 3 chicks that hatched.
The rest are due by Sunday 10-2.

My Lavender chick did not make it. It died sometime during the night. It is a sad morning in our house.
