Mille Fleur D'uccle Hatch-Along! Hatch date April 25, 2021!

[topochico225]

Hey y'all!

I'm so excited to be independently incubating eggs for the first time! I'm setting 12 MFDU Bantam eggs from a farmer friend on Thursday. This is for a science project for Biology, and I'll be keeping 2 of the hatchlings. I'll be updating this thread as the incubation progresses!

Feel free to join me in hatching some beautiful chicks!

Macklemore is still zipping, but Margot is active and peeping! Leaving her in until I get back from church this morning. You can already see Margot's cheek boofs, @EmmaRainboe @chickentrains

BOOF.

I’m wanna hatch some eggs next year after my chicks I’m getting in June start laying. I still have a lot to learn about hatching and incubating eggs, I know nothing. Please keep this thread updated with pictures and stuff.

Just plugged in the bator, set humidity/temp/turning settings, and I'm letting it run a day ahead of setting the eggs! I get them tomorrow. I got the small egg insert for the bator, too.

Good luck!

Just set the eggs! The ones marked with an H were dipped in hydrogen peroxide as well as water. Hatch date should be April 24, 2021 if all goes well!

You could setup the brooder now and have it the way you want it so you don't have to fuss with it on hatch day.

I hope you have a independent hygrometer to see if the incubator is set correctly for temperature and humidity.

Yes, the hygrometer will be here tomorrow. BrinseaUS actually replied to a thread of mine and said they ran that bator dry until lockdown and it was fine.

Always double check to give yourself peace of mind.
