Nature-Themed Hatch-Along

[newchickychick]

Lemme know if any dinosaurs hatch and I may have to make room for some of those special egg deals

Jokes aside, I'll have to keep an eye out.

Ahaha yes! Absolutely I will. Honestly for it being our first time ever hatching with our almost-ready set, if even 1 hatches, I'll be super happy because I know shipped eggs can be tough to incubate depending on the conditions. I usually like to math out "okay if (30% or less) hatch of this batch, will it make up for the cost of the eggs? If yes, I've jumped on it. Like from our incubating batch from Cackle, we've got 7/12 growing. If they all hatch, we "saved" two to three times what we would've spent on day old chicks. If just two particular ones hatch, that's the cost we spent on all 12 eggs! And definitely it's that case with the 48 eggs! Shipping was a little more on top of it but so, so worth it for the number of chickens. There's some fun barnyard mix ones I've seen start at $1 too!

Those first two got snagged a short bit ago. You're more than welcome to pick some others instead?

I had to readjust our little dividers for our eggs on the line of Jungle Fowl Bantams so I did a quick sneak candle on one. Development! Then I was curious and did a quick candle on all of the rest of them as I was resetting the dividers so they wouldn't roll around in the turner. The BBR is 50/50 for me (unskilled eyes) but the Jungle Fowl Bantams are all showing full development. Mind blown! Hoping this bodes well for the entire batch! Seeing those ITTY BITTY little embryos blew my mind. And very obvious spider veins! Wow! Now to be patient for day 7 checks on everyone.

@newchickychick Wow that IS a big load of eggs!

Are there any eggs left? If so, "Chef's Choice", you pick the eggs. A few assorted names... "Mesa", "Tundra", and "Alpine". Oh and let me know if you need help with editing!
