Well, I have 2 babies and 3 I am still hoping for. Out of 21 eggs I had 5 fully developed chicks in eggs, the rest were either duds or didn't fully develop. I have 3 in the incubator for 1 more day, if I don't see piping then it is over.
I don't know what I did wrong? I kept the temp between 100 and 102 the whole time. Humidity between 50 and 65% till these last few days then I had to add dishes of water to get it higher for the hatch. Then the temp spike (109) I just don't understand it. My hubby says that the heater in the incubator is just like a fish tank heater, unreliable. Well, I will be trying again in march, getting 9 Araucana and 4 Salmon Faverolle. I hope I can get this one right.
Anyway here are the 2 successful hatched chicks.......
