well that's what I say...dang...been busy all morning with 2 of my precious faverolles....they are waning! one seems to have wry neck...giving them strong vitamins but they are limp!! this is the hard part of hatching...I was peering in the hatcher at my Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucana eggs and decided to replace the batteries in my flashlight and do one last candling at day 19. Down from 15 to 13 eggs. STILL phenomenal considering I only bought 12Previously with shipped eggs I have a 5 out of 112 eggs set success rate while I have a nearly 100% hatch rate with my own and local eggsNo more quitters babies, you hear me??? all you need to do is hatch now - and then STAY HEALTHY!!
the trouble is limited to that breed...the others seem to be thriving! I am having a little trouble keeping the temps up for them this morning...my heat lamp isn't enough...I microwaved the neck thing while I run to walmart for a heating pad!
