November Hatch-a-long...

[Rose Quartz]

Woke up to a chick! They aren't due for another day and a half!!! I didn't even have the brooder inside yet. 0-0

I had 3 by 8am.

I'm running a hovabator, with 4 extra vent holes in it that I made myself, which has had it running at 37.5C as per a secondary trusted thermometer.

I'm going to have to guess it's the storm system that's got them coming out early.


All 3 were from eggs that were bought. Supposed to be Barred rock, Speckled sussex, or Rhode Island red. All 3 are silver. :? I didn't get to see the adults, my sister picked them up for me. Maybe they're BR?

Mine are about 5 days in the incubator so they should be out November 1rst or so...Maybe Halloween eggs, makes me wish I had drew a jack-o-lantern design on them all

Good luck with those Nov. hatches everyone! I just put 25 shipped egg's in mine this evening that should be due Nov. 6th. My incubator was already on and up to speed because I already had 11 egg's from my flock in there that should start hatching Oct. 26th. Yes, I'm doing a split hatch again!

I also have a dbl yolk I assume. I put it in because...well just because. Lol

So, would that affect a hatch? Should I pull it out? Will a second yolk just sit unabsorbed? How does that work if it's a double yolk??

You can get twins. I set a double yolker by accident and have twins in the incubator right now.

I have never seen anyone get twins to successfully hatch, it would be nice to see it in this hatch a long

You might see it in the October one or in this one. One of us should be able to do it! I know my egg is extra large and there's enough room for both in it.
