October Hatch-A-Long

[Iko127]

Duck eggs on day 25!! Excited and nervous to see what happens... my broody has never hatched eggs since I have known her, but has been broody many times. I am sure she'll be a natural, maybe just shocked that a duckling or 2!!?? is finally hatching. I'll be checking Thursday and Friday to see how they're doing. I will need to move her out of the chicken coop where she made her nest.

Silkies and Seramas on day 3... saw the very start of one silkie egg today... so excited!! I had the temp a degree too low... forgot to raise it again after lockdown last time... oops. There are so many details that I usually forget one!

Yay!! I hope she gets to have a couple!! Good luck! So far mine are doing great Big difference in eggs from close by instead of shipped eggs! The end result is what I want to see though! I have a second bator I borrowed from my father n law!! I can get into big trouble this way though

. I plan to just hatch in one and incubate with turner in the other. I'm also trying new this hatch with keeping my temp at 99/100. I will also only get humidity at lock down to 50. Eventually maybe I will figure it out! lol My humidity though with no water has been at 30 this time since we had soooo much rain. Good luck with hatching and can't wait to see babies!!!

Hatch day tomorrow!

Think it might be for us too because broodies often hatch on day 20. Exciting isn't it!

All my hatch died. The last egg has a blood ring around if so I think it died

Woke up this morning and checked the piped at wrong end egg.. Nothing, as it was 24 hours I took it out and check, Chick died, looks like it drowned. I know it happens but for it to be the first one just frustrates me... Rewet the sponge strips and checked the other 23 eggs and they all look great, should start seeing some action tomorrow which will be day 20
