Peafowl for 2013

[zazouse]

Since this one was 2 days early, I knew that I could not leave it in the incubator until Friday, so I had to take it out of the incubator. It took about 5 seconds for me to take him out and the lid was back on. No other eggs had started zipping, so there shouldn't be and shrink wrap. I guess the other eggs will start pipping and zipping today if they haven't already. The pip that I heard the other day must have been this little fella. I wonder why he hatched 2 days early. That's way too early.

I had a few hatch the day before lockdown and a couple hatched the same day I locked them down.

Kinda makes you wonder what's going on with the eggs that some are hatching early. Especially when you put them in at the same time,

Here's my defective chick, it's another with a huge yolk sack, so it's having problems getting it's feet underneath itself. And look, it has a couple of white feathers!

Got that here, too, some hatching in 25 days, most in 26, a couple in 27, but none in 28. Next year I will take better notes.

Just curious, what day do you lock them down?

Just checked egg #75 and #76 and they look like they have pipped internally or are just about to (no peeping yet). While I was at it, I checked the other eggs and it looks like #77 and #82 are bad. Might be because I ran out of broodies and put ten eggs under this hen and some keep ketting cold.

I have it all wrapped up in a towel, so it should be okay by tonight or tomorrow morning.
