This was my first attempt at incubation. I only had 5 eggs and a little giant incubator, so I wasn't expecting any miracles. Yesterday was the last day they had to hatch, and it came and went without any chicks. I float tested them today and they all floated, but before I threw them away I wanted to see if any if them developed. 4 of them were duds, but one was a fully developed chick! I must've messed up and not had the humidity high enough during lockdown.
I'm still considering if I'm gonna give this another try. I think I will in the future, but after doing some research I've concluded now is not the best time in my life to be raising fowl. I definitely learned a lot from this experience though, such as the important of an auto rotator so I don't have to set a midnight alarm to flip my babies lol.
I attached some pics of the developed chick. Even though he didn't make it I'm proud I got this far!
