Success at last! After trying to incubate and hatch Sebrights since June I have finally got two chicks to survive. I hatched out a bunch, but they all died a within a week of hatching. My last batch of eggs for the year hatched last week. I actually forgot about the eggs and never put them into lockdown so only 2 of 8 chicks piped. They were shrink wrapped, so I broke them out and washed them off. I truly did not expect them to make it. Their toes were crooked, so I had to tape them up. Because of this I kept them in the incubator and did not move them to the brooder. Both of them are doing fine and their feet have straightened right out. All my other sebright chicks died after I moved them to the brooder, so now I am thinking that sebright chicks need to be kept in the incubator a lot longer the regular chicks. I think I will keep them in the incubator for 3 weeks before moving them to the brooder just in case.
