Compost King
Free Ranging
I hatched out 36 eggs, 2 died while pipping, 7 did not hatch... 2 I was certain were not going to hatch going into lock down but kept them anyways. I still have 5 in the incubator and leaving them there until I have time to clean the incubator just in case they still hatch. I already sold 9 dominiques and gave away 6 Ayam cemani Culls. Delivered them to the customer (regular customer 2 neighborhoods away so she gets free delivery) and I gave her some Dominique hatching eggs for her broody too. I have too many saved up for the incubator so I figured I would give her some. If she is already buying so much from me I figure anything I won't be using like excess hatching eggs can go away for free. It was my first time delivering to her and it was kinda cool to see that half her chickens were birds I either hatched, raised or gave to her as hatching eggs.
80% hatch rate, my highest ever. I am usually a 50% guy. Seems the less I worry about the less I do to screw it up and the better the hatch rate... that and using my own eggs instead of someone else tends to increase hatch rate
