September Hatch-A-Long!

[AandAranch]

My silver button quail just hatched out a little yellow chick! I wasnt really putting too much hope into it (and if it did happen, I was expecting it two days from now) What a pleasant surprise to turn around and see a little chick peeking at me from beneath its mama's wing. I love it!

Looks like we will have almost the same hatch day!!!! Yeah so exciting! Good luck hope you get a a lot of fluffy butts!! I have 29 that have movement (30 if you count the twins) and 2 I can't tell)!!!

I am not sure, I have one Leghorn egg that was quite large. I candled before setting it and thought there was only one yolk. Now on day 15 I almost think I see shadows that look wrong - like maybe there is two in there. But I am not sure - because there is also still a lot of space in there and it seems like a large egg with 2 chicks would still be pretty full by now ?? We'll see - either way - good luck with yours!

Thank you! I have two definite chicks you can see them separately both sets of eyes and their both moving around! Just nervous first hatch and I've never assisted I have been hitting up you tube watching videos! Good luck on your hatch as well that would be awesome if your was twins too!!!

Day 18 here with my mixed rare breeds. I hate waiting, LOL! I candled one last time and saw clear movement in all but one (I think Lavender) Orpington. So fingers crossed maybe all 9 will make it. This is my first hatch NOT using the dry hatch method. I kept the humidity around 45% the first 18 days (as was recommended by the breeder I got the eggs from based on her experience) and now 65 - 70% Come on chickies!!

Fingers crossed for you happy hatching!!!

What a day.  All 83 chicks medicated.  Containers, waterers, feeders sterilized.  Sick chicks seperated into different rooms.  Biggest pasty butt ever cleaned.  (I don't know how it got that big so fast.  I just checked them all a few hours ago.)  2 of today's hatch needed chick podiatry.  One had curled toes and one had spay leg with one curled toe.  One in a boot and one with splinted toes and legs connected.  All of my eggs candled.  I have everything to make a new roost for my big girls, they broke the old one.  I have new buckets to start a few  more batches of wine.  An d I got a bunch of free wood from Home Depot that I'm going to use to build a couple small coops for my Legbars and Langshans.  Most importantly, I took my medication, chocolate peanut butter ice cream.  Finally, bedtime.

OMG, I hope you at least slept in, LOL!
