September Hatch-A-Long

[Mamasaurus]

I'm happy to say I now have 2 ducks and 1 keet. I'm so hoping for another keet at least. I will post pics when I can. So far the keet is Gwennie the Guinea and the first duckling is Daffy the Duck. My brother suggested Howard for the second duckling, but I really don't like that movie. Anyone have a suggestion?

Congratulations! A keet is a parakeet???

It has to be Donald for the second duck, surely? That or Daisy!

My bryl cream girl! Must call her Beryl!

Oh, you can't see her hair in this photo. Dammit. Will try again later...before her first swim!

You threw them out because of detached are cells? I had 8 out of 10 with detached air cells, and hatched 7 so at least 5 of those eggs had their air cells detached.
Am I the only one who keeps those?

My latest batch all have detached air cells... I set all of them and two are developing. Two very expensive eggs... I hope they hatch!

started with 10
1 blood ring
1 clear
and 1 I thought was a quitter but was greeted with a 4 day chick when opened shell
1 early quitter


Have 6 going into lockdown tomorrow.
had 4 that were moving around. 1 was too dark and porous to see anything and another was just too dark.


To count my hatch rate would I count all 10 that I begun with? Of course I can't do this until I have a final hatch count. Or would I start with the 6 that go into lockdown?

You would count all but the clear egg - so 9.

I only count those going into lockdown.

They were completely clear with tiny bubbles floating every time you moved them. I opened them and they were scrambled.

A little late here but I want to join along! This is my very first hatch. I had 5 cream legbars(from a local breeder) and 8 of my own Dominique eggs that made it to lockdown. This is day 21 and so far I have had 5 Dominiques hatch and 1 Cream Legbar. I am so wanting those Cream Legbars. They are taking forever the first one hatched at 10am and it has been a steady progression. Attached is a picture around 12pm.
