Congrats on everyones progress!!! Chicks, peep, pips, zips galore!
Day 23 and I have 4 chicks
: 2 blue rocks and 2 local mystery egg chicks. I have a 5th one that is not going to make it. It's still alive, but after 24 hours it hasn't moved on its own yet (and its a splash rock
). The BCM's aren't due until tomorrow, but this hatch was late, so they might be too.
So, started with 36 eggs, finished with 4 chicks (maybe a BCM to make it 5, there is only one still moving). So hatch rates are 2/14 Blue Rocks (extra long shipping time), 2/8 local eggs (that were washed and refrigerated and unknown age), and 0-1/14 BCM. I have replacements on the Rocks and BCM's though, so hopefully I'll get a few more soon. I candled the unpipped Rock and local eggs and nothing is moving in them, I'll check one more time before tossing them.
