Should I count my losses now

Getting a little crowded in there

Day 22
Welsummer 2 out of 7 have hatched
BCM 8 out of 14 have hatched
Olive Egger 1 out of 1 have hatched
Orpingtons 8 out of 12 have hatched

All but 1 chick (BCM) have moved to the brooder

I'll leave the unhatched in a couple more days to see if any action

Thank you!
The only one I was a little disappointed in was the Welsummers.
I'm VERY pleased with the Orpingtons. Now if I can just figure out what colors they are

Yeah, it’s sad more Welsummers didn’t hatch but maybe next time? The Orpingtons did really well! When they get a little older I can try to help with colors. I’m not great at it but I can try. Or I can tag some people who know more than me.

I'd appreciate that alot! They came from a hens choice, silver laced, lavender, chocolate, chocolate laced, jubilee, and not sure what else.
I have 6 more Welsummers from another breeder in the incubator. Hope they do a little better.
And I'm still waiting for my cream legbars

Those sound like some nice colors! They might end up mixed colors or patterns though if they were all running together?

Hopefully your other Welsummers do better!!!

And the cream legbars.

Ya, I'm not sure. The seller disappeared off Ebay and I can't even see the original listing. My understanding at the time was they were all separate.
For the condition those eggs arrived in, im surprised I got such a good hatch.
Seems the washing them didn't affect them much at all

Ohhhh okay. That’s weird they disappeared off EBay. But glad you got a good hatch regardless!!!
