Does anyone else's chickens look like drowned rats? Gah, and then they stand oblivious to the fact they're right under a huge dripping branch. The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

Whew! That's great news. Hope I have the same luck. I have chicks on day 22 tomorrow and they're from the incubator that fell open. Hope I see something happening tomorrow!

I have lav silkies, Wheaten Marans, Wheaten Ameraucanas and Black Copper Marans in there. I'll be so bummed if nothing hatches. I bought a new incubator to hatch in because I went a little crazy and couldn't lockdown in my regular ones. I have a Genesis Hovabator. People seem to like them but I'm used to being able to see a computerized temp and humidity. I've been spoiled! I assume this one is right but it's nervewracking! On the plus side, it hold a lot of eggs for lockdown! I'd love to wake up to some peeping, pipping, zipping or chirping!

I think my F in Law has the Genesis Hovobator. His Marans have presented to be a hatching challenge for him. I personally think his hatch rate is a little low. Alot of the eggs develop, but never hatch out. I'm not sure of his percentages. The top does come off easily......
I ordered me a new Brinsea but it's not here yet.

I want to share a miracle with you, all my chickens grew bills and are now quacking. Who knew?!?!

Enough with the rain already!!!

Humidity. If they develop and do not hatch it is nutrition and/or humidity.
