Spring Chick Hatch!

[karimw]

Update! I candled at 8 days and only removed 3 clears:

12 Lavender Ameraucanas from Crystal Creek - Setting 10 out of the 12. 2 showed no development, but the others look good!
7 Welsummer X EE - Lost one of these to a stupid fumble fingers

Cracked beyond repair, I opened it to see the still beating heart

3 Welsummer X White AM
12 EE X EE
12 AM X EE - 1 clear, it had started to grow but stopped.
1 BSL X EE
5 IA Blue pullet eggs - All developing! Hooray!

Setting 54!

I see all the reports of bad hatches - I just assumed I'd be weeding it down to a manageable level! Fortunatley I have plenty of room

Right now is a perfect time for selling chicks too. You can put an add on craigslist stating "taking orders now for bla blab la" and sell all the ones you don't want.

I won't have any trouble dealing with surplus even if I can't get them sold

My DH is grumping about not having enough in the freezer.

Locked down 50 tonight!

Day 20 and I have pips and peeps in the bator!!! I counted at least a dozen including 2 CrystalCreek Lavender AMs and 2 Iowa Blues! It's going to be a LOOOONG day at work.
