There is a pip in one of the Serama eggs!!!!!!!! Day 19.
I wasn't going to set for this one, but I now have 4 eggs between 2 Broodies, so I'm in.
you are going to make me figure out your bday on three hours of sleep, your so cruel
whats 11 plus 21?
So May 2nd?
and a good looking pip too!!
awwwww pretty chicks!!
The little one above this is a hona/isbar cross. He presents all hona but is not!
So, this is some of the pics of the cross chicks that I hatched this weekend. I sold over 30+ of them and these guys are still left. It was my first offering of my chicks to the public this way. Lots of wonderful families came out to pick out their new members.
I did learn a lot from this experience. I was setting my due date on Friday so I would have Sunday to offer them for sale. It wasn't enough time and I jeopardized my hatch by opening the bator. In turn, I had stuck chicks that was all my doing. Also, I need more floor space for them to run around after hatch as it was clearly too crowded in the bator.
I set 127 eggs. Pulled the clears at day 10. I had 113 go to lockdown & only 14 eggs left un- hatched/unfinished.
Incubator is full again- I have way too much room in there! If anyone is in CNY and would like to buy any of these chicks above $5 each!
Happy hatching all!
awesome BDAY!!!! what in the world!! I missed it!!So had 2 hatch out around midnight last night, so after my birthday was overhave 2 zipping this morning, and several more pipped.
Started incubating 20 eggs on March 17th hatched the first on the 7th the second the 8th and third the 9th. The third had the zip three quarters of the way around and somehow had flipped around to the other end. I believe number two gave it a really hard kick with its sharp toes. Anyway had to remove it quickly and do a "c-section" I clipped the membrane near its mouth only to find a second membrane. Worried all day at work if it made it out of the shell and membrane. It did but it was a pitiful looking chick. and it died thirty minutes after I got home. Made sure humidity was still up in case the others were still able to hatch. I took the eggs out this morning.
Only three weren't full size chicks. I had 14 full size chicks in shell. Three had pips in the outer shell and all had internal pips and non were shrink-wrapped. The pips had been knocked to the bottom. They just never hatched.
This was my third attempt at hatching. And first actually getting a living chick.
But oh how it hurts losing the 15 that died. Sorry crying over dead babies.
They were dead. they had stopped cheeping and moving . The level was at 80% today was day 26 and starting to smell.Sorry for your loss on those... that is rough to have that many that far. Are you sure they weren't going to hatch? Were they dead then you opened them or still moving? What were your humidity levels?
