That sucks

Just had a terriable hatch with most of all the swap eggs. I set 101 eggs back 3 weeks ago from swaps only 15 eggs developed and only 5 of them hatch , 4 Marans and 1 faverolle.

It's been a bad year out of 300 eggs so far only 30 hatched.

Wow! That is bad. Wonder what the problem is? I've had some great hatches on shipped eggs before this year.

Babies! Soggybottomfarms, here are your grandchicks (plus some)! Can you tell me which ones are which variety?

This one chick is lighter than the other "chipmunk" ones.

Here is a pic just for cuteness sake. A little Silkie from Itsiebitsie.

Sadly, Juliechick seems to have lost some of her chicks this evening. Some very lovely Salmon Favorelles from itsiebitsie. They sure look nice in our brooder tote! They will soon head to their new home. Thanks itsibitsie!

And thanks Juliechick for helping us get them hatched!

 

[juliechick]

Jim, you must have snuck in here really late to get those chicks!
