Great to hear that everyone's hatches are going good......me on the other hand.... Out of 12 eggs, 11 of them were fertile and developing, so my hopes were up. Seven of them made it too lockdown, so I guess that was good. From there there were only two that were alive and started pipping, after piping a hole, they both died. I have no eggs hatching, all dead, all a waste of time. I think my LG incubator has served it's purpose long enough.....time to toss it and get a new one.
On the bright side, I already have a brooder full of 34 chicks and 2 ducklings......so this bad hatch isn't hitting us too hard. Hope everybody else's hatches go great. Good luck everybody!!![]()
I'm sorry! My first hatch didn't go so great, but I'm hopeful for this one. But it sounds like you're stocked up with a full brooderGreat to hear that everyone's hatches are going good......me on the other hand....

45 bator eggs 8 broody eggs
5 currently externally pipped ? (I know most have hatched just not sure all have)
3 late quitters
1 died after hatching
36 hatched and in the brooder

One of my personal bests so far....we shall see how I fare with all eggs accounted for.
