The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[Sally Sunshine]

Dumb question, but the chicks wont eat that rice she has in there and possibly choke will they?
I fret over everything, but dont want to see it happen as she already had enough crap with the dog and last hatch!

For future reference, I would make a bag of cheesecloth to hold the rice, chicks wouldn't be able to get, and it would be able to be changed out easily if need be.

I already removed it because I was worried they would try to eat it. I also don't leave them in the hatcher for very long because they can touch the light is they arent careful

Final count for me is 0. I only set two eggs, which I've done before with good results, but this time was a failure.

I have a question about cross beak. Will the baby be able to hatch on it's own? One seems to have a slight cross beak

My chick that pipped yesterday at 7:30 PM, started zipping 20 minutes ago and is out already and cheeping away. Its a CCL. Will post pics in a few. My first ever hatch. I am so happy, so far it looks good and active. Day 20 is not finished yet so hopeful for another 7 by tomorrow if everything goes well. Thanks everyone who re-assured me last night.

Well my first hatch I got nothing either, but we had some other issues. So this time around I decided, lets just fill her up, and it did much better. Good Luck, and don't give up. You will get better
