The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[chicken pickin]

No more chicks for me!!!

The wind blew over the broody hut and all the eggs broke!! They were fluffy and wet and the yoke sack was absorbed!!

Oh my goodness that is just awful. I am so sorry that happened to you

Still 52 hrs left in hatch day. Need to find something to do (I guess I should work some). BTW I usually keep some hot water pans around the incubators in case I need to open it, the humidity outside could be closer to the bator. This time though I found this small humidifier that might help:

I might check out some smaller ones to use in my DIY Hatcher if I ever get around to the next step of making it. I got the wine cooler and i started taking stuff out but I got stuck at this black box thing and I haven't gotten back to it.

Aaaaaaaah it's amazing! Thank you so much I can't wait for mine to hatch!

I went back and read what bamadude wrote I. The chicks. I believe this was a Polish egg with a Silkie daddy.

If it hatched from a polish egg it is crossed with a white houdan or a white silkie. The foot feathering would lead me to believe its likely silkie x polish. Would that be a sizzle or frizzle or something like that? Im confused on that subject.

If the Polish was a drizzle then it would be a Sizzle. Otherwise just a crossbred.

Is there a trick to Polish? Another egg quit day 19 and was Polish!

I have a chick out since yesterday. Slight bloody naval so I am leaving him on bator. He seems to not be able to stand though, I'd think he'd be moving by now

i hatched polish last may and had it quit day 17. it sucked. it may just be the breed.

i didnt candle the eggs i put in lockdown long enough to see movement, so i hope all of the birds are still alive
