What tipe incubator you use? and humidity temp?

Still air Hovabator. Dry hatch at 101-102 and then humidity at 65-70% during lockdown. One of the eggs was peeping....I think...but no pips. These poor things have been through the wringer already, so getting this far was a miracle in itself, really. Anything that hatches should be gold!

Wait- wouldn't that be Blue Laced Gold?

This is what I would say is gold laced blue. Or red laced blue. (on right)




Hey, the one on the top left looks like it could be the beginning of a blue partridge project........

(orps?)

Strange that wyandottes would be "blue laced red" or "splash laced red". Is it backwards to be breed specific? Because we are having one heck of a time with the whole lavender/self blue junk.

If gold is the background color and that's what it looks to me, it should be: blue laced gold. (gold background with blue lacing)
To be gold laced blue, the back ground would need to be blue.......... (it would have to have a blue background with gold lacing).

First humidity to high, just check that you heard the peeping and see the chick so big and not able to move and can't broke the egg shell.
If you hatch expensive birds you need better incubator, i use the hovabator before and i hate.
Orpington like 55-60 humidity on hatch time .
