the "not-so-bad" Blue Wheaten Ameraucana Hatch of 2010

[halo]

I can't believe its hatch time already.

Are you putting all of them in egg cartons?

Those aren't Ameraucanas - Gabbard Farms sells Easter Eggers.
Hey Mahonri - I've got a peachick egg pip today.

This is a common error, so don't feel bad about it. I think it has happened to every one of us before we knew what Ameraucanas were.

Really, Julie has it listed 2 different ways. I didn't know that. Has anyone else had this problem? I have heard all good reviews about Julie and her eggs asked many times before I bought them. Anyways how can you really tell the difference in them I would like to know so I don't buy the wrong eggs again? I bet alot of people on here sell there EE eggs as such also.

Dont Stack Eggs It Will Hurt Your Hatch

I stacked them last time and had a good hatch.

I set 95 and at day 10 I still had 75. Not bad for shipped eggs.

As of day 10, no more were stacked.

96 more hours to go!

Yes all but the ones in the InCubebator.. .I just take the turner out, lay them down with wet paper towels down underneath and pray for the best. There are only 7 eggs left in there.. most EEs from my own coop.

Illia... beautiful chick

My hatch is done! But sadly out of 15 Blue Wheaten Ameraucana eggs. . . 5 hatched. The 5th one I even had to help quite a bit.

Just want to say. . .

Illia,

Any idea why the other 10 didn't make it?

Shucks... I'm praying I have better luck than that!!!

 

[Illia]

I really do not know. . . At least one of the two bluest ones hatched, but really. . . Not a clue. The chicks looked normal if cracked open - Yolks still out, chick curled up. . .

Pretty sure you'll get a better hatch though.

I feel doomed when hatching Wheaties. . . Last time I got a low hatch rate AND fertility rate with Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Marans.

 

[Mahonri]

Well, I suppose 5 is better than zero.

I'm down to my last 83 hours.

Lock down today between 2 and 4PM.

it will come sooner than I think now... I've always had the rare chick that pips at the end of day 19... that would be Mon/Tues
