Tis Time for a March 2020 Hatch-a-long!

[CluckNDoodle]

16 chicks and 2 ducks. 4 chicken eggs didn't hatch and 1 duck didn't make it pass pipping. 1 chick is still in the incubator after helping it out this morning from pipping the wrong end of egg. The 2 bigger ducklings I got from TSC. View attachment 2042670View attachment 2042671

Congrats on a great hatch! Look at all those cuties!

Thanks, everyone. The little cutie is still doing great!

I have more Orps hatching on the 14th. Also, a rare mix from Greenfire should hatch around that time. In that mix we have: Liege Fighters, Alsteirer, Gold Duckwing Sulmtaler, and Quail Brabanconne. Later this month we will (hopefully) have Jubilee Orps hatching. Oh! And I have button quail eggs on the way.

Our emu eggs are doing well. At least 3 have tilt, which doesn’t really mean anything, except to possibly rule out the egg that isn’t. We’re hoping to see movement in the next week.

Wow! That looks like a lot of possible chicks now that I’ve typed it all out! Lol

Sounds like you have a fun hatch coming!

My eggs haven't turned up yet so it maybe next week now. I could have done with them this week as I needed something to focus on. Hey ho.

Eeeeeeeeee. Sulmtaler!!!!!! I’ve emailed greenfire a couple times this year about Sulmtaler availability and thankfully for my pocketbook they haven’t gotten back to me.

Every time I lose an auction or a local breeder needs to delay egg pick up for some reason I'm a mixture of relieved and disappointed. lol, Hatching addiction is complicated.

OMG you and me both!! But I’ve been on a winning roll lately lol.

Oh but ducklings are so adorable! I hope your hatch goes well and that you feel better soon.

I'm not keeping any of them. I've decided not to. I am done with adding.

Alright, I'm back after the week from hell (let's just say I now know more about unclogging the sewer line than I ever wanted to...), and am 4 days from hatch with my Silkie and Ayam Cemani! I have 7 AC and 9 Silkie still going strong. Yaaaay!

I do need some help though - I just picked some shipped eggs up at the post office, and although they were packaged beautifully, my air cells are a complete mess. They have already sat for 24 hours at the post office, but should I give them more time? Should I not use my auto turner? Incubate upright? Help!
