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

Sad about the babies lost before they hatched, but happy with these perfect little fluffs that made it. View attachment 2049452
That is Flip, front and center.

Flip is flipping cute

@Mylied Was it you hatching the eggs from Magicman, too? Remind me when yours hatch and which breeds you got...mine are day 20 tomorrow.

Think it would help if we knew what incubators everyone has. I have a farm innovator 4250 so styrofoam. Mine probably incubated differently than others I'd assume.

I don't want people dry hatching because they think they'll get better hatch rates or better hatches overall. You have to do what's best for your hatch.

**Want to ask everyone's opinion. What do you think about making a thread where we keep track of our hatch rates, incubators, and other info?

I can make spreadsheets of it and share on there. It may take me a few days, but I think it would be awesome.

We need a name for the thread as well...

Whoever wants in just say you want in or give your opinions or whatever

Definitely a good idea I would be in for that. I have two Hovabator 1588's

Yes. I think there's 2 olive eggers, 1 flowery easter egger, 3 marans, 1 barnevelder, and 2 wynadotte hybrids. I had 1 clear maran, 1 clear flowery easter egger, and 1 early quiter of something I can't remember. Today is day 19.

Are they as loud as chicks as they are as adults?

Not yet! He’s just made a few squeaky sounds.
