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

[smfarman]

I have two incubators one is a dedicated incubator the other is a dedicated hatcher so I can clean between hatches and it doesn't effect other eggs that I have in the incubator.

I'd like to have two incubators, but it will be a couple of weeks before I can do that. I'll be getting another NR360. But for now I will hand turn batch 2. I have more eggs comming in next week and more in two weeks after that, chicken math

I'd give her newy hatched chicks not older ones. Just as she won't recognise the older ones as hers, the chicks won't know the broody mom and will wonder off.

This morning she was up and out with everyone else. Maybe she heard me talking and decided that she didn't want to be bothered with more babies. She just co-hatched some recently. I'll continue to watch her.

Hope your mom stays home! I'm on house arrest by my family. I'm not allowed to leave our property so I'm just watching Netflix and reading.

So am I so been calling her daily and finding out if she needs anything lol.

My silkie eggs went into lockdown this morning. 13 eggs out of 17. 3 weren't fertilized and 1 had a blood ring, what does that even mean? I followed the directions on the janeol/magicfly 24 and had some humidity issues to start but knock on wood, I think I got it straightened out. They are supposed to hatch Thursday but I'm hoping for at least a few early birds tomorrow for St. Patrick's Day. I have another incubator coming for the EHAL, I will put eggs in both and see how they compare. I liked the janeol better than the hatch rite but I'm curious about the nurture right 360 that should be here by tomorrow night.

You're amazing. My husband goes to work so he always texts me when he leaves to ask if I need anything.

Sending tons of eggs with my husband tomorrow so he can give them to employees and customers.

See sing tons of eggs with my husband tomorrow so he can give them to employees and customers.

That's awesome yeah we are hoping that everyone who we know shouldn't go out has everything they need. I'll walk over to my neighbors and see if he needs anything since he's older and shouldn't go out either.

Just locked down my 15 eggs...14 CCL and 1 splash marans. Hoping to lighten the quarantine mood with babies this week!

What pattern is this? This is the coolest chick I've ever had. It follows me everywhere. It's from the February hatch a long.

Here are pics of my babies that hatched last week. They grow up so fast. Any guesses on pullet or cockerel? The black one here is Batman, named by our 4 year old grandson. The yellow silkie/ee is Molly, named by our 6 year old granddaughter and she also named the grey one Silver.
