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

Oh no!!! That is sad... but it happens. Happens to hens too that they step on eggs... don't feel bad!

Thank you Your comment helps, these things happen I guess. Just really bummed since only a couple from 24 are developing and now I’ve smashed one.

Maybe today is my lucky day!?!

The fifth Cream Legbar just hatched. 5/5 males.

No way! What are the chances?!

I’m so upset with myself. Stupid clumsy oaf, I dropped my phone that I was using to candle my eggs and broke one of my only developing shipped eggs.

Oh no! I'm so sorry!

Oh no, my mini7 temperature dropped to 96 degrees and I don't know how long it was at that temperature, are they going to be ok, 2 are on D20 and 3 on D12

They will probably be ok. 96°F isn't that cool so if it wasn't for long you might not even see much of a delay but the worst I would expect is a slightly later hatch.

It’s white and leathery.

If the chick zipped all the way around but wasn't able to tear the membrane because it was too dry then you may need to assist a bit.

I need to get pics of my ducklings. They've doubled in size I forgot how fast ducklings grow. They're beasts. I picked up one of my silver ones last night and it wanted to cuddle my face.

My husband has been picking them up every morning before he leaves for work. His black one with the yellow markings is getting big! It was the runt.

Mine are getting so big, too! No one judge me, but I sit in my big brooder every night for a couple hours and the ducks were sooo cuddly last night. One even sat on my leg voluntarily, which has never happened before.

Today is D20 for my broody. Definitely going to be staring into her temporary home quite often today

Here's my oldest with his favorite chick that hatched. He takes it out several times to pet it.
