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

[smfarman]

Saturday was an extremely busy, some at D22 and some at D21. Friday 2 pipped and hatched, today(Saturday) 14 pipped, zipped and hatched wasn't able to remove the hatched ones, because as soon as one hatched another one externally pipped and didn't want the humidity to drop. Finally today at 5pm I was able to remove the hatched chicks and clean the incubator a little bit. Still have 7 that are on D14 in the incubator plus 2 that haven't pipped yet on D21. Here are some pictures from the brooder

The color of some of the chicks have me a little confused 2 Andalusion- black w/yellow dot, 2-cream legbars- tan/lt.brown with chipmunk markings, 2-lavender orpingtons-very lt. Grey and 1-barred rock/lavender orpington ?
Then the 5-white rocks and 4-lakeshore eggers look a like

These chick picks are driving me crazy (in a good way) I'm at that wonderful stage where all I can do it check humidity and wait for that first pip.

3 babies out and three more eggs pipped two are right under the camera so we can't see them. Babies are starting to get fluffy so they can come out once I get home. Day 21 ends at 4:30pm tonight

Well of the final 3, 1 internally pipped but died. 1 died a couple of days ago and the last, never internally pipped. I've cleaned, sterilized, reloaded with 20 eggs and I'm off once more.

I need to make a correction there is 8 on D15 and 3 that has not pipped on D22. I am Excited that 16 hatched, only 3 clear, 3 still waiting on pip out of 22 set that is around 72% if I am right not including the 8 that where set on 3/07.
What affect will the humidity (82%) be on the 8 that where on D14 when the others hatched.

Help I need another incubator, I have 12 eggs from my girls and 10 shipped eggs that need to go into the incubator. I miscalculated on the days, I thought this hatch would be finished before the shipped eggs would arrive. I will be getting another NR360 next week, will the eggs be alright until then

So I went out this morning to give the eggs their morning check, no pips... fed all the little buggers in the brooders, went back to peek at the eggs... EXTERNAL PIP!

Beginning of the week, yes, but viability will go down on the shipped eggs as the week progresses. Your hens eggs should be fine.

Thank you, that will put the shipped eggs at 9 days that's going to be close
