Too Early for Feb Hatch-A-Long Thread??

No such thing! I think you should order MORE to ensure a proper number of silkies.

I second this! More is always better when it comes to hatching eggs. Always. Don't question it. lol

Yay!! A February hatch!!
I'll set some Amaraucana Xs and some RIR Xs. Haven't decided how many yet.
Fun!!

You have a chicken named HeiHei?

Do you remember which hatch along it was? I might try to sift through it for information.

So I participated in 5 hatch-a-longs last year.

Easter (which I know wasn't the one I took part in closely because I messed up my timing)
June Hatch A Long
JUNE - JULY HATCH ALONG!!!!!!!
August Hatch-A-Long
SEPTEMBER HATCH-A-LONG!!!

So only like 700 pages to scroll through.

Haha true more is better especially with shipped eggs! I think I'm starting to make my husband nervous though. I asked him if I could hatch some more a few weeks ago and he said it's my project and I should do whatever I think is best....probably a mistake on his part, he may be rethinking that now!

The bad thing is now I need more incubator space.....getting another nurture right 360 is becoming very tempting!

I think mine is regretting his words as well lol. He just found out about the new little chims about 10 minutes ago. He has no idea that this is the biggest hatch we’ve done so far. LUCKILY he said it’s mine and my daughter’s project and rolled his eyes. Thank goodness!

And yes! You need another incubator. Would you like me to find a good link for purchase for you?

It's very convenient having two of them, or 3... I may sell my 4th incubator after I do my side by side test this year. I don't need the temptation. lol

We need to run down to tractor supply right now for some extra chick feeders, I proposed getting another nurture right while we were down there and didn't meet any resistance from the husband. I was thinking we'd just grab one when we were down there. I really appreciate the offer to find that link though!

They are silkies from my paint flock, I've got 3 left that are due to hatch in the next few days. They are all a day apart in age so range from day 17-19 right now. All 3 are still alive and well so far, I'm just hoping the day 19 one will decide to hatch on day 20 like this little one did so it has company while I wait for the others.

I've got some other silkie eggs from my flock that aren't as far along in another incubator as well. I just ordered some silkie hatching eggs from a breeder too (probably going a little overboard on the incubating/hatching)!

well I think we have 54 eggs in the brinsea, 22 in the nurture rite, a few??? in the Styrofoam one for hatching and 90ish in the cabinet bator? so you have a ways to go before you should worry.
next big concern is where to put them as they outgrow the brooder??
