Trim goes all in: A hatching adventure!

[Trimurtisan]

I am finishing a hatch right now. Last duckling in mid-assist. I’ve let broodies (chickens, ducks, and pigeons) hatch so many this year, my incubators have been turned off for a while. But the sight of a freshly hatched duckling never gets old.

My original plan was to let the silkies do my hatching. Then I found out I really don't like silkies, and got awfully impatient.

72 hour candling looks like 2 blood rings and 3 with veins so far. One has a crack again, and 1 looks to have a detached air cell.

Thanks Elly, they should hatch on 9/7-8. I set them in the afternoon again.

Meh, the incubator has not shot craps on me yet. Last I checked was day 9 and there was 4 viable eggs.

To be honest I'm already over this incubation stuff. I've got a few pullets near laying age, and hope they do the job from now on. I basically paid $300 for a single chick and that is a crock of crap...
