So at the beginning of this hatch I put 33 eggs in the incubator and out of all those only 2 hatched and 1 needed help but is doing much better now. There is one more egg that needed help but it's still in the bator trying to make it. So discouraging having that bad of a hatch but this is all new to me and is great for learning so I know what to do for future hatches I'm just happy I got what I did next time will be much better! on a better note here are the ones that hatched so cute. I think the white one that's drying out may be a splash. I dunno.

So cute. I would be a basket case, don't think I could do it.

Well, I think the time has come. When I went out to the coop to open their windows this morning, my husband and I heard a weak crow. I think Dot may in fact be a boy.

I'm going to give him/her a little longer until there's no mistaking it...but I may have an Americauna Mr. in need of a loving home if anyone is interested. I don't have the heart to get rid of him any other way :-/

What a bummer! Are you not able to keep roosters? I put mine in a kennel in the garage every night for a year....I just had to have him haha I did not want to make my neighbors mad even though we have animal rights. Eventually the neighbors said they were ok with it so now I have four out back and I feel like my neighbors might hate me just a little...lol

Congrats on the chicks you hatched out! I did my first incubation too ending last monday and I had a shipped $60 dozen give me nothing. I also incubated a dozen silver lace from a local breeder and did get six chicks. It was quite the learning experience.

No, I'm not supposed to...however, I have heard some crowing in the neighborhood occasionally so maybe I'll take a chance....Better to ask forgiveness than permission!!!

Now remember guys, 1 chicken per ft of roosting space. What your doing is against fire code!
