RUNNING TOTAL = 61- eggs live hatch
12 grew to about 90% and never made it to hatch day
29 did not candle well after day 12 (not fertllized, bloodring, PO handling, etc)
TOTAL WAITING TO HATCH: 5
CURRENT HATCH RATE IS: 59.8%
I AM EGGhausted!!! and my 1st bater I just set 41 eggs, 2nd bator I just set 20 and lock down bator has 5. There is roughly another 60 eggs coming from auctions and swaps.
I figure only 60-70% of those will hatch. BUT THEN I AM DONE PEEPS. As a matter a fact I am going to take a nap right now. Maybe those other 2 RIRs will hatch while I am sleeping.
Eggs i got from hot2pot not doing very well this time. only 3 of 24 hatched and only one more has piped in the past 2 days. Hopefully they are late hatchers. I usually have at least decent hatches from h2p.
these are so sweet.our youndest are having great fun with the animal stickers and practicing our letter reconition.
thank you for the hair goodies too.
