Hoping for a the hen. I could only borrow an incubator from my brother. But it is just a no brand chinesse incubator so I really don't want to mess it upAre you going to be incubating them or are you hoping for a hen to go broody?
Yay! Hatching chicks under a broody is so fun!Hoping for a the hen. I could only borrow an incubator from my brother. But it is just a no brand chinesse incubator so I really don't want to mess it up
You’ll definitely have to start a hatch-a-long thread once the eggs come!
DefinitelyYay! Hatching chicks under a broody is so fun!
But I would say I am hoping for a good hatch rateYay! Hatching chicks under a broody is so fun!
Yeah my broodies have given me my best hatch rates! They are the best incubators!But I would say I am hoping for a good hatch rate
Yup. Nothings better than mommaYeah my broodies have given me my best hatch rates! They are the best incubators!
Last time my broodies hatched chicks I had a 100% hatch rateYup. Nothings better than momma
Mine was almost 100% but one didn’t fully develop. There were 9 eggs under my buff Orpington hen to start and then that one didn’t develop so we were down to 8. Then my bantam decided to go broody (best mama ever!
) and she got 2 leaving my Orpington with 6. They all hatched! My buff Orpington’s at day 19-20 and my bantam’s at day 20! I ended up getting 4 boys!
Had to get rid of two early on, got rid of one later, and kept one! Who is the baby to my bantam!
Wait you have Buff orps? What other breeds do you have?Mine was almost 100% but one didn’t fully develop. There were 9 eggs under my buff Orpington hen to start and then that one didn’t develop so we were down to 8. Then my bantam decided to go broody (best mama ever!
Too many to type out!
But I could try if you want me to!
I’ll just tell you this I have close to 70 chickens and each one is a different breed except for a few that are the same. Here I’ll work on a list.
