Holy chicks!!
I just finished my first hatch of chicks!! My own barnyard mixes and a few from two friends!
37 total
33 went to lock-down
31 hatched!!! (two did not--one was empty and one died, fully formed in the egg)

Was thrilled with this hatch rate!!

Congrats!

a little progress over night.... but not as much as I had hoped for. Two black copper marans are out, two altsteirer are working on it. No action at all yet from any of the cream legbars. (sorry for the bad pic)

I am putting these in a first time used homemade incubator, I make little incubators, but
this is the first time using this one.

The dad is a Frizzle bantam, I have for the moms, BCM, Isbar, Blue andelusian, the smalls are NN, and other bantams. the tan egg is a delaware mix of sorts.

Good luck with the new incubator. It looks nice.

I have 12 hatched....two more on the way..... BUT.
I just woke up and came down to check on them. my bator has sprung a leak, and the humidity dropped. The two that had pipped look like they are shrinkwrapped. Trying to rectify the situation now.
