Day 21 here and 18 chicks, still waiting on the last 3 to hatch!

 

[Mrs MIA]

I'm waiting now, too... Coturnix eggs from Samg347 in the hatcher, and I swear I saw one wiggle just a little bit ago. No pips yet, but I'm waiting! We're going fishing tomorrow - just what I need to distract me from the hatch.

Denasfarm ~ I have two Millies brooding right now, due next Wednesday. I've been taking them off the nest and setting them by the food/water twice, sometimes three times, a day so they have a chance to poop, eat and drink. They usually stay off for about 10 minutes, stretch, scratch, etc, and it keeps them from pooping on the eggs. It CAN cause problems with bacteria, so don't be afraid to boot them off the nest for a little while.

My silies are great about getting up on their own, its the Americanas that arent budging and they poop like a big dog. This is the first time I have had them go broody so I guess they dont know what they are doing.

Are you going to let the Millies hatch and raise their own or will you bring the biddies in?

fyrwmn: I would LOVE to have guineas...maybe next year! Please post baby pics!

When I ordereed my incubator from https://www.gqfmfg.com/store/front.asp I found it was cheaper to get the Genesis 1588 kit with the turner and two size egg trays and 30 quail eggs Plus no shipping with this kit.
ANY way I will be hatching my first quail ever when it gets here next week!​

I am waiting on the last 4 of my turkeys to hatch, any day now. So far I have 2 black spanish...2 grey, 1 bronze, and one...well..im not sure of its coloring....from this hatch. Outside there are 5 little bronze. Going to have a FULL freezer....unless someone wants to buy a few poults...for pickup only in SE Indiana.

No more pips for me. 100% hatch.

 

[ozark hen]

woo hoo, 100 % hatch is wonderful!! I was just outside and there came my mallard hen with two brand new ducklings trailing behind her

. One looks like mom and the other looks like a muscovy. She has been sitting on a large clutch of eggs. I don't know if she was the only one laying there or not? I lost my mallard drake several months ago so any of hers will be mallard/muscovy mixes.
She went to eat and drink and then returned to the nest with her two little ones so I expect we may have more ducklings?
