who's hatching may 4

[Cats Critters]

I've got 13 chicks, 1 that has zipped, and 4 that have pipped out of 24 (chicken) eggs.

Edited to add: Make that 14 chicks, and 4 pipped

One hatched at 11 last night. One is starting to zip, and another one is rocking around the bator!

I started with 8. One was infertile. I have the other 4 in the bator, but 99.9% sure nothing will come out of those.

All in all, though, for being my first hatch and using a LG and hand turning, I am very very happy! Not counting the infertile egg, I got a 43% hatch (well, if the other 2 do indeed hatch).

My first ever egg to hatch was a cuckoo silkie from Sassie Silkies! Very cute!

Well I have 3 buff orps and one black Australorp out and a whole lotta pipping going on.

I set these eggs in the evening, so I am pretty sure it is gonna be a long night..

3 hatched, 2 pipping/zipping, 4 doing nothing.

My hatch is sure drawn out this year. I wonder if my fan is not working very well???

This is the first hatch that does not seem to be going to well. I thought I had this down to a science, but I guess anything can go wrong.

I have 3 turkeys out and no more pips. 1 turkey may have to be culled due to rolling on his back and can't get back over.

Turkens are coming along, I have about 6 out of 13 so far. Pipping has not been so regular like other hatches. One pip, one hatch. I don't have a bunch of pipping and waiting.

Here's the result of my 3rd time incubating eggs:
12 eggs received-3 discarded d/t soiling-3 nonfertile-6 made it to day 18 and hatched! 1 has 5 toes! hehehehe. 1 has a bum leg but looks healthy and can move itself around but not quite stand up so watering might be an issue. I think it's the RIR/blue cochin mix d/t brown on its jawline. 2 look like blue cochin, 1 looks like the favorelle cochin cross, and I think 2 black cochin.

So far I have 15 chicks in the brooder, 6 pipped, one halfway out... and 6 that are doing nothing.

My little partridge cochin hatched! Yay! Still another banty egg in the "not doing anything" pile.
