Speaking of hatching, my weekends hatch is already over. 14 of 16 eggs. One never pipped and one made the tiniest of pips and went no further. I opened up the pip hole this morning to see if it was alive and it was not. So 87.5%. This was the last of the eggs I got from Rocky. Only two NNs this time. One from the Marans X NN and one from the Silkie X NN.
And, I almost had a heart attack because last night I was letting the new renters watch the chicks get hatched. They left around 10pm. Later, I got up at 1am to check the progress of the hatching and noticed the other incubator was turned off! Temp was 77 degrees! Apparently one of the renters must have leaned on the switch of the power source and switched it off while they were all huddled around the other bator! Those eggs are my Lav AMs! I turned it on and candled a few this morning and they seem ok. (Although I did lose 4 already in that group....blood rings, when I candled them a few days ago) I am wanting those chicks to hatch really badly!
