If I subtract the clears. I had an 82% hatch rate. Withe the clears it's 72%. Not bad. 2 DIS, 5 quitters at various stages and a handful of clears.

Exactly! Had someone want to buy the whole lot and he wanted an exact count. I'm like not that one. . Or that one. This one can go.. . Gave him a count about 8 short. :hmm

Supposedly these are supposed to go up for sale. . . But there is more then a few in there that might just be staying. :oops:

5 left to go! 4 piped Also, what in the world color did I manage to make here?!

Number 3. 2nd Gen EE FYI: Not a good time to realize your chick waterers have disappeared. . .

2 out. 2 pipped. Many more to go!

She is Gorgeous! Congrats!

Lockdown. Pulled a few more quitters and added the dividers for 1 bator so I can keep track of chicks. The other they all look the same to me. :D That bator should produce random EE chicks. Mostly 2nd gens so I can't guarantee egg color. These ones will be Lovelies!

1 week to go. Down a few eggs. 3 early quitters all from 1 hen, xl eggs. I think they were a touch too big for the turner and were getting stuck. 😕 And all my RIR eggs were clears. Not sure what's going on there, they are 3 this year but my roo is spoiled for choice with some younger gals. So...

I think I may be overrun by chicks come hatch day. Did a quick candle yesterday to check for cracks, didn't check when I set. Already had signs of life in almost all the eggs. Few to dark to see.

@casportpony Yes for me. Too many but they are set. Not sure if I should be hoping for poor fertility or not?

Eggs are all set. Who is keeping count this year?

:frow:wee Got a new job. And immediately head first into a major project. 8-10hr days 6 days a week. Bank acct is happy but I am just wee bit exhausted.

I would love to have a broody to add to the hatchalong this year but we still have far too much snow and ice to leave a little bitty sitting by herself. No broody hatches till late spring for me. Just me and my 2 incubators counting down the days!

Yes I will be setting. Breeding pens have been split. Action is happening.

My brooder can handle 2 bators of chicks for about 2 weeks. Seeing as most will be sold 1st week, I should be fine.

:oops:I may have bought a 2nd bator this year. If I can swing the dates between work projects, count me in. But I will be hatching more this spring. Have buyers and projects lined up.
