14th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[Wandering_r0gue]

@muddy75 set 35, hatched 24....

Alright, first hatch is wrapped up and this is the breakdown of My results:

Ordered 36 coturnix quail eggs from Breezy Bird Farms (South of Winnipeg, MB Canada). They shipped on a Monday, I got them the next day (March 21). (Paid a premium, but they arrived quickly).

After a candeling for cracks (there were none) and a count (38) , I allowed them to set overnight, then I loaded up my incubator with what it cold hold (35) and began my incubation period. (March 22)

First chick hatched on Day 17 (April 8)

Day 18 (April 9) the majority of the rest of the hatch occurred.

I had a few staggered hatches sporadically through day 19, 20 and 21. (April 10-12)

I have had:
-1 chick die on its own,
-2 that required euthanized (much harder emotional process than I thought it would be)
- 2 that needed a bit of help hatching (Both are doing well and have attitude,
-1 rescued from the cast after it opened the incubator (chick is fine)
- 1 with splay-leg (Responding well to treatment and should be fine -moving around well)

The numbers:
Ordered: 36
Recieved: 38
Incubated: 35 (the other 3 were delicious)
Developed:31 (88.5%)
Hatched: 24 (68.5%)
Survived from hatch(to date): 21 (87.5%)

Overall, for a first time hatcher with no experience, with eggs shipped In a cold snap in a Manitoba spring, I think things went OK, and I got more birds than I was expecting.

Thanks for joining the hatch-along, and congrats on your hatch.

Our final round hatched last night, just one chick from the two eggs. So that’s a wrap with 25 chicks!

 

[NagemTX]

Set a total of 45 10 on the first broody, 5 hatched. 12 on the other broody due in 5 days. 24 in the incubator 5 pulled as clear and 19 due in 5 days.

 

[BirdsBeesTrees]

I see I set a bad example. I only said my totals publicly because they were both 0.

Private message @muddy75 to give her your totals.

Hello, everyone! Hope your hatches are going well. We are in the process of finalizing the Guess How Many Eggs Will Be Set! contest. Once we finalize that, if we can get all of you that set eggs to let @muddy75 know how many hatched, we can do the "Guess How Many Eggs Will Hatch!" contest.

Please let @muddy75 know how many of your set eggs hatched ASAP.

It fascinates me how many tags you can put in one post. :0

 

[Blue Raptor]

0 eggs for me.
