Well, the four I managed to hatch are doing good. Three are outside during the day, the other is babysitting the chicks since it's kind of on the runty side.

Probably cracked the egg with the extra bulk he got from four extra days in there! :D

I'm so sorry to hear this! I don't use a turner, so I don't know if it can affect that. Did you remove it, or place the eggs somewhere else? Most people do, I believe...

Still a beautiful baby. I've had yellow chicks turn out black as adults, so... Give it time :)

Unless they are call ducks, I'd wait another couple of days on the humidity.

I'm attempting it. All the others are so much bigger, older by a minimum of two weeks. And I have three ducklings in there too. I need a bigger house... Wait, scratch that, I need to live in something else than a trailer! :lau

Looks like that's it for mine. Last batch of 12 = 1 chick hatched. At least it's a cutie.

Yolk water??

Especially next to the duck eggs!

Look what I found in the incubator this morning!

A good dozen, I would imagine. Standard Cochin are BIG birds.

I don't know if I want to start it again! Unless I retained the memories and could prevent everything.

One of my eggs has a sideways air sac... I've got it laying in it's side with the air sac facing up and keeping my fingers crossed because, at least last night, the chick was alive in there. Due to hatch anytime now.

Glad you didn't give up on them! They are resilient little critters!

Look at the size of those feet!

Oh geez, I'm so sorry to hear that. What horrible things to go through all at once! It never rains, it pours, right? Yeah, back to subfreezing (barely) at night and cool days. Next week is supposed to warm up again.

I flooded my trailer today...

Last of my April hatcher should be going into lockdown in a day. I don't have my hopes up, some don't look good at all... April 2023 has been the WORST month of the year! And that includes me freezing my b*** off in -50 weather with heaters that could not supply enough. Everything in my...

You're going to have the hardiest chicks EVER!

I did a quick candling of the OEGB eggs I set three days ago (because I'm impatient!), and there was veining in a few of them. I am not keeping my hopes up anymore, though. Too much heartbreak.
