6 chicks not bad. Now you should have a trio at least. Hatch your own after they start laying.

So what I've learned this go round. 1. Don't put paper towels under eggs over water source. Very effective vapor barrier and my humidity would not go up to save me. By the time I figured this out too late. Many lost to shrink wrap. 2. I did not hook up my contraption for adding for heated...

@mlm Mike Looks like I have 15 out of 38 set. 39% not as good as I'd hope but I've had much worse. 5 of these And 10 of these varying from light to dark Here's their new home for now

:yesss:

g I've been told the coturnix quail are the type to get started with I've been thinking about it but haven't wanted to start a whole new cage set up. Chickens pretty much rule the time factor here.

Nice!!! What type

First chick out. Three more have pipped. Really didn't expect till tomorrow as temps seemed low.

Thank you for sharing. This may help with keeping the humidity even in the incubator. Just noticed that where I add water it pools up there and the weight loss is lower in the area where the water is. Going to have to run some figures but it sure looks like that corner where the water pools up...

Just finished candling. 35 out of 38 still going. At day 7 I thought only 34 making it. One of the duds is definitely alive. Also one egg I chipped the top off of accidentally is still growing. I put Nu Skin on the missing shell part. Noticing that the area I add water at the eggs are losing...

It's like they sense the others rhythm maybe it's a surival instinct. More in a group the better the chances of surviving an attack. Just thinking out loud here. So technically you can join Springing in the chicks hatch along. I think.

Awesome will they hatch in April or do they hatch quicker than chickens

Ok all prayers pointed to Lower Alabama for the next week. :hugs

I'm still sick over a varmit attack that took 9 chicks. I can't imagine the horror of a fire to boot. I would think a good antibiotic cream would help just don't know if it works for burns or not

Thanks you for sharing about the light. I was thinking of using the heatlamp I bought as my neighbor may need her heating plate back for Easter. Not anymore sorry about your disaster. Awful

Gosh I'm glad you and chickens were safe!

I kept them separate until hen got tired of them. But it was an experiment and I had the room to keep them away. They were kept in a garden with only a piece of plywood leaned against a wall for a coop. This area was not protected from the hawks. Lots of vegetative cover and momma hen was quick...

As my daughter would say, sure dad whatever

If you can keep the other chickens away for a time. When I kept mine with the others the poor hen got to confused and they were lost in the shuffle. The last batch I experimented with them keeping them in the garden without others and they all survived.

And that's what I should have done with mine. Got me in the back twice once when he was younger with no weight. Second time was it. The look on your daughters face must have been priceless.

Sorry Raz but Saint has to go. I put up with one for months thinking he'd get better. Didn't happen.
