March hatch 2024

[Kalobis]

This is our first time ever owning chickens, or incubating. We are using the Nurture Right 360 and started with a mix of 21 eggs. 5 were unfertilized, and 1 potential early quitter, but I wasn't sure, so I left in.

Today is day 20, and I think I have my first pip! Excited to see what happens over the next 24 hours!

I bet your excited it can be addicting.

I can see why! I’ve got three hatched, 10 pips so far! Today is day 21.

I hatched out 3 a couple days ago. (day 22-23)

I still have some that are a few days older, that I can add to that group, so they will not be lonely.

I did go to N40 and they had chicks. I didn't buy any because none of the chicks got me that excited, not like mine do. I did buy a second incubator. My old one I will hatch in, my new one they can be in until day 18. I am enjoying my Farm innovators which is a still air, my second one is also still air but LG.

My eggs go into lockdown on Sunday evening!

I have a 24 banty to start tomorrow
sent to me today.

Update: We had 13 smooth hatches out of 15! One was an early quitter, and one is still going. However, it’s been pipped for more than 30 hours so I’ll keep an eye on it but it might need an assist later today. I read a lot about assisting, and I don’t take it lightly, hopefully it hatches on its own today.

In the meantime I’m going to put some warm, wet paper towel over the last egg and transfer the 13 dry fluffy ones to the brooder. I’ll leave the last one in there for now and keep an eye on it.

Of the 24 did not fill the bigger incubator so added 6
of my big eggs.

LOCKDOWN!!!

I have three iffy eggs, and one that I removed early, so hoping for 20 hatches out of the 24 I set.

I had 8 eggs set and 4 were not fertilized. From 4 eggs 2 hatched and the other 2 did I get rid of. First time hatch and did a wild guess which eggs could be fertilized.
