MAY 2016 "Land of the Free Because of the brave!" Hatch-a-Long Hosted by, Mike & Sally

[Hirad]

The ameracauna chick didn't make it. There was far too much moisture left in the egg and he drowned. The buff orp also died before pipping externally. So final count is 17 chicks.

@Wickedchicken6 I took photos today. She doesn't have much black on her now..what happened? She has some pretty markings though. Some brownish and orangish..lol..markings..thus the name Smudge.
Dad was a beautiful and sweet RIR, mom was the Leghorn....























Little bit of black in there. She had one tail feather that was black. Wonder where it went..lol..

Hoping for eggs by next month.

She's beautiful!!

Maybe she's like a rabbit in winter, except opposite??

Quote:
Happy anniversary!! And good luck!!

I got the ok for hatching eggs when my husband went to his knee surgeon (close proximity) and he's going to the dentist tomorrow...
and I'm getting 2 budgies!!!!

(What? I'm not excited...not at all.) Ok...move along people...

Quote:
Yeah...UPS should have white glove service...and smack themselves upside the noggin with their white gloved hand!

Ok...NO more typing....I'm doin' ma nails.

(You guys'll just have to live without me for now.)

Super frustrated with my Dorking eggs and its only day18. Candled last night to make final "toss or keep" call. Out of 2 eggs, 6 clears and 5 blood ring/quitters. That is 11 of 24 eggs non-viable for hatch! Ugh. Just hoping most of the 13 left hatch. I guess I am more frustrate since this hatch is not for me and I want it to go well. I wonder why I had so many early quitters, it's almost 1/3 of them.. I have a 1588 and I kept the humidity a little lower is time since last hatch I had 13/62 fully formed but drowned in egg so I was worried that I had my humidity too high during the first part.
