My Hatching Journey: the Adventures of a Complete Newbie

[FridayYet]

Your temps running a little hot K? I lost more when I ran the incubator a tad warmer and they started hatching earlier - won't do that again. Maybe back the temp off a tiny bit to get them closer to hatching on day 21? Just a thought.

Nice! What's your hatch date?

June 19th

Hatches have been going a day early even though all thermometers agree (Hopefully Correctly)

Dude !!!!!!!!

understand farming time all else waits . I'm just filled the cabinets Sunday .Hatch rates aren't so good as I hoped .Piping more on day nineteen and hatching on twenty . Going into lockdown thier alive and die during before they hatch .I'm going to lock down a couple days earlier . May make a difference

I'm super busy go most of my hay down . so a bit out of touch .

Hi Banti off to bed

Good to hear from ya Brother!

That sounds really early.
Are they dying with unabsorbed yolk??

Hope you have a great hatch! My bator has been put away since my Easter hatch, and won't come back out until next year. Need to cull a bunch of cockerels first.

Last night was day 14. All three are still alive!


Anything special I should do for lockdown in a forced air? Cover the fan somehow? I wouldn't think the fan was low enough to get the chicks hurt, but knowing chicks, they will probably stand on eggs just to shove their head in.

I imagine that would not be fun to clean up.
