How many did you set?

idk. lost count. i think it was 3 18 packs. about half quit by last week it seems

 

[Chic Rustler]

And how many have hatched?

not sure. a few. im gonna open it tomorrow and pull em out

Sometimes you get a great hatch, sometimes you don’t. Put enough eggs in the incubator and you will finally wind up with enough chicken for your family.

there were some wet chicks in there this morning. so maybe they will keep hatching. gonna pull em after work

why does it look like they're playing tic-tac-toe?

21 so far. one more was zipping out. i wet it down with a spray bottle and closed it back up. well see


we got at least one olive egger. ive never gotten an olive egg to hatch before. pretty stoked

My granddaughters want me to have chicks for them! But in a temporary place, that ain't happening. It may be next year before I build a coop, they can come help build and paint it.

Congtatulations on the Olive Egger!
