Thats great! I remember our first incubator hatch years ago.....you learn so much through trial and error. Getting the temp and humidity right can be a bit hard, and then rearing. Make sure water dish is shallow, and they have enough heat. Now you need to get some pictures for us....he he he he
Hope more hatch for you and hope you get your hatch percentage rate up!!! Best of luck!!!! and keep us posted

Well no more chicks hatch out, i cracked the rest of the eggs and there was only 3 chicks dead in shell, the rest were rotten. but at least i got some out and here they are!!!!  ok the black ones are ancona X Silkie and all the rest are a wheaten wyandot bantam X silkie. my fav is the little buff one. i wish it was a purebred silkie. oh well.  my grandma gets her pick of chicks then the rest will be sold when they get a little older. |
