Congratulations! Good hatch results. What are you feeding your breeding birds?
Thanks!
They have a combination of layer, game bird layer, oatmeal and peas. And treats!

Yeyyyyy,
tell us who is who? or how many of what?
Out of 30 eggs 28 hatched!
4 Bielefelder's 3 pullets and 1 cockeral
8 silkies
The rest showgirls.
Blue, Black, Paint and Splashes.
I lowered the humidity during hatching to under 65% seemed to make a difference. The silkies and showgirls popped out of the eggs without an issue. I just had one silkie pip and get totally wedged into the wrong end of the shell. Happy very healthy chicks under 2 Mom's until I sell them.
great results, just proves the theory the humidity as recommended by the incubator companies is too high.

It's like our 6th wedding anniversary present. He got me an SW357 (6 chambers so that made sense) and I got him 6 doughnuts!

I blame
@Kbr42 for what happened at our house, apparently our chats now have to be monitored! I NEVER hatch this early in the season but these are a couple of Salmon Faverolles chicks that appeared. DOn't know if there'll be any more than these 2 because the eggs were cold when collected.
