The Eggs began hatching on 11/13, just one, but on 11/14 eleven chicks hatched. I am truly amazed at nature. In all my reading of hatching chickens, it is said to keep the incubator at 99.5 degrees farenheight, and between a certain humidity. Well during this incubation period, we had three power outages. One on the 2nd day of incubation, one on the 15th and another on the 16th day. As of the time of this post we had a success rate of just below 50 %. The chicks that have hatched were a day late, so it appears that the outages delayed the development. The batch of chicks that have hatched so far are 9 Black Copper Marans , one blue egg and two brown eggs from the school flock.
I thought I would post on my own post. As of Monday morning Nov 16 we had 19 new chicks!
