Wowza!
Hatched my first round of eggs from our own ladies and gentleman today. 100% fertility and 100% hatch rate from the Jubilee Orpingtons, the Swedish Flower Hens, and the Salish Seascapes. Not a single chick lagged behind or needed help. Everyone is perky and running about. I am beyond impressed.
I attribute this to the following:
really healthy robust flocks since I switched to fermented Natural Farm Feeds Premium Layer feed and afternoon snacks of Black Oil Sunflower Seeds and Triticale/Barley Scratch.
really good incubators: Brinsea Ovation Ex.
reliable hatching system.
excellent kitten supervisors. Cupcake and Cookie paid keen attention to the whole process. You can see Cookie here, checking out her new floofy friends.
