Farm Episode 36: Incubator Problems With Fertilized Cream Legbar Eggs

Hatching fertile eggs that are purchased from elsewhere are ALWAYS a gamble. 
1. You trust their word.
2. You pay a hefty price.
3. You hope for a high hatch rate of more than 80%.
4. If they are shipped, do they send more so if any break or scramble during transportation. 
5. If you purchase in person, how did they handle the eggs before the sale?
6. Do they guarantee or give credit or anything for your money?
7. You visually see their end product and hope you will hatch the same. Hopefully even better!
8. And lastly, loosing a chick prior to final hatch is always heart wrenching.
9. 12 eggs with only 5 hatch is a terrible hatch rate! I would be embarrassed to sell these to the public.

Day 1: Out of my $$$ dozen Cream Legbar fertile hatching eggs purchased at the Chattahoochee Valley Poultry Show swap in Newnan, Georgia, I can honestly state I was extremely disappointed. Kayla (my chicken loving sister) and I both purchased a dozen each, now we have a competition. At least 3 in each dozen were scrambled when we purchased them. I left my turner off for 3 days to see if there was any hope for them. That left approximately 9 eggs each to see towards fully hatch ability. I did not candle again until day 18. The 3 scrambled were still undeveloped or possible infertile and 3 more that were undeveloped. So, that left me with 6 possible to hatch. 
Day 19: no movement from paid eggs, all of mine were rocking and pipping through their shell. 
Day 20: Kayla is hatching her farm eggs and so am I. Still no movement from the Cream Legbars yet. 
Day 21: Wake up to a few of my farm eggs (including 3 that were 11-13 days old prior to going into the incubator) and no movement from the Cream Legbars. Later in the evening one Cream Legbar pipped. Yes, I texted Kayla. It is a competition 😆.
Day 22: Woke up to 1 male and 3 female Cream Legbars, a bunch more Rooster Roulettes, leaving 2 farm eggs and 2 Cream Legbar to hatch. One Cream Legbar zipped but stopped. Most of the time this is called ‘failure to thrive’. I could still see breathing and then noticed there was no more room inside the incubator with all the shells and chicks to move. I removed all the egg shells, then chicks at 4 at a time (video) and left two unhatched eggs and the 2 slow hatchers in the incubator. That evening, I stepped in to assist in hatching the last Cream Legbar and one farm egg (video to come). After “their bath”, I kept them in the incubator overnight and set it up like an ICU. 
Day 23: Cream Legbar is dry and a female. Yeah! The farm egg chick has a yolk sack that will not absorb and I will not allow it to suffer. I waited until about lunchtime to move the female in with the rest of the chicks. The last 2 eggs never did anything so they were trashed. Lost one grey poof chick in the brooder because it got wedged itself between the feeder and the wall and passed. So now adding the female Cream Legbar I am still at 12 chicks in the brooder.

I love cards and letters and you might even see me read it on camera.
