That's not bad. I usually get 60-70% hatch rate. I have a duck that has just hatched 11/12 ducklings on her own. Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Albert Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 That's good going. I usually end up with a gooey mess in silver foil and the chocolate is easier to pour than eat. :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medic1281 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I put 6 eggs under a broody hen, first day she kicked out one of the eggs, then 3 weeks later the 5 remaining ones hatched. So 100% for the ones she sat on. Never raised chicks before but I think having a broody hen makes things a lot easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
