As I come down to my final couple of hatches for the year did a quick review of my hatches. I was at a 70 percent hatch rate for all eggs set. When I take out the infertiles I get closer to 80 percent. Generally happy with all the chickens performance. My worst performer was my Whams. My best was my dark Cornish. Ducks weren't as successful, in part because I did a set in an old incubator. But even in the brinsea I had one unsuccessful hatch that brought my numbers down. Overall ducks were at about 40 percent. Turkeys were a little better, slightly over 50 percent. I will be curious to see how the turkeys do with my own eggs versus shipped eggs. My geese, were 6 for 9, the easiest of all to count. Anybody else doing a year end review.
