Horrible hatching rate.....

[Kickingbird]

Well, got my second batch of chicks off yesterday....18 chicks out of 40 eggs originaly set!...OUCH. Less than 50% but some of the eggs were realy old (over a month) So all things considered It was not bad. The new batch candled at about 90% fertile so it should be better. Here is a pic of yesterdays hatch and the chicks from last week.

Just sharing my frustration...LOL
