Much anticipated hatch produces dismal results X2

The 'bator fiasco of ought-9, I'm calling it.

The June hatch resulted in three (!!!) live chicks. All of which are from Mona, my black tailless
Araucana. Great for her little fecund self, but I had paid cash money for breeders eggs as well, none of which lived. The blame for this disappointment is placed on our ridiculous weather, mucho mucho rainage. High humidity does not bode well for hatching chicks. My three little survivors are now 6 weeks old, 1 (!!!) girl, 2 boys.

As I type, I have a peeping 'bator. Despite many operational flubs and lack of commitment to the project (the necessary manual turning of eggs was at an all time low), we managed to get living chick (s?) So far, no ducks. In fact, out of 12 duck eggs, only 2 remain at this stage. All the rest were removed for lack of progress or scary black sludgeness.

I think a silky hen will be acquired this coming Spring.
