:lol: It a saying I heared. If you have 10 eggs to put under your hen that dosn't mean you'll get 10 chicks. There is usually always a bad egg, one gets kicked out, or crushed. So thats why you count the chicks when their here ;).
well, waht you do is count them and what ever eggs dont hatch you subtract

and yes i know that if you put 10 eggs in a bator dont mean you get 10 eggs
Sometimes you get 11.

not likely, most often if that happens 1 of the chicks die

and the chances of a 100% hatch are low, even with a good fertility rate, your bound to have at least 1 rotten one

I got a lot of 100% hatches and one time both twins lived.

I had a bunch of Hy-line browns and a RIR roo and the hatch rate was great on them and that was turning by hand.

ok maybe i was wrong about hatch rate but twins living isnt too often, and sometimes neither live

I have two litters coming next week. Litter one is NZ doe bred to Cali buck; litter two is Cali doe bred to NZ buck. Later in the month I have a NZ doe bred to a Cali buck who should kindle; I am pretty sure I got a positive palpation today (day 14).

I had 5 nice FW kits born yesterday morning. I brought them inside last night as it was going to be quite cold (and I am tired of losing kits).
They are doing well....... and so are my two, 5 day old Holland Lops.
