    4th of July Hatch-Along!

    As an adult all of the white will be gone and she will look exactly like a fully lavender chicken. But I love that when chickens carry the mottle gene, it is visible in the babies! (Unless they are white like this ones mama haha.) If they carry one copy of the gene, they are mottled carriers...

    Vegetable Soup Hatch-a-long eggs are here!

    If you have a q tip, you can dip it in warm water or oil and moisten the white part of the membrane to see the veins a little clearer! It looks to me like he may be close to being ready. Is he making frequent chewing motions still? When I assist, I take a little more shell off, wet the...

    Come on babies!!!! Hopefully we see some pipping soon! Since you saw Kale had internally pipped, that is great news. Hopefully she will pip by tomorrow!

    Just have to share a picture of this little chick, who is lavender but carries mottle! Which was a big surprise, it means that Frenchie, my white satin girl carries both lavender and mottle (before this hatch I didn’t know that she carried either!) This chick will feather in fully lavender, but...

    Here is a pic of the 35 hatched chicks!! Shortly after I took this pic, someone came to pick up their new babies (8 of them) and take them home! They were so excited!!

    4th of July Hatch-Along!

    Okay everyone! All eggs with a number before 60 are out of the incubator. 60-73 are still incubating and they have a couple of days to go before they start hatching! I ended up helping a few babies yesterday evening, all of the assisted babies have been doing great (I think it was about 4-5.)...

    Vegetable Soup Hatch-a-long eggs are here!

    I think it is fine if the moisture stays high! The only issue I have ever seen from safety holes is that the membrane dries out sometimes and they get stuck. If the holes are small and humidity is high then it shouldn’t affect anything! Hopefully they will internally pip just fine! I would just...

    I gave Martha #22 @oldhenlikesdogs a hand, she was struggling to get zipped out all the way, but was ready to make her debut! To my surprise, she is lavender! Her mom is Frenchie, a white F2 satin that doesn’t have the blue egg gene 😭 but she is the sweetest, friendliest girl and so pretty, so I...

    Okay and this is what I woke up to this morning - 13 chicks in the incubator 😂🙌 Just mass chaos! Okay first the lavender group - they are all babies from 3 of my cute F1 pullets. I randomly assigned F1 eggs to them and just took a group photo. #33 Stars @Ecarroll #44 Bottle Rocket @2ndTink...

    4th of July Hatch-Along!

    Okay, a tonnn of babies have hatched!! A few last night right before bed and then like 10 overnight 🤣 I am making my best guess as to who came out of each egg 😅 And some I just took group photos for! These babies hatched last night: #20 Dela - cute little white chick - has a curled toe and...

    What color is this silkie chick?

    I am still leaning towards white! If lavender, it would have tiny faint black stripes through the feathers!
