I only have a few chicks from April that I kept, just one or two Olive eggers if my banding system wasn’t messed up. The bearded blue is looking sooooo close!!! I ended up keeping one roo from this batch, poor Baby Kevin ended up being a turd like his dad. So far Mr Fancy isn’t bothering anyone...

She’s so happy to not be alone! But itty bitty competitively 😂

Last night’s peep is going to be an only child, the second egg candled dead this morning. So that’s a wrap for my April hatches! Luckily I’m getting a shipment of chicks arriving tomorrow and she can go in with them

One teeny tiny little black puff is bopping about the incubator 🎉 Thank you all for holding my hand during our first minor assist! She looks great

Hoping to check soon! I hear lots of loud peeping… My four year old asked me to sit by her for “this many ✋🏽🤚🏽” lol, but you know how that goes! I’ve raised a monster! She won’t stay in her bed now that the incubator in her room is off. Guess that means I need to set more eggs 😅

So far I’ve never had to help, I try to be out of the house since it’s sooooo tempting lol

I swear I’ve read this before and I am just finding info on pipping tonight 😩 I quickly just popped the cap off and everything felt so crispy, but I’ve never felt the hatching egg before 🤷🏽‍♀️ She was drying off in the line that was exposed (the feathers)

Oh that would be amazing! I’d probably be so excited and drop the wee thing lol. That’s what my initial feel for helping was, just take the little lid off a bit so it can push out properly on its own

There’s only the two eggs and the second hasn’t pipped yet. I know they say 24 hours from pip isn’t a worry, but I wasn’t sure if zipping was different. Thanks for the insight!

Buffy 2.0 has been zipping for hours, how long is too long? Part of the membrane that was on some paper toweling looks a bit yellowed. She’s still peeping away, I’ve just never had one take this long!

Buffy the buff silkies eggs are hatching! First one pipped and I’m so excited to see what they’ll look like 👀 Potential dads are blue silkie or blue Cochin

Awwww, look at him yelling away 😍

Snow day, two of my favourite things: chick cuddles and knitting wool socks

Oh wow! It always surprises me how much heat chickens can produce just with their bodies

So this has been a trial run of my new Maticoopx too and an 80% total hatch rate! This is a 100% for bantams and a personal record for all the home bred hatches of my large fowl. I’ve done a 11:12 in the Kebonnix for locally sourced eggs, but many that buy my hatching eggs have a better hatch...

And I think that’s a wrap! One egg looks 99% certain dead and the second has veins, it mightttttt have been set later 🫠 I really need to start marking dates! Everyone moved downstairs and using the hated heat lamp since I can’t fit two heating pad caves in there… The week old chicks are...

3 eggs left, one is zipping 🎉 Cantbwait to pull everyone out!

There’s several light chicks that hatched overnight, my Polish roo has been a busy boy…

Tell me Karen is your daddy without telling me 👀

I always love how they all rush to the sides and want you to cuddle them, it’s so sweet!
