Sorry yours didn't integrate. I have Match and April chicks 3 weeks apart and put them together when the younger ones were a few days old and they did well. My chick doors on the brooder has been open for about 3 weeks I think so they spend basically all day in the coop, a couple have...
My goal is not staggered. I mean I have done it before but only 3 days difference so nothing like this that they will just be starting as others are hatching. This is stressful. Lol
oh for those that do staggered hatches (thought there were some) in the same incubator. how do you work it with humidity. These eggs will be on day 2-5 when the others are in lockdown. So I think I should have it lower for a bit after the others hatch to "even it out" but what should I keep it...
how long has it been for the wrong end pip? They can take up to 48 hrs since it is like an internal and external pip in one. If you are worried you can make the pip hole a TINY bit bigger so you know air is getting in. I had one that pipped just about in the middle of the air cell and it...
They are doing great!!! Sometimes a bit of pecking from the older ones but not much at all. There is one specific little one that is now always with the older ones which I found funny. Guess she just likes being with the big kids.
My one that I know is splash is like a yellow with tints of blue. Most times my blues are blue. This one, harder to see in pics, is more blue with tints of yellow undertones. Mom is a blue frizzle project Cochin,. Dad is either blue Cochin or Splash project Cochin
OMG sounds like we do!!!!! Colored eggs HATE HATE HATE me!!!!!!!! Even if I buy chicks that are colored egg layers something goes wrong!!!! (ie: OE that lays brown, EE that lays such pale blue it looks white, CCL that I think internally lays so no eggs from her)......
Good luck!!!!!!!! I have Lavender Splash Orpingtons, Lavender Mottled Orpingtons, and Lavender Orpingtons in the incubator this time! I hatched 2 "lav orps" from my breeder last time and they hatched black.. LOL So she isn't sure if she has a split imposter in her lav pen or...
last year I had some shipped eggs with HORRIBLY saddled air cells and they all hatched with ZERO issues!!!!! I will find the pictures and post them. But they were BAD! so I wouldn't give up hope because of that.
can you bump up the temp on your incubator? if you can then I would do that...
I can't wait to see how she grows out. right now she just looks lavender with a brownish head. LOL The breeder told me that was an Isabel Lavender Brahma. Which I was REALLY hoping to get so I was thrilled!!!!!
Lol you sound like me. I finally convinced my husband to expand the run and adding a 6x6 coop..... Lol. I think I got a lavender Isabel Brahma in my last hatch!!!!! So hoping it is a pullet!
Does this one look splash or blue???? I have 2 for sure blues from my frizzle girl, one for sure splash from her..... Then this one that I can't quite tell....
