My friend took a few pictures of the chicks today. The last 2 look like they are Cream Legbar mixes, due to the crests on their heads. I’m super excited about that! I love crests! And feathered feet! My guess is that the 2nd (the light one) is a boy, and the 3rd (the brown one) is a girl...
I would try sneaking it under her. I’ve had a hen accept chicks that were a week younger than the others.
But if you feel like it, you could play it safe and keep the chick inside.
I love crests! They are so cute!
And I noticed after looking a little closer at the pictures of my chicks, that some of them have feathered feet! I’ve never had feathered feet chickens before! I’ve wanted some for a while, but I didn’t know that I would get some in this batch!
Buying Barnyard...
My friends went to check on the chickens and the incubator again today and said that are are only 7 eggs left! 5 of the 7 eggs that are left are the CL eggs, and only one of the CL eggs are actually developing (the CL eggs went in about 2-3 days after the others, so they should be on day 20-21)...
They are so cute! I love the colors of the chicks.
I normally wait till day 25 to get rid of eggs. That’s good they don’t stink.
I think she probably would take them. My hen took some chicks three days after hers hatched. I hope the other two eggs hatch. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
My friends (who are taking care of the chickens for me since I am away) went to go check on the incubator yesterday and found a bunch of chicks! Yesterday was day 21. They told me that there were 15 chicks and 14 eggs left. The five eggs in the carton are the CCL eggs, and only one of them...
Lol. I haven’t had any hens brood outside the nesting boxes yet. Although, I wouldn’t mind having a few surprise chicks 🤣
That’s good the cracked egg doesn’t look too bad. I use a candle that isn’t scented or colored and I just melt a little bit of it and let it drip onto my eggs that have...
I'm on day 5 with the Legbar eggs. The Legbar eggs are 2 days behind the Barnyard mix eggs. There still is a chance for them to start developing...... but normally I can see the Embryo by now when I candle the eggs.
I'm sorry that you awful experiences. I hope this 3rd time goes well for you...
