Thanks. She has 2 friends to play with right now. 3 more to hatch. So here's my question. Anyone know if wing sexing Austra Whites work like normal?? I've been reading and it's unclear but at least I found the coined name for my little mix.

awww cute little fluffy butt

Thanks. It's hatch mate Angle is another white leghorn/Black australorp mix chick. They are in the incubator getting dry and stronger.

Well. After a day of heartbreak yesterday and a fearful night of losing the crushed egg chick I woke to.... VIPER!!!! The miracle chick that I thought would die. I was thinking Miracle but my kids said name it Snake. We settled on Viper. Boy/ Girl. Works both ways.

I've been heartbroken. This morning I had 12 about to hatch eggs under hen.... After church I see one that looks to be half crushed and only 5 others. I've looked for signs and have found none. My guess is a snake. The one with a crushed she'll still breaths but idk. I'm giving the poor thing...

Thanks for the idea... Unfortunate I don't have a crate. I've gently moved momma and eggs into an enclosed plastic nest box with a bottom and roof... She hopped right in and started barking at me so....

Oh what to do what to do...... I've got 12 eggs under a hen that look to be about to hatch ANY time now but we have a solid WEEK of storms coming in. Leave them for momma to tend or bring them in upon hatching and protect them from massive rain fall predicted.

Thanks for the congrats everyone. My daughter was so proud.

nice. I have a hen that said I wasn't done.

Ok. I'm going back through and trying to add a post with the numbered pics.

I think I would of stood a chance if I had of remembered to NUMBER my entered pictures.

I did like wise. I had to move them out of the big bird pin because that's about to be remodeled. The proud momma and eggs are in the little bird coop. I feel secure that momma can protect babies from those young squirts. Most of the bigger young birds will be moving into the new coop leaving...

My husband thinks I did it on purpose.

Well it happened.... I turned my incubator off, cleaned it up and put it away saying no more babies until the new coop and brooder are built. I just moved a broody I found with 12 eggs into a safer area. it's storming outside and the poor nest was under a board that floods. Had 14 but 2...

Final count... 6 cute chicken chicks ( 4 black Australorp and 2 white leghorn/Australorp mixes) and 5 ducks healthy. 1 last duck needed help to zip. Poor thing tried to pip both sides or got rolled or something. Not sure if it wil make it. Ducklings have been sent to their mommy. They were her...

Ok. As of right now I have 6 chicks and 3 ducklings hatched. 3 more solid duck egg pips and 1 just internally pipped.

Woke up this morning to a text. My friends order of chicks were all DOA when they got to the post office. So sad. Then I went into my chick room and find this..... They think I'm mommy. They huddle under my hand when I go in there.

Only the 1 pip but lots of rocking and rolling and noise from the 12 eggs that are the second part of my staggered hatch.

I've got another pip!!! First pip of this second part of my staggered hatch. I hope the ducks hatch.

I thought so too.
