[DwayneNLiz]

Wow, back, and can't catch up! Had a Navy Grandson get married last night. Will share a photo..because it's a classic pose of the

sailor kissing .. this is his new wife.

Congratulations to them both!!! So beautiful!

Well, have my silkie eggs going into lock down this Sunday. Crossing fingers they hatch well. I'm due for a good silkie hatch.

Xx fingers crossed xx

Well I come out with a hatch of 75 out of 96 eggs. Here are some photos.

Sizzle chick

Polish/Nsked Neck cross. Fully feathered.

Just some random babies.

Here are some fully feathered ones also. Both parents were Naked Necked, but had big bibs, some all five chicks from that cross turned out without the naked Necks. Boo. Oh well pullets will work if that is what they are to be bred back to NN's.

Congrats pretty babies

Updates: There were 7 chicks born this week of my staggered eggs. There are currently 2 brown eggs from one of my hens and 2 EE eggs from my Easter Egger in the incubator due to hatch this holiday weekend. Of the turkeys due the 26th hatched on the 25th one weak and floppy. I have been playing nurse to the weaker one after reading on BYC about Floppy chick syndrome. Now however I am afraid either it has a respiratory thing or it has aspirated when I dipped its beak or syringe fed it as I am hearing a little weird noise that wasn't there yesterday.

good luck for the rest of your hatch sorry about this one

This is Daisy. Our daughter is naming them as they hatch, of course

This is Periwinkle. She is a Lavender Orpington. There is another Lavender Orpington zipping now. The other four aren't pipped yet. Two Ameracauna mixes were pipped this morning and haven't hatched yet. No pips on any of the three Russian Orloffs, the big green Ameracauna mix, or the FBCM. It's getting a bit crazy in there, the unhatched eggs are getting kicked around quite a bit, but it's not recommended to remove chicks if others are pipped, correct? The black one that hatched at noon is very active.

yayyyy chickies!!

Woo hoo! I am having a great hatch!

I have 4 of my very special silkies (mom is blue best of show, and hasn't laid for two years, because she is older, so I am very happy!)

5 rocks, 3 more black silkies from my black roo and blue/splash mammas, and 2 Ameraucanas! 1 more baby to go and I will be at a 100% hatch, minus two that died in the shells during very early development.

I haven't been on for a bit because I had a huge assignment due for school. I am so glad to have that done!

Let them in for a bit!

I think Bielfelders look pretty similar to this, right?

I would think, very similar chickens

Good morning, everyone!

We have six hatched, two pipped, two zipping, five still unpipped. Day 21 ends at noon. We're warming up the brooder and will move the drier chicks later this morning. The relative humidity outside here right now is 89% We have the windows open without the AC on, so humidity loss is unlikely.

Is this a blood ring? Day 6 - lavender Orpington
