    Bread/Pastry Themed Hatch-a-long!

    Brownie hatched! @TwoCrows I couldn’t get a photo but I will in the morning. She is black with a touch of yellow under her beak, and a single comb! She is an Ancona cross. I’m interested to see if the other two from my Ancona will have single or rose combs! Last time they were all rose.

    Bread/Pastry Themed Hatch-a-long!

    3 and 7 popped out! 3, Babka @servant_of_fluffs I’m almost certain this is a cross with my red partridge rock. So cute! And 7, Monkey Bread! @SunriseChickers Ended up with a single comb, so interesting! So far in all my hatches, all my chicks end up with rose combs (like dad), except for...

    HELP! Advice needed, is this an umbilical hernia? If so is there anything I should do, or let it absorb?

    I think so too, just wanted to make sure I wasn’t ignoring something more serious! I’m glad there are only two of them out right now because my biggest concern is that it would become a pecking target!

    3rd chick to hatch so far, peeping loudly and trying to move. But I noticed its navel is quite pronounced and it is leaving a small trail of blood when it moves around. It doesn’t seem to be actively bleeding? It just drags a little as the baby is trying to move about. Will this absorb with...

    Bread/Pastry Themed Hatch-a-long!

    I put them all in pretty late in the evening on Saturday when I loaded the incubator. No babies out this morning but way more pips! 3 Babka, 6 Panettone, 7 Monkey, 10 Cinnabun, 12 Eclair, 16 Baguette (just want to share this cracks me up even more because this egg is the narrowest and longest...

    @PopoMyers 12, Eclair, has pipped! I think on the wrong end but I had a feeling there was a possibility of that, as both ends of that egg are quite blunt and large. I’ll just monitor and see how she does on her own. Probably won’t be out until tomorrow but there is some chirping going on in there!

    Okay! I candled for lockdown and I’m happy to report most are doing great. Getting the humidity up and going. We did unfortunately lose #4, Crumble. 😞 We did an eggtopsy and I couldn’t decide if she had a yolk sac infection, or if it was just beginning to decompose. Very cute little tiny...

    Bread/Pastry Themed Hatch-a-long!

    I did a quick candle today to pull the clears out, and check on the others after the power outage. Sadly Muffin quit :( So, I’ve got 16 happy embryos. Which is quite a bit lower than 20, but that’s okay. Can’t really do anything about clear eggs - can’t make something out of nothing! But I’m...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Wow, got two eggs from our 12 year old hen today (well she laid the other one yesterday)! I’m telling you I wish I could have hatched from her in her prime. I cannot believe this bird is still alive, healthy, and laying eggs! Are they odd shaped? Yeah, and the shells are weird, but wow! I don’t...
