To update on my egg with the air cell in the middle: The chick hatched on its own! I was so surprised! She is drying off in the incubator now but looks perfectly healthy.
Well my hatch is done, all 6 eggs that made it to lockdown hatched! The last one was a wrong end pip but she hatched just fine by herself. I ended up with 3 boys and 3 girls, gave them all to my broody hen and she was thrilled with them. She has been sitting for 3 weeks even though I took the...
4/6 are out now and the last 2 eggs are pipped, one on the wrong end. Looks like 3 are definitely boys. The 4th I think is a girl. I gave 2 of the chicks to a broody who has been sitting for a while and she seems to be accepting them. I’ll give her the others too if all goes well.
Well here are some pics of the chicks that turned out to be mixed breed. I have 14 now, no internal pips on the 2 remaining eggs in the bator so I think my hatch is done.
8 chicks out so far and most of them seem to be black. Definitely not the color of Swedish Flower hen chicks! I guess my in-laws were wrong when they told me this rooster was hatched from my eggs last year😂 Oh well, they are cute little barnyard mixes I guess! I will post pics when they are in...
I realized yesterday that I forgot to open the air hole on the incubator for the entire incubation. I have 1 chick hatched and several pips, but one seems to have zipped and got stuck. Time to get ready for some assisted hatches I guess. 😬
Oops, this was meant for the April hatch a long but oh...
My Swedish Flower eggs are in lockdown now, so I moved the 6 Cream Legbar eggs to my little incubator. The Legbar eggs are on day 13, they are still going strong. It’s definitely a bit harder to see inside the blue eggs but it’s not impossible. I wonder if there is an extra layer in the shell or...
How is everyone’s eggs doing? I have tossed 2 clears and 1 quitter, and I am now down to 6 Cream Legbar eggs. If I get 1 or 2 pullets to hatch I will be happy. 😁
