So, the last egg hatched last night, for a grand total of 5! This is an autosexing breed and we think we have 2 boys and 3 girls. What do you guys think? Here is the sexing thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/newly-hatched-silver-bielefelders.1616513/

Hopefully tilting to the female side.

I was mistaken about no pips. I moved the egg to a different incubator quickly so we could put the fluffed chicks in the brooder - and it had popped a hole on the bottom of the egg, but was upside down. We can see it scissoring away. Once the last one is hatched, I'll post some photos and then...

For some reason, I can't post images? 🐣🎉 **Day 2 of hatching updates** Our incubator is bustling with new life as three more adorable silver Bielefelder chicks joined our flock this morning! 😊 Keep your fingers crossed 🤞 for the last egg; although there aren't any visible pips yet, we're...

How long does it usually take for the rest of the eggs to hatch? This little chick is crying incessantly. I know I can't open the incubator because of two pipped eggs, but he will need to eat at some point

Another egg is pipping! So far, the other two aren't showing signs of hatching, but around 8:30pm is day zero on the incubator

Second egg is pipped in two places and our little chick awaits eagerly to share the Bater.

Lol! Yes. Well, maybe since the others haven't hatched, we can say he's waitin' on a woman (or 4). 🎵 🎶

That's a boy right? It's autosexing and doesn't have racing stripes. Or is it not adequately fluffed yet to tell. We were surprised this one hatched so early too.

So, we had an early hatcher last night. The chick is hopping around between the eggs, packing at them and chirping and periodically snuggling up with them. One of the eggs it keeps returning to is pipped. The chick can probably hear the other baby inside of it. I'm pretty sure. This is a male...

Hey all you peeps ☺️ following our cheeps 🐣, it's update time! Tonight, we took our egg incubation process up a notch by entering lockdown mode and conducting one final round of egg candling 🕯️ to inspect our precious eggs. Unfortunately, feeling a bit under the weather 🤢, I decided to forgo...

Thanks :) I appreciate it. We are very excited for sure.

So, it's time for our day 14 candling video. We are using the Nurture Right 360 Incubator to incubate, but the candling is being done on top of one that we got off Amazon that has a built in light. At the time, that incubator was in lockdown saving some eggs a hen had to abandon in a staggered...

We recently acquired six Silver Bielefelder hatching eggs from the GreenFire Farms on March 4, 2024. Their generosity surprised us with a 7th egg "just in case." On March 11, 2024, we conducted our inaugural candling session. Venturing into egg incubation for the first time, our excitement...

So far, the incubator seems to be doing it's job rotating on time and keeping an even temp and humidity.

We're thrilled to share our first-ever hatch with you! Tonight, we've set 7 beautiful Silver Bielefelder eggs from GreenFire Farms in our incubator, and the excitement is palpable. As beginners, we're eager to learn and share in this journey with the amazing community here at...
