I actually think there's a thread somewhere on here that discusses the breed standard for French BCMs as well. They need to be a certain shape from what I recall.
@Sc_chickengirl take your time updating us! It's a stressful time with your hatch as I have been catching up. Especially with the...
@gimmie birdies Oooh, are you going with a theme for this babies?
Please post pictures when they doo!
PLease see the first post! and your egg hatched!!!
yay!!! they are due on feb 13th, correct?
I did eggtopsies on my remaining four eggs, two were quitters and two failed to pip internally...
@2ndTink, I am so sorry to hear about the losses! Losing eggs is always hard. Don't be hard on yourself! I would also like to follow along any Chonkers you attempt to hatch later as well.
The updates with the science are very much appreciated.
Hello all,
I have the following available. These are STRAIGHT run as I hatched them myself and are vaccinated for Mareks. $18 per chick - please PM for further details.
Today is DAY 22!
congrats to the following sponsors!
@Farm innovators @SwampPrincessChick and a very special WOO HOO for @BobStuart's Holden, who hatched today!
My chosen egg also hatched!
I have gone ahead and moved the older and more established chicks into the brooder today.
And now we...
TONIGHT IS DAY 21!
The fiance and I actually had a nice dinner tonight (we had poke) in the city after I left from work. Hair, makeup and nails done and all, you know? But, he then insisted that we hurry back to the incubator and see what surprises lay in store for us and GUESS WHAT!
NINE MORE...
Her user on TikTok and YT is @MontgomeryFrizzles. SUPER COOL. Here is her first attempt, "Jar Jar Beaks". Apparently they are others that tried something similar on tiktok, but she's the only one that I saw have a successful "hatch".
@KathiQuacks - It happens. We can't be there all the time for the eggs and can't always be available to assist. It's understandable. RIP Turmeric and Howard, you weren't here long but there was so much love for you both!!!
Laffy is SOOOO big now compared to Peach and the others!
Also wanted to...
This is why I was obsessed with a tiktoker who was doing jar eggs for several months until one finally hatched. It was amazing to see the process without the shell in the way.
WE HAVE THREE EXTERNAL PIPS!!
(for those that don't know, I work 10 hours shifts and my commute is an hour to and from work, so during my work week, updates are sparse!)
Anyway!!! THE EGGS ARE ROCKING AND A ROLLING! Maybe baby chicks will burst forth tonight or tomorrow morning!
I love everyone's messages and pictures for the eggs. Meanwhile, I keep hearing peeping but I know its probably from the garage, yet I keep pulling yhe blanket off the incubator to see if anyone has started rocking and rolling.
Today is DAY 19. Does any one have any guesses as to who is going...
TONIGHT IS DAY 18!!!
how the time has flown my hatch-along friends. Final turn happened today and everyone seems to filling out their shells nicely!! The person who sold me these eggs anticipated the chicks looking like EE chipmunks. Stay tuned!
