Good morning

Thank you all for sharing!

I had one chick that hatched with cross beak and one eye too. She was my only female. It's sad but culling has to be done.
Don't give up! Although its sad, Use this as a learning experience and try again. Were you able to figure out why the others didn't hatch?

Have one more egg hoping its still alive want another female
Am - 2 hatched / 1 black and 1 maybe Splash or lavendar not sure
WO - 1 hatched / still one more egg in bator but wasn't...
Morning all it's cold and windy here. Found my first frozen egg this morning. Someone must have laid during the night for it was under the roost.
Really wonderful to know that you have many BYC friends that care and look out for one another here.
Returning to stalking mode now.
