Yes I got one chick from them - yellow down with black spots so I'm hoping it's another hen just like Cowgirl - already have Cowgirl Jr so this will be Cowgirl the third! The NN (never-pipped) chick was also Roger's with NN Blue hen - so he's still doing a fine job. I think I was collecting...

Please check your local laws regarding electrifying top of walls (at property perimeter) - I checked that a couple years ago in Mesa and I believe at that time it was not legal. Also I checked laws if I could razor wire (or similar) top of walls and don't remember what I found out but decided...

8 Bielefelder chicks 2 Bf/NN chicks 1 Roger/Cowgirl NN chick We had electrical work/shutoff happening on Friday so I had incubator hooked up to generator waiting on 6 more to hatch - this was 2 days after hatch day as counted on the incubator. I didn't see any signs of movement or pipping on...

Yes that's perfect! I'm waiting to count male/female until they are all dry and I can take pic. Some are not as chipmunk striped as others so not completely sure.

Quick update... 3 Bluebaby eggs and 3 of my Bf eggs hatched, 3 more pipping now 2 from last week 8 total chicks NOW, 3 pipping, 4 left after that

Incuview incubator has 15 eggs that could possibly hatch today to Thursday. 3 or 4 of @BlueBaby Bielefelder eggs are starting to pip already. This is the incubator egg count right now: 8 Bf eggs from Bluebaby (4 removed from incubator a week ago - 2 quitters, 2 infertile) 4 Bf eggs from my...

It's the only video I've ever uploaded so I'm not sure how to make it play here automatically. That's all new to me...learning

2nd chick hatching video...

I used to usePurina flock-raiser as an all-flock but I think it's actually higher protien if I remember correctly. I would also use it when I wanted to collect eggs for hatching. The All-purpose poultry I use now is a store brand - Olsen's Feed Store in Chino Valley (also Prescott Valley, Mayer...

8 days left on the countDOWN timer- I think that means they are to hatch the day after that on Day 0.

2nd broody egg hatched! It looks about the same but seems to already have a comb (that I didn't notice on first one) so we will see if roo or not.

Not yet, but I think it is moving still- I noticed it is #8 of the original 8 that I let her sit on so it must be behind the other one by a few days. I don't remember what number I marked on the Friday-midnite-hatched egg (maybe 5?). If it was still under her it would be abandoned by now so good...

I like bowties!

1 chick hatched 9-15 around midnight...pics... NN Bielefelder mix looks to be red or splash with a bowtie, but we will see how it actually colors up...

Not yet. If I stare long enough it rocks a little - but could be my imagination so I try not to stare!

Here I go again with a staggered hatch

One of Broody's egg (now in incubator) is rocking! I stopped her two eggs from auto turning yesterday because candled they looked at least 17 or 18 days to me (maybe more). I just now took the turner arm off while these 2 possibly hatch. I'll have to turn the rest of the tray thru the vent hole...

My Hatchkeeper app says I started on 6th. And I just found where I wrote it down on the 6th. Maybe I started the incubator on 5th to get it ready. Incubator countdown says I'm on day 14 (countDOWN - it just now changed from 15)

No I only took 2 Barred Hollands (since I have multiple BH roosters still) and 4 clear NN eggs out. I think all the Bf have something in them - hard to tell because brown eggs and it's pretty early -only day 6 I think. Yes Ft Knox it shall be - but at least Broody is now broken!

Update 2 on Broody- I had to take 2 eggs that survived a jealous ruckus from other hen and put them in incubator. Broody wasn't separated securely enough to keep ruckus out. So I took 2 eggs out of incubator to make room and then another 4 clear eggs came out next day when I candled (very early...
