Hatch complete and I finally finished editing the video!! :wee

She's beautiful!

That's pretty much the feeling I got while trying to get its attention. :lau

They're not being very cooperative. 😆

2 of my Porcelain D'uccles are hatched already, day 20, and I see pips on all but 3! Looking really good for a shipped egg hatch so far! :wee

Bob the chicken, lol! I've been calling my broody hen's 2 pullets the Half Pints because they're so tiny. :lau They're Japanese Bantam/Leghorn crosses but they definitely took after the tiny Bantam rooster. They look identical!

It looks like it pipped through a blood vessel. They're usually perfectly fine when this happens.

:love Congratulations!! :jumpy

I bet you'll see external pips in the morning! :celebrate

Nothing wrong with mixed breeds! I know they're harder to sell but they really shouldn't be. Some of my favorite chickens in our flock are mutts. lol

It's not desirable to keep the humidity that high for the early stages of incubation but when you have staggered hatches you kind of just have to make do. Anyone with staggered hatches does this so you're not alone! I would probably just wait to elevate the humidity until day 19 or the first...

Sounds like you have some great breeding pens set up! I've been wanting a Sebright for years and it just never seems to work out.

So many peeps on the way! I put mine on lockdown last night! I guess I should set up the brooder just in case but I'm planning to put them under my broody hen. Fingers crossed!

:celebrate

:wee

That's the same face I made when I bought eggs for this month, lol! Like...how did that just happen? :lau

:hugs Aww I'm so sorry.

:fl Fingers crossed!

I've been out of the loop on this hatchalong. Was this egg in the incubator? Under a broody hen? How did it happen? I've never had a chick pip through yolk but that's not to say it's impossible. Is there any chance that the humidity was too high through incubation and what you were seeing is...

Whether they're going to be good at brooding or not doesn't seem to have anything to do with age in my experience! It's a personality thing. This broody is less than 1 year old and she's doing fantastic with her chicks that are over a month old now!
