They are getting big!!

I'd probably pull one inside.... But thats based on watching non broodies with chicks.... Maybe your broody will accept...but I like to play it safe 💗💗

The babies are 3 wks old...and off heat and outdoors... Their 8ft by 4ft indoor brooder was so simple to clean. I had placed down flat cardboard pieces prior to the hatch and put the bedding on top of it... I simple gathered it up, took it outside (without dumping any!!) Dumped it in...

Thanks! Me either ...excited to watch it grow!!

I was thinking cushion or rose?!?! Thanks!

Anyone know what kinda comb this is?? They are 2 wks old now, and is turning red...which I don't mind...but I have no idea what kinda comb it is

I was collecting eggs to incubate from my barred rocks... Likely gonna wait awhile...this is what they are laying ...

I thought it looked like twins too... If I had mine to do again...I'd have assisted sooner... I thought abt it a few times...had I know hatching was gonna start on day 19 I would have...sigh...

Awww so tiny!!! I understand where you're coming from....❤️❤️❤️ I know it's a hard decision!! 😪

Stuck a 2nd trough in their brooder.... HOGS!!!! Is all I've got to say.... And....they are already sprouting wing feathers!!! Also, heat cave...its one of the best things I've come to habitually do when I brood...I LOVE it...and so do they!

Yep, I usually toss a couple in the brooder. They enjoy climbing on them... But I don't enjoy cleaning them off 🤣🤣🤣 I swear they try to fly over them!!!

The babies are thriving!! 💗💗💗 All eating and drinking... Flapping and running... Barely any time spent under their heat cave....(They are, of course, indoors currently...move out at abt 2 wks..) We have a window AC in the room running 68...but they are a good ways away from it... It's so fun...

Thanks, I think so too..but i am pretty bias 🤣🤣🤣

Chick pics!!!

I am surprised they made it long enough to start absorbing their yolk... Bummed they didn't make it but I expected it since I found them on day 7 😔

First pic, if you squeeze them back together thay is how they were in the egg... Second pic is to better show their size...which I can't believe actually fit in a 52g egg

Hatching has ended. I started with 30 eggs 20 showed development Twins didn't make it...but we're so so close in my opinion...just facing each other and likely couldn't pip or even get to the right position. Out of 20 that went into lock down 18 hatched With a 60% hatch rate for the total...

12 chicks, and only one eggs left to pip.. 6 pipped eggs...waiting their turn I suppose

6 chicks now, and 11 pips (if I counted right) Ones is still in the incubator... (That's one thing I don't like abt incubators in general...they get crowded so fast!)

5 chicks total now, 8 pips still...and counting 🤞🤞🤞 Hatch day wasn't until tonight!!! So I am hopeful the remaining eggs will still pip!
