Sorry for the late response! They are all serama. I am thinking the white and black vesty looking one might be a mottled black and white, but there's really no telling with these little guys. All that I can see so far of his incoming flight feathers are white, but the shafts haven't opened even...
Well, my hatch is done. I think it is safe to say the one that kicked out and bled will make it now. 5 chicks! Not the best from 18 eggs, but they are Serama from across the country so I'm far from disappointed. They are all learning to eat and drink, playing in their "sand box" like a bunch of...
4 of 5 babies are out! #1 stopped moving. I pulled the egg to open it and see what was up. They passed away after pipping externally.. they were cross beaked, but their egg was very tiny and there wasn't much clearance for breathing, either. Could have been exhaustion or suffocation. Thought...
Haha, it is no problem! Sorry to hear about your food allergy, they are the most inconvenient thing..
I might as well be allergic to garlic, I can't stand the stuff That and onion. I cook the most boring foods in the world, I'm sure!
and to stay on topic.. #4 is out!
I did at my last hatch, but not this time. They're in a mini advance, which does all its working sideways. I'd have turned them fat side up at lockdown if I actually had a carton.. but we never buy eggs! I'm actually allergic to them, if you can believe it
3 external pips, one more chirping egg! Just 1 I'm waiting on signs of life from now. I'm so excited I'm nauseous. not good, considering it could still be more than a day before this is all over... The veins on the assist pip's membrane are noticeably shrinking and they have seem well. I'm...
Don't worry, I understand hatching and did not act without research and reason! There were no external pips, in fact this little one is the early bird. More than 24 hours had elapsed from finding the internal pip without external pip, and the peeping was not sounding as good. They needed the...
Happy birthday! I hope it was great!
Rocky goings here. 24 hours elapsed since first candling the internal pip, and the one egg had been peeping for several hours, so I decided it was time to help. Following the assisted hatching guide, I've made an artificial pip. Made a pretty big one and...
Moving on over to this thread from the December one! Here is my spreadsheet for this hatch, 6 of 18 shipped eggs remain. Day 18 or 19 depending on set date, breed is Serama, lock down is now, 2 internal pips confirmed a few hours ago! Once they are out I am hoping to set another dozen eggs...
