You won eggs!!!?? Where? Fun !! And yeah!!!! Can you modify the incubator and add an old computer fan? The still airs make great hatchers I hear. What a waste that the school can't use their incubators. That is ridiculous!!! I'm sti excited for you that you won eggs! My 4 Ventura county...

Jane remind me what incubator you have? You can have hot spots and bum thermometers .... People really like the spot check thermometer from Brinsea .... If you have a forced air incubator you shouldn't have a hot spot as the air is circulating..... When do your eggs arrive??? I hatched eggs...

Omg so I just got home from work and went to check on the new hatchlings.... And I see 3 chicks and I look at egg#4 and I see fluff ... I think it is one of the 3 chicks but NO Its #4! The wings or a wing and a leg had been freed from the shell but the membrane was so tough that it couldn't...

Oh I can help you out with that!!!! So last night when I got home NOTHING .... but this morning I heard chirping and upon further inspection 3 of the 4 eggs were zipping 2 hatched before I left the house for work and 1 was working hard to get out. I hatched in egg cartons again but it...

Oh Jane I'm so sorry ... It is so depressing when nothing develops. My first hatch I thought I had a bunch that were going to hatch and I swore I heard peeping.... I had to move the eggs at lockdown to another incubator and I have a feeling that is what did them in ..... I'll be curious to see...

Pinot I like it!!!

Jane how are they looking??? It is so frustrating when they do not develop! I am only on day 2 or 3 on my newest eggs but I am always afraid to candle! Some of these are really dark and since I wont be able to see inside of them, I will live in denial for weeks crossing my fingers they are...

Not that I am an enabler but here is a picture I took of one of my silkie chicks today ..... Such a POSER!! How could you not want to add that too your collection? Don't you like how I call it a collection like you do with fine wine ....

So sorry to hear about the little chick. That is the hardest part of hatching. Oh to bad you aren't closer..... But it sound pretty where you are. I am on day 14 with my 4 white silkie eggs so Wednesday is lockdown! And I'm on day 1 of my new eggs ... These are my last for awhile!!! I swear! :D

Where do you live??? I have 2 splash Silkie babies that are SO CUTE and 4 whites that are due to hatch in 8 days I'm hoping for a girl..... Did I mention I just set 24 mostly BBS silkies this morning? there were 3 Lavenders, 3 Blacks , 2 partridge, and 1 white.... so chances of more splashes...

So exhausting!

So Cute!!! What day are you on??? I have Silkies in with Wheaton Amerauncanas born the same day and they are so small in comparison .... When the Wheatons jump around I am so scared they are going to smush the bantams!!!

I wouldn't worry ... Out of my 2 wheaton Ameruacanas that hatched one is 1/2 the size but it is active and feisty !!! As long as she is drinking eating and pooping ..... I would not worry. I had one I helped hatch that hadn't absorbed the yolk sack and he was little ... aptly named chicken...

No Not yet but somebody linked me to a Poultry orthopedist and I posted... He needs to see a picture so tonight when I get home I will send it off to him.... Poor bird..

They are so CUTE!!!! Congrats on the chicks.

It has nothing to do with being fertile.... Well maybe .... but unfortunately it is usually the Post Office that does a number on shipped eggs! I had 18 Lav Orps ... 4 broke in shipping out of 14 I set 2 developed but quit early and zero hatched .... I cracked some of the non starters open...

Oh and PS ..... I just got 14 BBS Marans eggs tonight!!! 5 of them are really dark and SO LOVELY!!! I hope on of those hatches and is a girl.... Time to get a better flashlight as there is NO SEEING in those. Oooh Ok I will add a picture ...

Yeah 4 confirmed!!!! 3 Possible!!!! Come on little chickies!!! Grow grow grow!!!

Yeah her bones are too far gone... I tried making a bigger band aid splint and she kept falling over.... I took it off. I had been watching carefully as I think this one had spradle leg right out of the shell but I fixed it and she was fine.... totally fine ... for 2 - 21/2 weeks ... I almost...

OMG those are the cutest things ever!!! I have to see what they look like full grown. I am SO DEPRESSED.... Last night I noticed one of my lavender orpingtons struggling in the brooder area. I freaked out thought she was really sick. Well she is not sick but she had MAJOR Splayed leg...
