Well many of our chicks have gone on to their new homes and we still have a few left waiting on a couple more buyers to pick theirs up. We so far still have four of our silkies that we hatched, hoping for pullets but I'm not sure they're all staying and we are keeping one of the EE that we...

Congratulations everyone!!!

Congratulations everyone!

You're very very welcome! I'm so glad to hear she came home to you. Give her some extra love tonight when you go out and look her over. Do you have a roo? There have been a few times when I've been very grateful to my roos for giving the girls warning.

I hope May turns up. I had given up hope last year with an identical situation. After hours of searching I admitted defeat. Wouldn't you know at bed check she was in the coop with the others. I hope you have the same luck

Yes we did put up a barrier to prevent further incidents. I kind of thought she might have been protecting her nest but then why did she let the silkie in? The thing is we've been checking on the broodies more than six times a day(that is not to say we're messing with the buff that often just...

Had a pretty good day today. 11 of my chicks went to their new home with @Daethen they also took four of my adult birds too. :) I hope they love them and spoil them rotten. :) In other news my broody buff killed one of the other broody's chicks today, a little black oegb. Idk why for sure as I...

Okay everyone these images may be hard for some to see I don't know how to hide them or I would. I'm thankful that this chick did not survive to hatch but it's still sad. Little thing didn't have a snoballs chance. These images could be hard for some to stomach. . . . . . . This side of its...

Checked under our broody Ginger one egg no signs of life, two chicks, and one egg stalled. The stalled egg I brought in and placed in the incubator and have begun an assist. The membrane was hard and glued to the chick around the pip and the pip had not progressed since last night so I felt it...

Wow that would be absolutely wonderful! Anyone else have any ideas? Oh gosh! I'm so sorry to hear that. Prayers headed your way. *hugs*

Hey all just wanted to quote this and see if anyone had any guesses on the little silkie chicks in the two different pics.

@mlm Mike Updates/final count Incubator set 48 Lockdown 36 A couple clears from MPC some blood rings and early quitters as well as one or two late quitters. I incubated completely dry and ended up with big sticky chicks and jello-like eggs anyway. My conclusion is that maybe I have a cool spot...

So sorry to hear that. Praying for you and your family.

Hey all still waiting on one more egg that's under a broody that counts towards my numbers. It's alive and has an internal pip. On the other fronts Lovey hatched 3/4 one was a late quitter and in crazy news was mushy... Just like the eggs I had in my bator. Odd considering my hatch was...

Hey TJordan I'm sorry to hear that please keep us up to date. Still praying for him. Thank you Sally I read that before when you posted. I'm still not 100% sure what happened incubation humidity was almost always in the 20s-30s but we did have two days of rain where it got to the 60s I added a...

Oh I also forgot to mention that when little gasping chickie finally got out of his/her egg I noticed that it had a lump above its right shoulder by its neck. I now realize it's probably the crop. However it was quite large and its obvious to me that the chick was swallowing the icky goo. What...

This hatch has been hard. Not sure what happened but the chicks were mostly late and some still aren't done. We have 5 eggs left in the bator now two haven't pipped. I hope they make it but I suspect one is dead already. I have three assisted chicks in the bator right now including one that I...

Love the little white legbar I got one from @junibutt's test hatch and I adore it. :) I stilk have almost 30 eggs in the bator that haven't done anything. We did just find a couple more pipped. Hope they hurry up.

I thought it might be. I have a bcm egg in lockdown now from MPC and I hope it makes it and is a little pullet only one of the two bcm Marans eggs made it to lockdown. I also have one f2 olive egger from MPC in there that I'm also hoping makes it and is a pullet. Can't wait to find out what...

Hey all just wanted to update not a lot going on here for the most part but... Went to bed last night with our first pip and woke up to our first chickie and two more visible pips(in silkie eggs) first chickie is a SLW/isa brown cross and is so cute with one maybe two little yellow eyebrows lol...
