My EHAL baby is now running with the 'big kid' silkied Cochin babies and is super happy to have some buddies. :love :love Unfortunately, I've remembered now that that was a sexlinked cross, which means that little EHAL peep-peep is a cockerel. :hmm But I'm hopeful that he'll be a good flock...

Baby's first real photo shoot. 😍 This little squirt has the stink-eye down pat already!! "No more pictures!!" :oops:

My EHAL baby 😍 :love ❤ She's half Silkie, half silkie-feathered Cochin bantam And her weird feet :gig

My EHAL baby is out!! ❤ :jumpy :celebrate :wee Pretty sure she's a Silkie x Cochin mix as I'd hoped--and she's got five toes on one foot and four on the other! :eek: (Editing to add, sorry for the lack of pictures. :oops: My phone is charging at the moment and my good camera won't take pictures...

I posted just a little bit too soon, I guess! Baby is zipping away already!! :th :jumpy :wee

Progress this morning! My only EHAL baby has made an actual external pip now! :P The lines show where the air cell was and baby pipped to the side of where drawdown should have occurred, so I'm guessing that the initial 'pip' that didn't break through the membrane was an internal pip close to...

My only surviving EHAL egg pipped, but in the wrong spot. :( I thought for sure it was a goner. It missed the air cell and didn't seem to actually pip through the membrane, just crack the shell. No beak visible, so I figured it drowned / suffocated. But, when I started to fleck away the shell...

For a long time, after all the searching I'd done, I thought I was the only one with them! Very grateful to have found more of them! :D Speaking of, I'm super jealous of your blue baby!! I was looking at my light colored baby yesterday and come to find out, she's not blue as I had thought when...

Oh, good idea! I'll play around with that and see what I come up with. :D

My lonely only EHAL egg is still going along good! Kind of worried about how small its air cell is for this far along, though. I emptied the water trays Saturday to see if that helps and am checking in on it every night, so here's hoping. :fl Thanks. :hugs They are totally precious. :love My...

The weak silkied Cochin baby passed on in the night. Much as I knew it was coming and thought I was braced for it, I still bawled like a baby when I found her. Grateful I have the other four little stinkers to keep my mind off of it today. :love Now that they're figuring out this whole walking...

These are not my EHAL eggs, obviously, but my silkied Cochin eggs hatched over the past couple days! 5 out of 15! Not too bad for dinged up shipped eggs, I think! :) Sadly, one of them is very weak and I'm not sure she will pull through, but I'm happy for four healthy babies. ❤ Sorry for the...

I can confirm as of last night that I have just one egg developing out of all my EHAL eggs. :hmm One blood ring, but the rest are just clear. I guess it's just too early for my boys. The silkied Cochin eggs will be going into lockdown tonight, so hopefully I'll have a few babies to keep a...

Yes, I'm relieved to see so many! Now, here's hoping those five make it to hatch! :fl :fl :fl :fl :fl (One for each :gig ) :pop

Day 14 candling done on my silkied Cochin eggs. Of the 6 that were developing last time, one has quit. :( But the rest are going strong! ❤ I checked in on my EHAL eggs, too, while I was at it, and it's looking pretty bleak. I can't see into the EE eggs very well (grateful for the flashlight...

:tongue I should have some hatching in about a week, though, so I'm not too far behind. :D

The weirdest thing just happened. I found an OEGB egg when I collected the eggs tonight and, wow, it just slipped right out of my hand and into the incubator. :confused: :oops:

Eggs in! :celebrate Well, most of them. I'm hoping to have at least a few more to set by tonight. Been breathing down the necks of a few of the hens in the nest boxes this afternoon. :gig I did notice that the two eggs I thought were from my silkied Cochin, Abra, are actually a little different...

:frow Will do once I know how many. Still hoping to get another egg or two out of them today and tomorrow morning. :fl
