Yeeeeyyyyy! Now I need to see whether it's a guy or a girl...

Check out my incredibly chunky chick! So so fluffy, really dense down. Does anyone know of breeds with dense down like this? I'm trying to work out what he/she is. Very broad chest and wide set. The possibilities of purebred mixes are: Silkie - all colours Orpington - all colours Welsummer...

Beautiful little girl, she will grow to be the queen bee and she will have to look after all the others :yiipchick

Haha join the club...and you did! :lol:

Beautiful by the way :) what's the chipmunk one?

Thanks man, my housemates think I'm crazy...haha

I lost a baby this morning. Just didn't seem to pip, heard him the night before too, thought I'd be waking up to some little creature squeaking in the 'bator, but no :( nothing. Slowly opened egg from air sack end, to find a baby with all veins shrivelled, a tiny pip in the membrane and a...

Lovely :)

:D I looooove theeeem!

He's definitely half Silkie, maybe a white or buff, and I think the cockerel was EITHER a Welsummer or a Cream Legbar. The breeder gave me a huge list of pure breeder running around together, and only these two have that chipmunk pattern. He's turned out to have a little chipmunk in...

Awesome :) mine are hatching as we speak, only got one out so far, rest rocking and pipping. It's 10:15pm here and I need to go to sleep...but will probably get up in the early hours to check. The one that has hatched I have named Max, I think we imprinted, he loves my hand and tries to climb...

*A good 16 HOURS hours later, even

Just relax, they will come when their ready. One of mine hatched at 8:30 this morning, he's all alone in my little brooder peeping away and pecking at his own foot..and whilst the others are a lot slower, only in the last 2 hours have I had a few pips from more eggs. A good -6 hours after my...

Awh man I'm sorry to hear that. Good news about the Silkies though :) and this whole egg hatching thing is so addictive, I don't know why I do it to myself! I forget to eat, drink water, I pace backwards and forwards and tell all my friends (most of which sort've roll their eyes, BUT when they...

I'd leave it till this evening, keep talking to him to make sure all is still well and give encouragement. Lots of them hatch the wrong end successfully without any help at all. If it gets to late this evening and still no progress (no more pipping) but there is still movement, they might be...

Mine due to hatch tomorrow night!!!!!! OH MY GOD OH MY GOD! I keep finding myself sitting by the incubator and 'waiting' I eat my breakfast next to them in the mornings... Brooder all clean and looking good for the babies. I usually put them straight from the incubator into what I call my prima...

One week to go OH MY! ONE WEEK TO GO! :D

Native - sensitive bloomin' spell check!

Oops I quoted the wrong person..

You will know when you need to help, don't be too keen, but listen carefully because the chicks I've had to help, go from excited and frustrated NORMAL pipping noises, to real cries and screams, like the noise they make when something's painful or terrifying. This was about 16 hours after I...
