Here are the best shots I could get of the chicks. Half of them refused to come out from under the "mama heating pad". Eggbert is a bit behind developmentally, I think I may need to tape his toes, because the middle toe on his right foot curls a bit, but then the outer toe on the same foot kinda curls the opposite way... It's bizarre. S/he also had a sticky head I had to dampen a wash cloth and wipe. he couldn't close his eyes all the way poor thing. S/he I'm not sure will make it. But we'll try!



They are so cute.

I also did an eggtopsy on the 10th one. A lot of fluid in that egg. The chick was perfect, head under wing, had internal pip, but nostrils didn't make it into air cell so I think he drown

Those are BCM, right? And the DIS didn't have any white/yellow in the chest and bum? If so, you wouldn't have wanted to breed it... only keep the ones with penguin markings... those darker chicks can pop out of any lines but they grow out 'mossy' and you don't want that... Good looking batch!! And an excellent hatch!!! :thumbsup
