X2. :( I have a pip, they were supposed to hatch yesterday, no peeping, yolk draining out of egg. I'm debating on helping this guy out or not................


X3 sad.png Not even a pip. I did have some temp fluctuations, especially last night when the bulb burned out and the poor things' temps dropped to 83 degrees! hit.gif So, if they do anything at all, they'll be late.

I have 2 black silkies and 1 splash silkie chick, with one egg left in the bator. I don't think it will hatch but I'm leaving it in just incase. It is an odd shaped egg so even when I set it I didn't think it would make it to hatching. So I had 8 chicks hatch before plus this 3... so thats 11 chicks total. I sold all of the LF chicks this morning so I'm left with 4 bantam chicks. If this last egg doesn't hatch I will have 11 chicks out of 45 eggs set. And a 75% hatch rate from my own personal flock.

I am a Bantam addict!

Proud mama to 1 Son, 2 Horses, 2 Dogs, 2 Cats, 6 Seramas, 6 Bantam Cochins/Cochin Mixes, 4 Cayugas... and counting.

 

    Looking for Silkies, preferably grown, pretty close to my area, pet quality is fine. Want them for broodies and eggs.

He is risen Indeed!

"Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for sin, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities." Isaiah 53

So thankful for divine intervention!

 

 

 

End count: 17 chicks out of 24 eggs.  All 17 are cute, cute, cute!

My hatch is over. Ending up with 14 chicks

10 EO's out of 25 eggs
1 Araucana out of 12 eggs
2 B/B/S Orps out of 14 eggs
1 BC Marans from 13 eggs

So happy with the EO rate but, wow, the others really sucked. Having to get shipped eggs can be so depressing. But I do have some incredible chicks!!!!

One of my eggs has pipped but has blood coming through the pip.  It is still alive, but is there any hope?  It pipped in the middle of the egg.
