The 1 that pipped, is out...

It's a day and a half early, but the yolk sac was absorbed, so it's good.

7 of my 11 eggs have hatched out now. I'm waiting to see if the other 4 will hatch too. It looks like I'm getting mostly the blues in different shades of it. Some are a lighter blue, and some a darker blue. I have one splash chick that I plan to keep and grow out. I'm hoping that it will be a pullet though.

Yay!

Congratulations!
That is very good news!

Thank you! I sold the chicks from my last 2 hatches, but still keep in contact with the one's who bought them from me. Today one of them sent me an email with a couple of pictures of the ones that she got from me. The one that she had sitting on her lap is a blue that has some real nice lacing going on, so I know I am headed in the right direction. I have added those 2 new black just starting to lay hens to my flock with my blue rooster to work on the better lacing in the future blue chicks from them.

Yay! View attachment 1143909

Thank's! I am happy about bringing more of these chicks into the world!

It's a shame this thread is not very active!

I just posted my hatching eggs for sale for 2020. I didn't advertise last year. I was breeding and hatching. I have worked very hard, and I'm really pleased with my breeding stock. I posted pictures in advertisement if anyone is interested. I love my birds.

It's the Pullorum Typhoid antigen that's out, and they haven't made any for something like two years now. Supposedly it's being made now and is being distributed, but different states are getting it at different times. For instance, I can't find anyone in Illinois with any yet, and I'm trying to get tested to get enrolled :sigh: The Illinois Dept of Ag fellow came out and enrolled me and gave me a list of testers, but I can't seem to get anyone to answer their phone, and the list is from 2017.
