My little Moose when he hatched. He slept for two days straight, still had yolk and then an exposed belly button. It was a bloody hatch, as you can see. .
Now here he is with the blue slate and one of their keet buddies, under the watchful eye of my Chesapeake/Labrador.
Either he is a runt or Trex (T.Rex) is big. They're the only two that hatched out of sixteen, so I can't tell. Trex was the only egg I had from my hen that was killed, while Moose comes from some shipped eggs. He is supposed to be Holland White but looks like a Midget to me lol.
Here are Trex's parents. Both were killed, about two weeks apart.
I have 8 eggs in the incubator due to hatch Friday 5 Royal Palms and 3 sweet grass And I have A Narraganset setting with 8 eggs under her and the dad is a Royal Palm .. Wish me luck that I get 100% hatch rate. I am looking forward to see those babies
