Well, this is out of a splash and a white. It is a gray, though like you said, I figured it was a regular partridge. I would think a gray would have no brown or red. But these lose it. I have sold my splash so no more of these questions/issues. lol
Haha, most of the time, I forget the exact hatch date, (especially with broody hens) and get surprised with a nest full of chicks or poults one evening. I've been trying to keep up with it in my phone calender now that I'm hatching so much more, but I haven't had a hatch happen on the day they're scheduled yetYou have a TIME? Wow. I just wait until whenever they want to come out.. sooner or later... My last ones (incubator test) started hatching on the 18th day and finished hatching on the 21st day. I think my count might have been off a bit (they were under a broody for 10 days until I gave her some more important eggs)...
it hatches for you.
I thought I would give it to mondayHaha, most of the time, I forget the exact hatch date, (especially with broody hens) and get surprised with a nest full of chicks or poults one evening. I've been trying to keep up with it in my phone calender now that I'm hatching so much more, but I haven't had a hatch happen on the day they're scheduled yetmy silkies hatch several days late, while my turkeys and other chickens hatch several days early.
any progress yet with the little eggie?
nope, but it JUST turned day 21 so i'll give it until mondayany progress yet with the little eggie?
I almost gave up with my first silkie hatch, I was about to throw them out (they were 3 days past due) when I heard peeping coming from the incubator! Don't give up hope yet, some chickies take a little longer than normal. Especially with a lone egg, I would think. Usually the hatching of the others encourages eggs to hatch.
Do you think Monday would be long enough?
