The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[Cynthia12]

Hey Silkie, I have silkies hatching too! Day 20, I have three now. Lots of pips. Makes me nervous when there are those that have hatched, and then those that are pipped, and have been, for a while..I get nervous then!

Oops! Sorry...forgot to post my final for the ducks and guineas. There were 17 ducklings and 6 guinea keets to add to my 12 chicks. So final total is 35

A little while ago, everyone was chatting about their birds eating small animals. I thought you would like these pictures that my kids took the other day of their little peahen. (She is not yet full grown.) They are not super clear, they were taken on the fly....





Small peahen, at least partially alive grown mouse!

Poor mouse....

I just got a bunch of photos of one of my cali-whites eating a frog. She smushed it up a lot and then swallowed it whole!

Hey Silkie, I have silkies hatching too!  Day 20, I have three now.  Lots of pips.  Makes me nervous when there are those that have hatched, and then those that are pipped, and have been, for a while..I get nervous then! 

I just hatched 6 polish eggs. Half were fathered by my silkie roo & looks like the cream legbar roo is the daddy of the other 3. My polish roo likes my ee bantam hen...who I also just hatched 3 from. Rainbow babies are still hatching & the blrw & bbs eng orps are due today. Already have 13 running around the brooder.
I also have about 40 rainbow babies in the garage, 4 buckeye pullets (hatchery), 4 blue marans, 1 tolbunt (my son's), 2 turkeys & 2 half grown ancona ducklings. The other brooder in the house has 1 ancona & 20+ rainbow babies.
And there are 17 more meaties waiting to go in my freezer roaming my yard.

We had 3 but she only hatched, we have 2 due in a week and a half. we just check the egg due next week and it died... The humidity didnt go down at all!

Put a cup of dry rice in the incubator to draw the humidity down.
