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

[Corny Caleb]

I am quite sad to note that today, my third emu chick was found dead in his little brooder for no real apparent reason. his neck had been curling funny the night before, but he was super totally healthy right after the hatch. Anyways, I little sad today about that.

You just put so much work into the egg for it to hatch, always checking the temp, you turn it 3 times a day by hand for 50 days...and then it dies.

But I must say I AM VERY thankful that I got 2 healthy chicks out of it though

Chick #5 has hatched, BO by the looks of it. I have some pure in that pen but also 1 Blue Maran, 1 Black Maran and 1 Black Lav Split Orp.
Only one external pip so far left, the rest are doing nothing but expected as these are a few days early.
