Is anyone still working on this project?

I've got a fabulous little Pyncheon roo. Truly tiny but don't tell him that! He's got a huge personality! I want to enter him in a local bantam show at our tri state fair, the only thing is his comb is so large that it droops over to the side. It's perfectly straight, just flops over, almost...

So does anyone have aNY hatching eggs available? I'd love to get back on this project!

Hey folks, I know it's been quite sometime since this thread has been active, but I could really use the advice from experienced swan owners! I've recently taken on a volunteer position helping a friend at a local bird sanctuary. The old owner died, my friend with no idea how to care for birds...

Little chocolate sizzles!!!

So, sadly I lost my one little lavender chick today... I had put them in the outdoor brooder when it was warm and then we had a cold front come in so I put a heat lamp in there and was still worried so I brought the little guy in for the night... this morning he was peeping loudly and running...

Of the 8 that hatched, 3 are silkie feathered. Sadly the lav isn't, but I'm still keeping him :-) hopefully I'll get an idea of the sexes soon so I can get an idea of who's staying and who's going

Sorry to hear about your loss... I lost my baby girl a few years ago to cancer. It had started in her jaw and we had several surgeries over 2 years to keep removing it. It eventually spread down her throat and to her lungs. We made the appointment with the vet to put her down but the night...

8 isn't bad for shipped eggs :-) that's half. I'm just hoping somebody, anybody, is silkie feathered! Then I'll have something to work with!

Look what color the late hatcher turned out to be! Glad he survived! I knew he was special!

Went to start my eggtopsy and could hear peeps coming from one of the eggs. This guy pipped internally but hadn't broken the shell yet. Oh the other 8 eggs, 2 were early deaths (shortly after day 7) 4, maybe 5 were late deaths sometime after day 14, almost fully developed, 1 last one had made it...

Thespoiledchicken, these are the 7 I had hatch. I've got 9 still in the bator that aren't showing any signs of life so I'm shutting it down. I figured I'd get allot 8 to hatch so I'm pretty happy :-)

Woke up this morning to 4 more :-) that brings my total to 7 and more are pipping

Ok my whining has been satisfied for the time being... I came home from work to find 3 hatched out and 1 pipped. Hopefully I'll have some more by morning! :-)

I'm being so whiney right now cause it's day 20 and I still don't have any pips... normally I have an early hatcher lol. I'll worry on day 23
