Ok Ok here are some pictures. On a ironically sad note, I did not get the first rooster of my 15 surviving birds. How ironic is that? We normally complain we get nothing BUT roosters but I did not wind up with 1....Not the best pictures, will get some good ones when I have the camera at the farm...
Thanks for all the notes of encouragement One peep passed today, but all the other 19 are doing great. I have no idea why this one died, I guess had a heart flaw as it showed no signs of weakness or trauma. I moved them in with some silkie chicks, quite the bunch of birds I will take some more...
And the final count is 20 healthy babies. The 3 weaker ones did not make it, and two eggs did not hatch. Going to candle/open today to see the cause, but I suspect they just were to weak to open the egg. They are good looking, healthy, energetic birds.

So far 20 healthy fuzz butts and 3 that are in the infermary, 2 just not strong as the others and 1 with straddle. 2 eggs that have not hatched still in the bator.

so, you really want to know ?????
8 Fuzz butts so far!!!!!
Not the best pic only had cellphone cam today, but will take much better ones tomorrow.
And...... nothing Not a pip one. My incubator runs about a day late so I am not too worried about it yet. Normally I have pips by hatch day but I did not start the eggs until late in the day when I set them, so, will update later.

Sorry for the delay, been REALLY busy Put eggs in lock down yesterday and re-candled all of them. I found one more that was infertile and one mid death, so I believe that's 26 that are due to hatch. 2-3 looked a bit off, so I would expect at least 22 chicks at this point. Ill have pics of the...
The eggs are going along great, lock down is the 24th I believe. All but 3 or 4 eggs are still going strong. 1 was infertile and the rest were early deaths. You can get a road cone at Lowes, Home Depot, TSC sometimes, any place that deals with public safety professions, etc. Some would say, on...
