Thank you for the advice & encouragement 😁

They’re 3 days old. We made them shoes and one is significantly improved but the other not so much. I feel bad for them bc they can’t move around as well as they’re siblings. I’m not sure I made their shoes correctly? How do I keep their legs more together? I’ve never had this problem before so...

Out of 25 eggs, we had 16 successful hatches. Sad for the loss ones but pleased for our first ever incubation to go well! We did have 2 hatch with curled toes and we are kind of struggling with fixing it for them. Any advice appreciated! A few pics attached bc they’re too cute not to share 🥰🐣

Ok, thank you! I’m going to go get some now.

Our first 2 have hatched! :jumpy

My update so far... Out of 25 eggs we still have 23 going into lockdown. Got our first pip last night on day 20. Woke up this morning to 5 more pips! 🐣

He’s beautiful! Thank you so much for allowing us to use him! 🥰🥰

Thatd be great! 😁😁

Hello everyone! My son decided that he wanted to do his science fair project on what would happen if we crossed our Easter egger rooster with our Bantam Cochin hen. And true to our luck, our eggs did not hatch in time to complete it with a finished chick. Has anyone here ever had one that was...

Did our first candling last night and all 25 are developing! Umm I expected maybe half! It’s okay, but definitely shocking 😂 We have 20 barnyard mix eggs and 5 bantam eggs. :jumpy

Thanks for confirming! I had my doubts bc of it being leghorn who normally redden earlier and have larger combs.
