Wow that is terrible. They looked well packed too. Not sure what I would do. Glad you have the insurance option at least

That is too funny. I have had chickens for years and have yet to see a fart egg!

How cute. Congrats. I have been a little bummed about my scraPPY hatch. I am happy for my 2 cutie though. Would like to try again but not sure right now.

Thanks. They are really pretty birds! I bet they would be nice mixes. I would only want a few eggs if you have any.

If I say I have no idea what the abbreviations are for does that make me a weenie?

Anyone near Media? Looking for some hatching eggs that are local. We just hatched a few silkies

I checked this Am and both chicks were dead. Looks like one was positioned wrong and the other just never broke into the air cell. :( At least I have 2 but I am still sad & disappointed.

Today is day 21. I did check them when I took out the baby this am but there was no internal pip yet. Did not see obvious movement but they looked jammed j there. Should I do anything tomorrow if nothing happens tonight? I placed them at night so I was considering the next day as day 1

Grey hatched Monday afternoon and partridge last night at 11. Still have 2 eggs which are doing nothing right now.

So while I am waiting for something to happen I played with the chicks and took pics. Grey one is Chief Chirpa (some Ewok the boys like--she chirps constantly and loudly too) Partridge is Chewy--short for Chewbacca

I am a vet tech so I have a really good stethoscope. Now I am tempted to try it on the remaining eggs!

Send pics of the cute little ones when they arrive. I think I was spoiled with the other hatching 1 & 2 days early. These are the late ones. I just hope they are okay.

AHH. Come on last 2 eggs do something!

This is why you need a good relationship with the breeder you are using. Mine LOVES it when I tell her it is time to "trim" She wants to sell good quality fertile eggs. [/quote That is funny. I plan to.let Liz know how the hatch went. She also said when it gets really hot the roosters are...

My 2 that hatched zipped about 10-12 hours after popping externally. They would cheep and then rest and then got a burst of energy and zipped. Check with everyone else but it does take them some time
