    Little Giant Incubation Experiment - Day 21 - Hatch Day!

    Haven't really had much chance to get on lately. How are yours doing now? I know it's so hard sitting at work, thinking about how badly you want to get back home the whole time! I'm glad I'm not the only one, haha! :p Well, my hatch turned out so much better than the first one. I had 9 our of...

    Little Giant Incubation Experiment - Day 21 - Hatch Day!

    So the chick that had bled stayed right where he was all day with no progress yesterday, until last night. Two other chicks hatched (which I got to watch, it was awesome!) and they seemed to give him the encouragement to really get moving, but I had already stayed up later than I needed to so I...

    Make that 3 pipping! Yeah true, lol. I know he just felt like he was helping, so I guess I shouldn't be too mad. At least the chick seems to still be doing alright so far.

    Little Giant Incubation Experiment - Day 21 - Hatch Day!

    I think it may have stopped? Im not seeing anymore blood, just what was already there, so maybe thats a good sign. Ive gotten my humidity back up, and now two more chicks literally just started to pip! The chicks membrane is still moist for now but im keeping a close eye on him. Hes moving...

    Little Giant Incubation Experiment - Day 21 - Hatch Day!

    So I noticed that the chick was completely turned the other way from where he was this morning and that my humidity had dropped. So I ask my husband if he had opened the incubator. WELL, turns out he did, he had taken out the pipped egg, broke a bit of the shell away, and put it back. I was so...

    Little Giant Incubation Experiment - Day 21 - Hatch Day!

    So one chick decided to start hatching a day early, woke up to it just starting to pip through the shell. It's only been an hour or so and its already half way out, but I'm seeing blood. Theres drips of blood on the broken shell pieces and there looks like quite a bit on the chick as well. I'm...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Australorp

    3 out of 4 of my Aussie girls! The 4th didn't want her picture taken I guess :P . They really are great chickens though, and wonderful layers!

    Little Giant Incubation Experiment - Day 21 - Hatch Day!

    Here's a couple of pics of my one little chick from my first batch. I'm starting to think it may be a girl. She's growing quickly though and has gotten some feathering on her feet :)

    Little Giant Incubation Experiment - Day 21 - Hatch Day!

    Day 14 on my eggs! I candled them yesterday, had one infertile, tossed it, and all 13 others looked awesome! Every single one of them was wiggling like crazy! I didn't have movement like that in any of my eggs last batch. I almost didn't want to put them down when I was candling because it was...

    What do you have in your flock?

    I've got Buff opringtons Cochins and Black Australorps! I'm also currently incubating what will probably be mostly mixes with some possible pure bred Cochins and pure bred Buffs. I really really want some Easter Eggers though, but cannot find anyone local that has any :(

    Little Giant Incubation Experiment - Day 21 - Hatch Day!

    Lol, I picked her up and checked, she's sitting on nothing v.v I collected the eggs from under her yesterday, and I guess she still wants to sit even though there isn't anything there.

    Little Giant Incubation Experiment - Day 21 - Hatch Day!

    Lol! You're going to be over run with little chickies! It's kind of hard to get rid of them though, they're so cute :p. I'm hatching for a friend of mine who really wants chickens. The one chick who made it from my last batch, I'm already getting attached to, so I may end up keeping it . I have...
