I have one Purebred Lavendar Ameraucana rooster (very sweet boy), one Purebred Lavendar Ameraucana hen, and 3 Black split to Lavendar Ameraucana hens. The lavendar's are directly out of bloodlines hatched here from eggs shipped from Bargain/the garry farm.
I want them to go in a group. They...
Hopefully it will make it out just fine :) I had to help one out two days ago. It did the same thing, made a big hole then no progress 12 hours later. So when I finally decided to open the bator to pull the first half of the chicks out and zipped the rest of the egg for him. Then I realized...
Thank you! I love them! The first one is out of my buff orpington hen and the second chick is out of my lavender ameraucana hen. My only roo is a lavender ameraucana. So the first chick is my own special mix lol
Sorry I just saw this! Well SUPOSIDLY you want to get eggs into the incubator within 7 days of being laid. But my last batch had some about 12 days old and they all hatched for me. My fridge eggs hatched too! But a week or less for best odds. This batch, a few will be 3 weeks old. It will...
What BEAUTIFUL little chicks and I love your brooder!!! I think we are going to build another coop pretty soon.. lol I guess that's what happens when I get a few chickens... hehehehe
WOW!!!! A HUGE congrats to everyone! What wonderful news to read! My official count for my hatch was 23 chicks out of 28 eggs. Four of the last five were formed but never internally pipped and 1 of the five looked like it stopped growing around day 15 or so. All 7 of my lavender ameraucana...
Hopefully after keeping a few groups I'll have plenty to spare!
Wow! How wonderful! That is absolutely AMAZING for shipped eggs!!! So far I have 18 chicks hatched. 4 lavenders and another egg just pipped. The rest as a mix of mostly EE's. I have a few other pipped too, and 4 where I...
They seem pretty normal size to me :) That box is 4ft by 4ft, so it's big... it makes them look much smaller. The roo is a LF Lavender Ameraucana and the hens the chicks come from are EE's, a lavender, barred rock, buff orpingtons, and rhode island reds.
Beautiful! And all mine throw themselves over and lay odd :) That is one of my favorite things about chicks!!!
Pshhhhhh all 22 of course!!!
Here is a pic of the first ones I moved over!
Interestingly they all look to be black with different white and yellow markings on them (except...
Hoping for that little surprise for you this AM! I'm hoping to give some of these little one to my broody. Hopefully mine is as good as yours!
OH NO!!!!! I'm so sorry
HOW WONDERFUL!!!! I now am at 14 chicks! So I'm half way through LOL I woke up almost every hour to look last...
Just a quick update. Only 2 chicks have hatched but I have pip's everywhere! lol I guess they are all wanting a break after the big pip The humidity is staying at right around 75% and I can see beaks moving inside. I think all but a few of the 28 eggs have pips and those are all rocking and...
I still just have the one out and I have 11 more pips. None are zipping yet. The one that is out will frantically chase my flashlight as I move it from one egg to another, rolling them all. A min ago she was also pecking at the other eggs
