I think I love you guys I have wanted a splash orp for a long time, and then this little one hatched from a set of blue/black orp eggs (I am presuming s/he is splash based on this?) and then I thought it was doomed

This little chick hatched earlier. I can't decide if its shell contents/poo or intestines, This is the chick http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b345/tomcat1/OrpChicks016.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b345/tomcat1/OrpChicks015.jpg

These hatched from ebay eggs, sold as coming from white, black and partridge stock. So I expected to get white, blue, black, partridge and maybe splash? I seem to have hatched a ?blue, 2 buff (this confuses me!) and 2 ?partridge? This is them @ 3 weeks with their hatchmate [sex and quite what...

The ? light sussex chick with the head dot now looks like this http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b345/tomcat1/Chicks009.jpg at just over 2 weeks old. I don't think s/he is a light sussex any more but I am foxed if I know quite what s/he is. I hatched it out of a mix of eggs sold as light...

Its come from a set of ebay eggs listed as white & black maran, light sussex and light sussex x rir, but the head spot has really thrown me since none of these look quite like this little chick. I am inclined to think light sussex but I really don't know

This little chicky has hatched and is now an honorary silkie as its hatchmates are all silkie bantams. Head side on Head dot Back of chick Side view Wing tips Any ideas?

I candled and am pretty sure the last silkie and another egg are dead i nthe shell (no movements at all) and the others don't look any different to when I candled them on day 10, so I think failed to develop. am giving them til monday then will turn of the incubator (day 25) then will crack em...

Thanks I will give candling a go but will still leave them in I think. Do I leave the current chick in for the full 24hrs, or do I remove him/her to join the others when I candle

Am i best doing that, or leaving well alone until say monday?

My eggs are now on day 22 and i've had 6 hatch (5 out of 6 silkie bantams, and 1/17 assorted non bantams) Is it pretty safe to assume this is all that will hatch since they hatched from day 19-22 (last chick hatched lunchtime) will no signs of pipping coming from the other eggs? I've left the...

Here are my chicks (at the mo.. today is day 21 and theres another 11 eggs in the incubator) and I'm having a bit of confusion over what color I've hatched! These came out of eggs sold as Silkies (Bantams) and I have no reason to suspect they aren't. They have black skin and 5 toes and look...

I have an egg that pipped this morning that has done nothing since. The chick has made a 2mm diameter circle in the egg and got rid of the shell, but has the membrane left. My humidity is sitting at 81% and I'm not sure quite what to do now? Do I leave the chick and see what happens? Or do I try...

Thanks I didn't think it looked particularly edible or dangerous, but I thought i'd check Only 4 days left now!!

What size/dimensions would be needed for a house and nest box for a flock of 6-8 Orps? A friend is building a coop and I said i'd ask here for him as he wants to make sure they have enough space

Thanks guys I've got everything crossed for these, especially the silkies since I have fallen in love with them, and it seems like no-one else on the island has them!
