Does any one in Georiga sale crested cream legbar chicks? I live in Savannah, but would be willing to drive or pay shipping! My rooster died and I'm down to 2 older girls now
These are my first babies from under a broody hen. They are so adorable running around with all the other girls! They were a little short to reach the waterer, so I "built" them some steps!!!
Well, the babies FINALLY hatched!!! Only 3 chicks, but that's better than none! The mommas are co parenting and all seems to be going well. So exciting to see the babies out and about and not under a heat lamp in my house!!!
No, but I've tried candling other eggs and I'm still not really sure exactly what I am looking for!! Will it hurt them to candle them now or should I just wait and see?

My hen Penny had 4 eggs under her also. I did mark them but then over the next few days, I noticed our egg production was way down from the other girls. After 3 days of this, I finally moved Penny over and she has 15 eggs under her now. Guess I'll wait and candle them in a few days and see...
I might try moving them at night then. I did mark the eggs when I set them so I could tell if new ones got "egg-napped". Thanks for the advice so far!!
Hi everybody,
This is such a great thread. I have a question though. I have 2 broody hens and I decided to put eggs under each of them. They are doing an amazing job, but the more I read this thread, the more I realize I made a mistake. I left them in with the general population. The girls...
Do yours have puffy cheeks? All of my Easter Eggers had sort of chipmunk looking cheeks! I'm not sure if all do, but mine did. And all of my girls had a pea comb of sorts. You're girls are pretty though. I miss the baby stage!!
We are very excited... Our Blue Copper Marans eggs that we set have entered lock down today. You will probably have to pry me away from the incubator!!! Here's to hoping
Well, I am very excited. I set 7 Black Copper Marans eggs and we are finally at lock down today. This is our very first time to try hatching our eggs. Can't wait to see how it goes!!!
