My husband & I are trying to figure out the parents of the three chicks that recently hatched. I know it'll be easier once they've feathered out some but we're impatient, curious & want to know now :lol: We have a chick that were sure is from a Lavender Ameraucana roo over either a Buff...

I'm so sorry to hear that Becky :( Now I'm no expert on chickens but I wonder if the yogurt didn't settle right with her? I've heard that chickens can have a hard time with a lot of dairy because they lack the necessary enzymes to digest it properly.

Donrae, I was thinking the same about the BJG as the Roo, but upon further inspection the one on the right does have muffs & a pea comb & it came out of a light colored egg. I know for a fact that at least one(the middle chick) came from a BSL egg as that one was malpositioned & I had to...

I'm a proud chickie momma! In the last two days at days 29 & 30 under a broody, we had 3 chicks hatch, they developed slower due to the snow & below freezing temps we had here in the PNW for most of their incubation but that's another thread! My conundrum is this, the broody had stolen the...

We just had 3 chicks hatch at day 30, possibly 32 even, due to the below freezing temps & snow we had here in the PNW. The hen, a Buff Orp was a real trooper, but only 3 hatched, one needing to be assisted, out of 11 They look like healthy fully developed chicks and are acting normal. I'm...

Thanks Becky for your well wishes on the chicks & Chickie Momma for the run dow on your techniques! :) Hope your lil boobie has hatched! As of yesterday(day 29) we had one chick hatch & two others were working on unzipping! It looks like a Jersey Giant but I'm sure because of the egg it hatched...

Ha! Even if some one had it down to a science mother nature still has ways of changing it up! We have a hen sitting on eggs right now that are on day 28, they developed slower due to the freezing temps we had for awhile. Today there's finally some shadowing in the air cells & its looking like...

Ah! Ok yes there's a big difference upon inspection :lol: Great to know! I know that sitting hens will get off the egg 2x a day so is it necessary to have a second person for showers etc or have others just put the egg in a safe insulated area for short periods? I've read a few past threads...

Thanks for answering my question Becky! Cleavage doesn't have enough heat or humidity? Am I missing something? Where is best then? Thanks again :)

Congrats on the new chickies everyone! :jumpy Chicken Momma, I'm thinking I might attempt bra hatching soon & was wondering if you wrapped your egg in anything or do you just have it against your skin? Also any pointers or anything you might do differently? Thanks!

Anyone?! Please!

One of our hens went broody & has been sitting on the clutch of eggs for 25 days now, we've had some really cold weather so knew the eggs could take longer to develop & upon candling they looked like they were coming along nicely so we've left them. Today I candled them again & we also float...

This is so awesome & too funny! I was just wondering the other day if I could incubate an egg with my boobs :lol: ! Now I know it's possible! One of our hens went broody last week but she's only sitting on brown eggs not any of our easter egger eggs...sooo if this works I'm gonna give it a shot...
