2 little bantam Australorps have arrived from under my broodies! Think one is blue and one is black. Another has pipped, and 4 left to start. Excited!!!

Aww PickledPenny, she's super cute! So news here is that I now have 4 broody hens. I did have 5, but one gave up on her nest after 10 days. I candled the eggs she was sitting on as she was off the nest for about 3 hours, and they are amazingly all still viable. Phew! There are 7 Australorps -...

Hi everyone! We have 3 broody hens at the moment, 2 belgian Duccles (Anna and Snowflake) and a bantam wyandotte (Spikey) and we decided to get 12 fertile eggs for them all to share! They are all setting 4 eggs each. All bantam Australorps in black, blue and splash. Super excited! We set them...

All 8 of our chicks have now hatched. They are all just glorious!! We have ended up with 2 multi coloured Frizzles, 3 multi coloured Silkies/Sizzles and 3 grey or blue? (I'm not sure how to tell, lol!) Silkies/Sizzles. Crackle hatched perfectly, and is a grey/blue Silkie/Sizzle. :) The chickies...

The first chick that hatched with my broody wyandotte, Sammy. A little multi coloured silkie or sizzle that we have dubbed "Friday". Sooo cute! 6 out of 8 have arrived now. Hurry up little chicklets! Crackle update: Definitely unzipping now and going super well! Cheeping lots.

As soon as I can figure out how to post pictures, I will! Crackle has pipped externally, and I'm loving hearing the little chirps. :) I think it's beginning to unzip now too! Nervously excited!

OMG, OMG!!! I have 4 little bundles of joy, with 3 more still to hatch under my broody!! 2 silkies or sizzles (1 grey and 1 multi coloured) and 2 multi coloured frizzles so far. They are so tiny and fluffy and absolutely adorable!! *squeals* Also... Crackle has pipped in the incubator! Come...

Oohh, I didn't see this thread before now! Do you mind if I join in? My 8 chickies are due on the 9th. I have 7 eggs under my broody bantam wyandotte, and a cracked egg (dropped on day one, and taped back together. It's developing well and nicknamed "Crackle") in the incubator incase I need to...

Thanks hun! So hoping that things go well. Good luck with your chickies too!

My 8 babies are in lockdown! I candled them all today, and could see a few of the chicks were starting to nibble at the inner membrane! Super cool. "Crackle" (my miracle egg with the broken shell) is in the incubator and I tried to take off as much tape as I could without taking more shell off...

I hope your little chicky's leg problem is an easy fix, Book. xo

They are sooo cute! Congratulations on your new dear little babies. :)

Awww, sorry about the ones that aren't developing. I had 4 that weren't either. YAY for wriggling babies! Sooo exciting!! I too just candled, and still have 8/8 babies going strong on day 14! They're running out of room in there now, but I saw some little movements and great veins.

Bless ya, I know how you feel! It's not a nice feeling. I actually cried. Good luck with your cracked little egglet. xx

Thanks so, so much for help with the incubator, CaliChicken! I still think it'll be safest to put Crackle in there from lockdown and help it unzip. Lets hope that Day 18 for lockdown is right. I'm about to candle my 8 eggs at day 14, so hoping for the best!! I'm feeling like an expectant mum...

I've been trying to figure out how our cracked egg #12 (now affectionately known as "Crackle") will hatch with the tape over it's cracks. The crack is at the big end where the air cell is. I tried to take the tape off on day 10, and more shell came off with it, so now it has candle wax on it...

Yay!! It is so exciting seeing the little blobs dance around in their temporary homes! :) I hope you get all the chickies on your wish list.

Aww!! Congratulations on your darling little chick! :)

Oh my gosh, Book! Your babies are just darling! :)

Thank you! Yes, our heartbeat and little foot egg is #2. :) I didn't know that about eggs without movement, that gives me extra hope for #12. Will definitely keep you posted! :) I'm still learning too! I've been watching lots and lots of videos on youtube. :) Fingers are well and truly...
