Thanks! I figured as much. Any thoughts on these three? I'm pretty sure on 2, but that cuckoo one I go back and forth on. All 9.5 weeks old.

I'm leaning cockerel on them but want to make sure. They are EE/polish/ brahma.

Looks like I'll be potentially getting more chicks, one of my hens is sleeping on a nest away from the coop. I believe she's an australorpe, she was supposed to be a jersey giant but she's not big enough.

Hope you have pips and chicks!

My total was 23 out of 30 that developed. 6 did nothing, they were eggs I collected during a cold spell so they were likely damaged from that. One pipped and died. Not too bad for a winter hatch.

Any progress?

I think I'm at 18 chicks with 3 more pips. I'm surprised I've only got two booted chicks, my main rooster is half Brahma.

10 in the brooder, 3 in the incubator and three more on the way. Apparently my silkies lay brown eggs, I've got a little jet black silkie mutt chick.

6, with 7 on the way out.

So far I believe there's 5 out. 25 more to go. The 5 are EE mutts.

Those don't look fertile, Sorry.

I have a pip.

I'm down 10 eggs, a couple duds and a few early DIS. I know cold may have been a factor for some of them. I still have 30 something going. I'm going to set up my brooder this week so it'll be ready.

The first few days you likely won't see anything. By now the only development would be enlargement of the blastoderm. Blood first appears around day 3-4. By day 5 you should see the vascular system including the heart beating. By day 9 the heart will likely no longer be visible but the embryo...

My last hatch out of 18 eggs, only 7 were pullets. I'm hoping for better odds this time.

Who's in for a Valentine's hatch? I just set 29 eggs!

Is there a reason no one has posted eggs in the auction thread or is it just a slow time?

Can anyone sex these two 8.5 week olds? I couldn't get a frontal shot of #1 but its poof is fuller, you can't see its eyes straight on.. 1. 2

My understanding is they're all the same thing

Do I need to cook cow peas before feeding them to my flock and if so can they be dehydrated after cooking?
