    What are they?

    Can anyone tell what these are? They are from the same hatch but I'm not sure about their parents. The lady I got them from as chicks said they might be silkies or frizzles. The pictures aren't very good but it's the best I could get.

    Will they hatch?

    Today is day 21. I heard a couple of peeps earlier day but nothing in a few hours. What might be going on there? Is there still a change of hatching? I haven't seen any holes in any of the eggs. Thanks ,

    Is my chicken hatching?

    I think my chick is hatching. It's 22 days and I hear cheeping off and on in the incubator. No sign of a pip hole yet. What do I expect to see next and what do I do? As you can tell this is our first hatch. Thanks

    Guinea hatching question

    I have a guinea who has been sitting on a nest for 4 weeks that we know of. I don't know long she was sitting before we found her. Should we just let her be or try to get her to move? It looks as if there may be approx. 12 eggs under her. Thanks.
