I looked outside today and saw one of my Sebright chicks playing with something odd. When I looked closer, I realized it was a few feathers with some flesh still attached, like the tip of a wing, and I couldn't find one of the chicks. I put all of the bigger chickens up, waited a while, and...

I just hatched a batch of Sebright eggs, and of the twelve that made it to lockdown, eight hatched on day 20-21, one on day 22, and one is still half-hatched on day 26.
