Congratulations to the winners!!! :ya Phenomenal photos from everyone :love

I’m sorry I’m a day late!! Happy (belated sort of? It’s still Easter Monday :lol: ) Easter to you as well Amy!!:jumpy Aahh!! That’s so eggciting!!! :wee Ooh are they going to hatch around the same time? And what breed(s)?? Ducklings are just adorable with their plap plap plap on flooring :love...

No problem! I too was reading it religiously waiting for my eggs to hatch ! I can’t wait to see your entires!! How many eggs do you have set? And what breeds/species? :love

Pearl was the same! Needed a crate suspended in the coop with food and water and no bedding and a perch to sleep on :lau Oh she sounds adorable just by doing that ahahaha! She is a sweetie just like Pearl was :love

I’m unsure if she would sit for the full duration or if she joined Pearl after she had already started sitting and was only there for a short time. All I ever had to do to break them was lock them out of the coop for a day free ranging with the others and just move the nest boxes around or take...

I’m not sure and didn’t really plan to hatch these eggs out. I had been away for a week and a half at a convention when this had happened and they are too far along for me to have the heart to toss the eggs, they unfortunately left a few babies in the nest basically ready to hatch so I don’t...

Not An Entry The other photos of Juan hatching! I remember I hadn’t had time to check that morning before work so he had externally pipped over night and I got to catch just before zipping if not the very beginning of zipping And then 2 hours later, he had been zipping and mom was helping him...

I unfortunately had to rehome my previous flock entirely when I had moved to a different apartment no longer in the country. That hen ended up living with a new flock which ended up getting attacked by a fox and she and many others did not make it unfortunately. More than half his flock was...

Pearl was the most devoted mom ever !! She loved her little baby Juan so much once he hatched and she protected him at all costs from the other hens :love

Entry #4 - Pearl (left) and Pip (right) hatching Juan back in 2021 with my old flock ❤️

That would honestly make sense because mine in the incubator were napping for 12-24 hours after external pipping, so she wouldn’t have even known it was in her way and passed gently I’m sure ❤️ The photo I want to use as my final entry is of my two hens when they hatched out their first chick...

Am I able to post a photo from my previous flock as well of an egg hatching? I completely forgot about these photos I got that I think one would fit the rules so long as it’s okay that it’s an older photo from a few years ago? I definitely took this photo though because my hand is in the ones...

They had finished hatching by Day 23 (April 04)! 15 eggs out of the original 30 I had set made it to lockdown, then 11 out of the 15 eggs had hatched! On a happier note! 10 hatched out as very healthy chicks (one is for sure a boy as he has the Barred Rock dot on his head and the eggs came...

That’s okay! I had figured as much but wanted to make sure!! I still thought everyone would enjoy the photo!

You are very kind as well! I’m glad we are able to have been able to chat here! Thank you, you made me smile :hugs She’s definitely going to remember the care you put into her and will love you immensely for it, even as she gets older. They just seem to know when you put your needs after...

Oh my goodness!! I’m so glad she’s doing well and is able to be with the others! How amazing you are to put the care and love into that baby to help her survive ❤️ Does she have a name? Might I suggest Miracle perhaps? As you already did call her that :love Edit: I see you call them Pip...

I’m unsure if I can include this photo in my entries as my mother took the photo (we hatched the eggs out together and she doesn’t have an account on here as she’s not a big computer person) ? But this is the photo she got of our final baby that had made it out of the shell successfully!!

I had read somewhere (either a reply in here or somewhere else maybe the main thread ?) that it will end sometime in April but there’s no specific date set yet that I’ve heard! EDITED TO ADD: Rule 14 states this!

I’m not fully certain I think it hatched with one tendon being contracted actually as that leg was so severe but the other leg not as sever. This chick hatched out with 2 active ones in the incubator already that we’re basically fully dried off so it could have gotten stepped on unfortunately...

I had one do the same thing except it ran out of the shell across the incubator and then went directly right back into the egg lol I got a picture of it back in the egg and wasn’t sure if it was able to be counted bc he had already been out ! :lol:
