Final count for April--- 3 blue-laced red wyandottes and one bourbon red turkey. On to May Found another pip this morning (halfway down the egg, close to the small end!) They're all drinking, trying to crawl under each other and busily pecking at the hole in the towel

One blrw out and two more pipped Four eggs not showing activity so far. Plus two turkey eggs, one definitely alive at lockdown, one uncertain. I'm so excited about the blrw, they are so pretty

Getting my second bator ready for lockdown Tuesday. Can't wait! Six blue-laced red wyandotte eggs and two bourbon red turkey eggs. I've been having terrible hatches this year, lots of chicks dead in the shell just before or after pipping Humidity issues I think, so hoping I've got it...

Congratulations on the new chicks everyone! Love all the cute pics My three fluff balls seem to be doing great so far. I have six BLRW due April 30, can't wait they are such pretty chickens

Well, I think my first April hatch is done. Two standard size mutt chicks and one bantam (out of five mutt and seven bantam eggs ) Don't know why they all quit so late? I think it's low humidity. Will that make them quit just before hatch or is it only a problem when the hatch begins? We...

"She who fights snakes" !! Love it Wow! What a story! Thanks for sharing, glad I don't have to worry about big snakes in the chicken coop, as far as I know! Ok, the early chick is YELLING it's head off. Come on other chickies! You need to hatch on your due date to keep this guy company...

Day 18 was Saturday. Went to add water and a wet washcloth for lockdown humidity and found a pipped egg. The little guy hatched out Sunday afternoon. Humidity was down today so opened bator to add water, misted eggs and scooped the little guy out. He's now yelling his head off in the...

Congrats beckymom! That chick sounds super cute

So fun reading all these Candled last night, end of day 9. Tossed seven clear (well, six clear and one with a blood ring) bantam eggs and one mutt egg. The other seven bantam eggs look to be developing well I have four of my own eggs left in there. Two are too dark to see in, on looks to...

Well, I just learned I am getting my Muscovy eggs sooner than I thought! I was wondering what on earth to do, maybe toss the free chicken eggs I had started in favor of the paid for eggs, though I didn't like that idea at all. Looked on craigslist and found someone near me selling a used...

Bator update... I now have 5 mutt eggs and 14 bantam eggs. The bantam eggs were picked up in a friend's yard. Some of their neighbor's chickens migrated We looked at pictures online today to figure out what kind they are. They look closest to the mille fleur. Although I don't remember if...

Monday I set three "mutt" eggs from out BOx chickens. And Tuesday I set 5 bantam eggs from a friend's yard (I don't know what kind they are I haven't seen them yet. My hubby says they look like our BOxRIR rooster, only tiny. The eggs are very teeny and very "egg-shaped" not like the round...
