Quote: They sure are the cutest! I think the second one is grey... It may be a mix of my white roo and black hen.

Hooray.... look what I found in the coop this morning: I got rid of my buff rooster back at the beginning of March, somehow he still had a mix going on with my black silkies it appears. I was hoping for some white with my new roo I've had since last fall.... but no white chicks yet! We'll...

Ok... been trying to get myself and kid together all morning to go out and feed everyone. Because we want to check and see if anyone is pipped yet! Trying to not get over excited, but if we have a hatch... you know we want to sit there and watch and look and waste the day out in the coop...

You guy's hatches are really thriving!!!! 2 more days until the eggs under my broody are due. *fingers crossed*

Hooray for all the wonderful hatches!!! This has been a busy hatching month for sure. So, my chicken mama's are still sitting on what are still 3 eggs because I can't tell who's good or not now. That is 3 out of the original 8. They are due Tuesday, but I don't be home monday or tuesday now...

Hooray for the all the hatchers!!!!!! SO many babies already. I still have my fingers crossed that at least 2 of mine will hatch due on 4/27. But, I now have some in an incubator in a trade for a few... so lets hope they come May 3rd it looks like? Keep the hatch pictures coming people!!!

Well, I've collected 8 more eggs that are going to the guy with the incubator today! He will set all the eggs tonight and I am hoping to have chicks by the first week of May. My broody is still sitting on 3, while my second broody is trying to steal them from her. So I am going out today with 2...

Quote: Just remember it is likely that duck needs 28-30 days of incubation and not 21!

So sad, I candled today and out of 8 eggs, only 2 were developing for sure, and 1 I was unsure and kept under mama. All the rest were scrambled and fed to the dog. Tomorrow I have 7 eggs saved to go into an incubator with someone else's eggs. I really truly hope they all hatch, so if I get...

Oooh, I meant to candle my eggs today. I will be candling them tomorrow.... and I like to take pictures, so I will share them if they are good shots.

Quote: Holy!!!!! WOW!!!

Though I now have 2 broodies (those girls are forever copy cats) I have managed to save a couple extra eggs. Not much, but some. I have someone who is going to be so sweet as to pick up the ends on Tuesday and incubate them for me as a back-up to my broody. I'm going to give him a few silkie...

I still am going to wait until Sunday to candle... and though I can rarely control myself when it comes to candling, I sure am going to try!

Quote: Peck sounds like a seasoned broody. Have fun with that. And........look there's toes in the pic. My 1st time broody gave it up. Oh well, I bet she'll try again. She is very good at being a mama and hatching. Problem is I have 2 other hens who will be broody too ASAP and they will...

Aww... I love cute little hatched chickies and duckies!!! AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Here is Peck. She's sitting on 8 silkie eggs after she decided, against my insistance she not, to grow broody! The eggs are from both my black and white silkies, but I only have a white roo... so we'll see what...
