Quote: Well any chick yet? Hope Megg the egg becomes Megg the chick for you.

Well, it looks like I only got 2 chicks from the shipped eggs I put under my broodies. They are really cute. They may get over momma'd as they have 2 mommas looking after them. Saphire is still trying to hatch the last 3 eggs though. Today will be day 24 and I am not very hopeful on the...

Quote: Wish you had got that on video, funny. Glad to hear everything is working out and you got some little fuzzy butts. Congrats!! Yeah, that would have made a cool video. That is one tuff little momma.

Hi All Figure it is time to post update. Yesterday was day 18. This morning one egg was smashed under Saphire. The embryo was already dead and appeared to have quit mid term. Another egg has pipped. I scooped out the crushed egg as quickly as possible as I did not want to put the pipped egg at...

Newlyweds, She looks happy with her babies. 2 of the chicks look like they are kissing next to her.

I would be more worried about BeeBeep's rotten eggs. No wonder her sister is 2ft away. Not sure if you want zombie chicks.

Quote: I do not have an outside fan. My coop is very open and built in the shade. I work so cannot let them run during the day, but, when home they get to free range. I am considering buying a fan though. I been freezing water bottles, giving them chilled fruit (hand feed the broodies chilled...

Quote: Last night I gave both Rita and Saphire the other 6 eggs that were in the bator. Saphire just quietly watched me put the eggs under her and Rita. Rita on the other hand lit up like a kid in a toy shop. She could not decide whether to peck me for touching eggs or coo purr. So she did...

Quote: Now that is a big possibilty, another hen could have stepped on the egg and cracked it and chick hatched too soon. Good move on your part to move her just in case. Ants can overwhelm and kill weaker chicks. The DE helps in deterring them from coming in. I have been having ant issues...

Quote: Oooo those are rare. I would love to see your baby Na:weeenkins.

Quote: Well she might as well join the party Last night I gave both Rita and Saphire the other 6 eggs that were in the bator. Saphire just quietly watched me put the eggs under her and Rita. Rita on the other hand lit up like a kid in a toy shop. She could not decide whether to peck me for...

Niss, Congrats on your chicks! Blueberry's chicks are a week old now. Rita has made it through her first week on the nest. However, the last Wyandotte that has not gone broody yet has decided she needs to step in and guide little Rita through. Yep, Saphire has been caught snuggled up with Rita...

Fuffy, sorry about your one chick. Hopefully the others will stay healthy for you.

Quote: Congratulations! I thought I was mad putting 12 eggs under a brody silkie cross, but that just takes the biscuit, as it were! PLEASE do pics!!!! I LOVE you avatar, too. Could you tell us what eggs they are? Especially the very white one? Cool. It is nice to have a really good...

Quote: What a precious picture, and I love the name Blueberry it fits her to a T. sorry about the last chick. Thanks. The 2 healthy chicks are doing well and are cute as buttons.

As promised here is Blueberry with both of her chicks. The last egg did not make it. The chick died at the end and never hatched. Well now it is the long wait for Rita's eggs to make it to hatch day.

Quote: Those are some pretty eggs. My BLRW eggs are due on 8/12/2011.

I use the foldable pens for dogs to make a temp pen. Also have a huge brooder hutch. I kinda feel silly as I got my eggs crossed the other day. The first chick in the pics is the blue wyandotte from Saphire. The 2nd chick that hatched is one of the Silkies. The last egg Blueberry is brooding...

Ok I got a picture of the new arrival. This little baby has been playing hide n seek with me. Everytime she sees me she dashes under momma. See if you can spot her in this picture. Did ya see her in all the fluff? ...... ..... Want a better shot at finding her? Try this one: Blueberry...

Go with starter preferrably or flock raiser Layer has allot of calcium that in not good for wee chicks.
