Here are some photos of the babies. Almost a week old. PM me if you would like to give any of these guys a home. I am on Florida's Space Coast In most cases I have more than one that looks like these. I do not know sexes so you will just have to take your chances. They are...

Quote: Thanks but the lady I got the eggs from didn't have Austrlorps. You can see my post on page 3 (I think) to see what the possible combos are Well the only breeds there that might produce black and white ofspring would be the EE X PWR or BSL X PWR assuming the PWR doesnt have a...

Quote: HOORAY!! That is AWESOME! It's such a great feeling to know that you did a good job incubating isn't it?? I'll be looking for pics Here is a pic of my little guy in his chick chair

So I started a new thread about the "wobbly" chick. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=5944151#p5944151 I think he has double slipped tendons I am up and it's almost 3 am because I just made him a chick chair and bandaged both legs. I hope this little one makes it...

Quote: Sorry, that doesn't look good, does it? No But he's such a little fighter!! Very vocal and moving around... I've taken some advice and put him in a plastic container by himself with some chopped boiled egg and electrolyte water (with vitamins). We will see... Hopefully just...

Quote: Thanks!! I have all if the chicks on electrolytes and jeep taking this one to the water several times a day. It's odd because it IS getting around just wobbly and by scooting instead of walking. I'll try to get video of it for you. I will hard boil a couple of eggsnow. I have seen it...

Quote: uh huh... Just you wait!! Come May I'll have Silkies and BLRW's and we will SEE who just wants to look at pictures See you tomorrow right?? Gotta get working on that coop!!

Well, the hatch is complete.. While moving a small group to the brooder I quickly inspected the other two eggs.. there weren't any pips and they felt "wobbly" so I candled them. The air cells were odd shaped.. no veins and no movement. I decided they were gone and did an eggtopsy. They were...

I'm not sure what's up with the legs. He just lays there in the brooder. They aren't sticking out or anything but he definitely cannot walk or stand up. I tried making a hobble for splayed legs like I found online but his legs don't seem to be "splayed" like theirs are. I hope I can get him...

Well, one of the EE's didn't make it out. He was starting to smell so I took the egg out. IDK what happened but there was a good sized crack just.. didn't get out. I have 25 hatched now with 2 more eggs left. One has a small pip but I can't see anything on the other. These are both white...

Quote: Thanks!! I've been posting even when people aren't responding.. I figure it will be a nice chronicle for me. I woke up to 3 more hatched so that's 22 NOW.. here are some pics of the first 9 in the brooder!! Will have more later as I have 17 in the brooder and 5 in the...

Several of my green EE chicks are struggling to get out I think one is dead because it isn't moving at all. Two others I can see moving in but just a small hole with a beak. Do they have a harder time because of the shell thickness? My white and brown eggs have done great.

The cheese cloth absorbs the mess well without falling a part like paper towels

Sort of at a stand still. The humidity was at 98%and the chicks weren't drying so I pulled out the next batch of 8 and put them in the brooder to dry. One more hatched and 4 more zipping. Still a few pips too. Still hope for a 100% hatch

Umm tis sounds stupid but how many toes are chickens supposed to have?! I have some with 3, 4 and 5?

Done!! Moved 9 to the brooder in the bathroom and now I have 6 in the bator . 15 little fuzzies!! More pics soon!!

Ok guys.. I need your opinion... I know you aren't supposed to open the bator but there are lots of chicks out and moving and stuff everywhere and they are stomping on each other etc.. Can I use the steamy bathroom method to get the dry chicks out?? I'm afraid my little bantum is going to get...

OK... SO sorry for the delayed update but it has been a CRAZY day! I have 12 chicks now! Three last night by 11 pm then 7 this morning and 9 by noon! There are 12 out and at least 6-7 more zipping right now! They are kicking eggs around everywhere so it's hard to tell if the others are...
