The last 4 eggs... are no good. 3 had nothing in them but egg... the last one had a chick but it was not ready and dead... But the good news is we have 7 healthy BO chickies with momma, Did good for our 1st hatch.
Alright guys... we have 7 baby chickies now and 4 more eggs to go, they havent pipped so I dont know if they are going to make it? I'm giving them a couple more days. As long as mommas sitting on them I guess all is good!
There will be more pics. in the morning...
So far they all look to be BO chickies... I cant remember if I put any RIR eggs under her and I know I didnt put any bantam eggs under her... we had 3 BO roosters and 1 Bantam rooster
Went to the coop to collect eggs and checked on our broody... 1 egg is hatching!!!!! Oh my gosh I'm sooooooo I just want to scream! Going back to see if I can get a pic.
Keep ya'll posted!
Thanks... I seen on the web stuff about "yolker" eggs... I really hope thats not what they are! I didnt candle 8 of them soooo I pray I get a couple chickies out of them, I dont expect all of em to hatch. Guess this Wed. and Thurs. I'll find out.......
Today is day 15 and I tried my hand at candling... only took 3 eggs from the nest to candle... the 1st egg was the 11th egg that got added 2-3 days after I put the 10 eggs under Momma BO and it was all clear, light shined right through it. The other 2 were very dark, couldnt see any light...
