You should probably quarantine it because of the AI scare before you even let your chicks breathe the same air its breathing. Who knows the mama may have died of AI. Not trying to scare you, but have to be careful.

No recent pics, however I weighed her yesterday and she was only 650 g /1 lb 7 oz. Her Legbar sisters are around 740 g / 1 lb 10 oz. So she must have inherited some gene from the Barnevelder side that's causing slow growth. Barnevelders are slow to mature, so maybe in the end she will get there.

@Mama Bay Did you have any other roos apart from the Australorp x roos from my eggs?

I received 3 mottled that had bare butts and backs. I promptly gave them away to a 4H. Yours is a super cool monster

Thats the lighting in the last picture, none of them is red. They were pale yellow and dark yellow. and as they feathered, they were like this:

Can you post a picture? I have some pics from 2-5 old time period that may help: In this picture, the one chick on top left and two at the bottom are white sport. The one on top turned out to be a boy (there is kind of a white spot) vs the bottom two are pullets with defined white Vs.

Thanks! I am falling in love with the Orpingtons. Although I know that they are one of the ugliest chicken from week 3-12 but the wait might be worth it. Now I just need to find a place to house them after brooding. I am looking for some cheap empty lots in Chicago. All of them seem to be in...

Have more coming. I had set 17 Legbar eggs, 13 in my bator and 4 under 2 different broodies. The ones under broodies have hatched 3/4 so far and its 1 white sport, 1 boy and 1 girl (she was killed by the broody). 1 is still due tomorrow. Of my bator, 6 eggs are still due 5 have hatched 4 girls...

Thanks everyone for the help during the hatch. Of the 17 eggs that went into lock-down 15 hatched. So I am a happy camper! Despite the incubator drama that may have delayed the hatch a little: 2 Hatched on Day 20 6 Hatched on Day 21 8 on Day 22 1 on Day 23 Here is my count so far. I am...

Its not your phone, its the lighting in the room and reflection from other colors. lol

Day 22 started 6 hrs ago. I still have 7 procrastinators. 4 with pips and 3 without. 2 of the 4 are pipped on the wrong end. I will take your advice and not try to help them for 24 hrs. Here are pics of some of the chicks hatched so far: This is the one I rescued. I did not think he...

Unless they were in the eggs that did not hatch, your probability was 2-3 white chicks, so its quite likely you mixed them with Wheaten Marans, You will find out in a few days anyways! And yes those chicks can knock down Legos easily!

@bamadude is your hatch done? I am almost half way on my Day 21 and only 4 have pipped (including the one that may not hatch). I guess that cheap hatcher wasn't worth it.

I had two assists in the last hatch but none to the point of peeling membranes. One was stuck because one of the foot was out already and could not push hard enough with the other foot to get. The other I just had to take a few chips off and moisten with warm water and it came out within an hour...

Help needed: Yesterday morning around 11:00 AM I saw a huge pip in an egg and some fallen off pieces of the egg shell. Underneath however I saw the chicks beak moving. Was wondering how the membrane was intact but the chick managed to break the shell. Waited about 8 hrs but then the membrane...

Great, seems like you are having a fantastic hatch! Hopefully you do get some whites as well!

I set a fan heater by the incubator. First it was too close so the bottom temp shot up to 102. Now I have it about 3 feet away and the temp has stabilized around 98 degrees. So I am not touching it now unless absolutely necessary. Fingers crossed now.

Is he out already? I set some eggs under a friend broody on the eve of 14th and she already had one OE out this morning. I guess they are early hatchers. Possibly getting it from the Red Star genes that are big chicks so hatch early.
