For those interested... I posted pics of my week olds on this thread. Week old pics Wish chicken777 could have gotten some more chicks.

I just wish we could have had some favs hatch. The soonest we'll be allowed to incubate again will be September. I figure if we put 24 eggs in the bator every 7 months we should always have plenty of eggs and plenty to incubate... that's if the roosters aren't too loud and I can get 3...

I just have to laugh at DS#4... he put the 4 Ameraucanas lined up together on the floor and said, "This is UNBELIEVABLE!... 1 Wheaten roo, 1Wheaten pullet, 1 Blue Wheaten roo, 1 Blue Wheaten pullet!, What are the odds of that???!!!" I told him astronomical, and not to count his pullets before...

Thanks!

Here are their day and two day old pics. First to hatch, Speckled Sussex, "Oliver" if "he" turns into a hen, she'll be "Olivia!" Next our Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas from pasofinofarm (Melisa) I LOVE THESE CHICKS! Any guesses on gender? Next my Golden Cuckoo Marans... I'm thinking...

After I get back from work, I'll get pics of the 12 little darlings. We are giving the coop a real good cleaning... I'm going to get a brand new brooder box and get it ready for the coop. (they are in a small box in the kitchen at present under a light (doesn't make DW that happy) Hopefully...

Quote: Wouldn't that be nice... but no... I think it's time to candle and see if they are still alive. If not all breakout will show is formed peeps but you may detect dry membranes and have some idea of why they did not pip. You sometimes see this kind of delay in older eggs but these were...

Nothing yet. Day 22 starts at 11:45PM... I'm keeping the faith, don't they have an extra toe? I'm thinking an extra 24 hours for an extra toe, right?

YEEHAW!!! I've got TWO PULLETS!!! So here is the tally. 4 W/BW Ameraucanas... they just melt my heart. I'm fairly certain I've got two roos and two pullets... DS#4 wants at least one roo, of course I'd be happy with all pullets. 3 Leghorns... one has a leg deformity, ... I don't know if...

Quote: I slept from 11 to 1:30 and from 4: to 6. I'm tired, but mostly it's because I can't breath. Nose clogged. Been to many doctors, no one can fix me. I recently heard of another here in town that uses radio waves to open up sinus'. I'll go home in about 20 minutes and try and take a...

7 chicks now. The maran hatched... it's a ROO! Another maran pip and another leghorn pip. humidity is 70%, plug is out so it can get back down to 65.

At this point, I figure the chicks in there have until Saturday afternoon until I have to take them out and put them in a brooder (as they started hatching on Thursday afternoon). I'm not giving up on the others until then, I've got to think positive and pray that God will help them get out...

Melissa wrote: The 'dark' feathers on the Fav would not be normal... they should be yellow You were right! It was a Speckled Sussex that my son dropped! all 6 Faverolles are still in there, but no pips

Well I've spent some time in there staring at those eggs. All 4 of the Ameraucanas are out. 1 speckled sussex, the first out 1 Leghorn out... but he isn't moving much... he is a goliath and is still sitting in the carton space next to the one where he hatched out of and apparently hasn't moved...

Well 3 of the 4 Ameraucanas are out. 1SS and 1LH. That leghorn is HUGE. HIS head is gigantic!... and his body is huge too! I have 2 leghorn pips 1 Ameraucana pip and 1 Maran pip... they just haven't progressed since 1PM. I know that the Ameraucana is still alive as I can see it moving...

Here is the first to hatch. Speckled Sussex And the second.. once it decided to zip it really went to work... W/BW Ameraucana There is another Ameraucana and a Leghorn out now. Two Ameraucanas with pips... one is moving. Two Leghorns w/ pips One Maran w/ a pip. Humidity when up to 78...

Update.... sorry, I have a class that I teach on Thursday nights in Spanish.... I just got back. 1 Speckled Sussex is all dry and fluffy now. I forgot how tiny they are. 2 Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas are hatched and drying... they are GORGEOUS! DS#4 thinks one is a roo cuz it has...

You are starting to sound like me!! I'm waiting for him to fluff up a bit.... then PICS! At present he is doing laps around the bator.... seriously! I had to laugh at my kids... dad what's that in the bottom of the egg that he came out of. "That children is his first poop!!" Then one of...

Well, we have 1 hatched and 8 pipped. Beautiful little brown and white striped Speckled Sussex is out and peeps a bit and then sleeps. Still looking wet. ALL 4 Ameraucanas now have pips. YEA! 1 Cuckoo Maran with a pip. 3 Leghorns w/ pips and one looks like he's getting ready...

Thanks Wynette, that gives me hope! Now my wife is shaking her head sayin', "And what are you going to do with all of these chickens!!???" But I know she was in the family room checkin' out the bator... I'll convert her yet... she loves the eggs.
