I love your 'lap chickens' My barred rocks like treats but prefer not to be held. I'm hoping my flock additions are more inclined to be lap chickens lol Well I had the one hatch and one more hatched yesterday morning. Nothing at all since the second one hatched. Today is day 21. I don't see...

Bummer but yes... not fair to either the dog or the quail. Rehoming would have been my solution too. I had a dog like that but had to put her down. So my biggest worry with quail is where will I put them? lol. I'm excited about building them a tower but have no idea where I want it yet. And I...

The first chick is trying to jump out of the incubator, well more like climb the sides to get out lol. I want to get quail next! Which kind did you hatch? I'm looking at coturnix because they're supposedly more quiet than the other breeds. I can't wait to see newborn quail. I had no idea when I...

Yes when the first one hatched it looked like it shouldn't have been able to fit in that tiny egg shell LOL I've never seen bantam chicks before so it adds to the excitement. They're so TINY! I can't wait to cuddle them

It was SO worth it! Egg number 2 is still working on hatching. I'm guessing from where the beak is that the chick is malpositioned. Zip is complete and working on kicking out :-) I'm watching obsessively and cheering it on!

One down, 8 eggs to go :-)

Yup that about sums up what's going on around here! My chickens are the only critters I have that I didn't get fully grown already and I baby my flock ridiculously I'm sure Don't get me wrong... I love them all but I spent the last 18 days rotating these eggs 3 times a day and constantly...

Yes I can hear the peeping loud and clear. I heard it last night too when I realized that a few had internally pipped. I'm obsessively staring into the incubator waiting for something to happen lol I know it could be a long wait but oh the excitement!

okay thank you. I won't worry so much about that then. I just didn't want them to run out of air.

I noticed the internal pips last night about 8pm. I still don't see any external pips on any of the eggs. It's after 10am. I know they have about 24 hours of air to get the external pip but I have no idea what time yesterday they occurred. I just noticed when I candled. How long does it usually...

They're all silkies. Oh I'm glad to hear that! thank you for replying. I've been warring between so excited I can hardly hold still and worrying over them hatching so early. First time jitters probably

I went to candle one last time before going into lockdown. I discovered 2 out of the first 4 eggs I candled had internally pipped already. (After that I quit candling and just went into lockdown so I'm not sure how many total have internally pipped) It's only day 18... ? I wasn't expecting...
