If you aren't the patient type, skip to 2:25 when she pops out!!
We now have 10 baby chicks....they are amazing!
check out this white EE mass of fluff!!!
We hatched...
3 sicilian buttercups
1 speckled...
Woohoo chooks! Probably cracked egg is just shocked and will get back to hatching soon. I need white rock eggs for end of April. Where did u get yours??
Oh I did the biggest NO NO. 5 eggs hatched into beautiful little chicks except one egg. no pip, zip nothing. So I quickly carefully candled the egg and saw movement, back in the bator in the same position not even a drop in humidity
I know I know, if it dies..my fault
2nd speckled sussex...looks so much darker, saw her coming out of shell...there is NOTHING like this thrill
will it lighten up? or is this the correct speckled and the light one something else?
Look what happened while I was gone!!!! She going around to all the other eggs sleeping next to the other eggs and pecking at them!
SHE (wishful thinking) is a speckled sussex
You guys will not believe the greeting card I just bought at the store. So PERFECT for all of our happenings!!!
