They are all so cute!!!

WHOOHOO! Just got home from the Fayetteville, AR show and baby #6 (of 6) is here and healthy!!! I'm so proud of these pullets!

I had 5 of the 6 hatched and dry when I opened the incubator this morning!! The remaining eggs was pipped, so here's hoping My pullets did GREAT!! I did set these eggs when the Partridge Penedesenca girls had only been away from the Wheaten boys about 2 weeks and a few of these babies are...

After a last minute run to MO to buy Welsummer pullets & cockerels I got home to a peeping incubator!!! Yippee!!! I won't open it until tomorrow to check them though. I HATE having a solid door cabinet incubator. It's so frustrating!

Quote: They won't eat for 2 days or 3 .... absorbing the yolk. I take mine out before 24 hours, but you can leave them in for 2 days. If you open the bator up, you risk losing your humidity, and the pipped ones can dry out and not zip. See, if I take mine out at 12-24 hours, they are usually...

darn it!!!!!! We got home from town today and the humidity reading was way up again. The stupid tray was DRY...some automatic humidity system!!!! It keeps crimping! I opened the door (had to) and poured the tray FULL of hot water...ugh. I did hear a cheep, but I got it shut as fast as...

LOL, thanks guys :-)

Quote: Here's a pic of my kids Oh, nice birds! Thanks for the pictures! You say it is hard to candle. How dark are the eggs? They are ranging according to each hen, from darkish regular brown type to DARK wet terra cotta pot color. There's a wider color range than I was expecting. When I...

Quote: I have never seen a picture of a Partridge Penedesenca. Do you have one? Here's a pic of my kids This is my Wheaten group

We're officially on lockdown for the 6 Partridge Penedesenca pullet eggs. I wish I could see better into these dark eggs. They're full looking, but it's so frustrating to not be able to see the little boogers move!

Quote: Out of 10 eggs on pullets that had only been laying a few weeks, I'm very happy with 6 I have picked up eggs before and didn't have good luck at all. This was my first batch of shipped eggs, so no luck yet, but I'm sure I will. I picked up 11 Serama eggs Saturday too and set them...

Candled & culled tonight. All of the Barred Bantam Cochins were scrambled when I pulled & opened them, dangit! Shipping sucks sometimes! Of the 10 partridge penedesencas I set from my pullets I have 6 babies growing well. I'm so excited! It's looks to be a small hatch for us, but very welcome!

I'll candle and cull my group tonight. I'm setting again tonight, so I'll do it all then. There's going to be three seperate groups in there and lockdown for next Friday's group is next Tuesday

Quote: I bought the little egg candler from the GQF website. For it's cheap price, it seems to work really well. The Penedesenca eggs from my youngsters look great, maybe 1 non-viable. My Barred Bantam Cochin eggs don't look good....shipping is so hard on eggs

Quote: Day 5 for me too and I'll candle tonight just to see if I can see any veining

I set my 16 (8 Partridge Penedesenca and 8 Barred Bantam Cochin-from GyspyChic) on the 16th. I removed two of the cochins two days ago and will candle the 14 tonight. I only have 2 Barred Bantam Cochin hens and a barred frizzle roo, so I'm looking forward to these babies a lot The Pene's are...

Quote: I set 8 Partridge Penedesencas (test run for my young layers) and 8 Barred Bantam Cochins yesterday the 16th, so we're hatch buddies!
