5th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2014 Hatch-A-Long

[Pozees]

Still no siblings for poor George

How long do I wait? She's been in there by herself all day.

George looks pretty dried and fluffed, unless you have pips I'd probably move to brooder and dip his/her beak a couple of times, tap at the crumbles on the paper towel, and let him/her settle in under the light for the night.

ONE OUT OF EGG!! Two half way out!! a few pips that look like resting so.

That is great!

I've got another chick out-bantam langshan, black.
A bunch more little pips in there too.

My lone bantam chocolate wyandotte chick. He peeps very loudly for being a little guy (or girl). The two other eggs aren't pipping or peeping. Since I seen no pips, I went ahead and candled them quick. One has zero movement inside, the other one looks like it's breathing very rapidly with no shadow or internal pip in the air cell. I noted the breathing movement under the air cell line. I hope it's not upside down...

Same here, I do not like being anywhere but home on holidays, especially this one

Me too. I'm happiest at home on New Years Eve as well. Hatching or not.

No siblings for my lone chick yet either. No pips from the other eggs so I may stick him in the brooder with a feather duster.

Man this OE is loud.

If I have this right it should be a girl but I cant tell. I have a blue amer roo over the GCM. so no white on head should be female but I see white/golden in the chest and some wings. May have to wait till it fluffs out I guess. First time trying to make a black sexlink.

Are they late? If so, you can put a pip in the big end to see if that make it hatch.

Congratulations to every on their peeps, pips, and fuzzbutts.

I have 31 in lockdown. I have yet to hear a peep but don't expect one until tomorrow. My partner is sick and in bed and I am sitting here watching Ron's eggs. I thought a month ago I would be watching my lil one's hatch

tonight. I ran my temps too low and didn't find out in time to change it.

I will hear peeps tomorrow. My thermometer dropped of the top so I done a quick candle on top of them and the air sacs have dipped in all but a couple. YAY!

Good luck to everyone's hatches tonight and tomorrow. More pictures of little fuzzbutts to look at would be great!
