7th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2016 Hatch-A-Long

[Pensmaster]

All stragglers are out now. Some had to be helped. Don't usually but they were shipped and did not want to loose any that could be helped.
So out of 18 shipped eggs 10 made it out. Not dry yet but out whew! 5 of 18 not fertile 3 were quitters. Really happy with results of shipped eggs.
Two of my extra eggs were Bresse 8 are Altsteirer at least that's what I think I saw there was a lot of flopping going on.
Of the eggs I put in from my birds the one Marans hatched the eleven lavender Orpington's were not fertile. On a positive note I'm starting to see some bull eyes on the yolk of the Orpington's now.

No pips on any of the others, yet.

I have 12 chicks now, but I concerned about one. It has a larger than normal head and it's feet are in front of it. It seems top heavy. I took pictures and a video. HELP!

Quote:

I had a chick like that this spring, I put an old towel down in the brooder so she had something to grip and she straightened up on her own overnight.
