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

Good luck!
I want to see the mind reader

I candled last night and 4 were internally pipped. This morning two have external pips.

Tell me this doesn't look like something you should wear on your head and have some kind of powers!

Here are part of the 17 that hatched out of 21 that went into lockdown. The last one hatched yesterday with the majority being Monday which was day 21. Since these are German line Swedish Flower Hens, they are mostly black and blue based. The light color ones are isabelle leghorns.

This is a picture of one of my SFH's that hatched about 2 weeks ago. His linage is 1st import GFF. I have been working on diversity and have been getting fairly good laying, even over the winter (3-4/wk ea.), as well as excellent hatch rates on the SFH. My GFF SFH's are mostly red/mahogany base colored.

Thy look great!

You've got me wanting those Leghorns now...

Lockdown is done!

I pulled one more egg that was bad and have 37 in there. Some have internal pipped while others are still quite full. 3 or 4 look iffy but do not smell.

I can't wait to see the Whole foods chicks. They are supposed to be red sex links. The Trader Joes will be a brown hybrid x white leg horn hens.
