@lpyrbby Your Ringo is gorgeous!

2 more pips!

That is very exciting!

7 pips total this morning and they're chatting!

Nice!

Do you use a tube through a vent to add water to the sponge? I put a sponge into a food storage container and add water to the conainer when I need to add more moisture and the water channels are full.

No pips for me yet

I hope you see some soon!

Do any of you know if there will be a next hatch-a-long on soon?

I think the next one should be a Valentines Day hatch. I'm planning to try for some JO's and SLO's and maybe some JO/BO's if they are fertile. What are you going to try?

Early bird!!

Are they shipped eggs? Looking good!

Handsome gentlemen!

I have a Ringo too, who is the sole father of my barnyard mixes lol

Nice flock!

FORTEEN chicks so far!!!!!

Eight of them are Captain Jack Sparrow's chicks ! They are lemon-yellow and a few have a black spot here or there.


Five of the chick are Garfunkel's. So far four golden-yellow and one red based chipmunk babies.


And this guy (Ringo) snuck one in there when a blue colored Ameraucana/Marans mix dashed into his pen. LOL
His baby is the color of a peeled banana. Sort of yellow, sort of white.

Can't wait to see the hatched chick pictures!

Do they ever have trouble hatching from cartons like that? I always hate it when the unhatched eggs get kicked around by the chicks that hatch first. Keeping them in cartons would probably stop that from happening.
