nah.. no polish

I have faith.. maybe they just take longer

Apparently a few of my current chicks are part polish.. they are getting a little head dress. Check out my Blog for the most recent pics of them

Don't worry by the way.. My first hatch took over 3 full days from start to finish!

The two are still zipping, and hardly making any progress! I haven't even opened the bator since early yesterday morning. They weren't even zipping then. They are cheeping like crazy, and breathing. Humidity has dropped nicely, but still not as low as I would like. However, I have another zipper (BR) about 1/2 way done.

Ugh! I'm dumb I'm dumb I'm dumb!! I wasn't hearing or seeing anything for many hours. (day 3 for me of hatching) I tried candling a few to see if I had any signs of life. Nothing I could see on a few. ASSUMED wrong and when I went to put a small hole in a dark brahma air cell it crushed in a small portion. CHEEPING and a small amount of blood

I quickly put it back in. Please please be ok!!!

Get us pictures, Nick! I just set a flashlight on top of the Genesis and then take a picture, which works well.

There is hope, itsazoo! Look at this youtube video... There is hope! http://www.youtube.com/user/nursemary2#p/u/1/VrnPAE_Lx7U

I will go snap some pictures of the bator and the brooder. I have 12 in the brooder. I will also put some on a towel on the sofa so you can see them better.

Photos uploading, and I have a BBS Orp pip!

BR zipper

BO zipper... I think. Might be a BR? I forgot.

EE zipper

Brooder... I let them rest in a tote with paper towels before putting them in here.

Looking through the pop door. I made it so I can get down on the chicks' level for pictures and such.

Photoshoot...

EE's

BO's

Ameraucanas... I think I have a Lav and a Splash? All I know is the person I got the eggs from said that she has "assorted Ameraucanas with some black roosters".

Delaware or Rhodel... If Rhodel than I know it's female.

Oh, and see the idiot's guide to raising chickens? They were trying to show me where it was!
