HAPPY NEW YEAR!

That is super fantastic!

Happy New year's everyone! I had 3 out of 7 hatch from shipped eggs... So I'm grateful for it. The fact that I got one of each (svart hona, bielefelder, and Dutch bantum) just made it all the more precious. I have them in a cardboard box brooder right next to my bed, and I'm watching them this morning while snuggling my sick kitty. What is everyone planning to do today?

3 is a good hatch! It is sad when only one hatches

One baby on top of her. Some under. Others all around. Lol

What a great Mom!

The chicks look very happy too

 

[ronott1]

My broody’s babies are all hatched now, too.

I never expected 100% hatch across the board. Holy crap, I have 29 chicks!!!

It is both good and bad. 29 chicks is too much for me to brood. I would have to find homes for a lot of them

 

[ronott1]

I wish i had the 100% like yall!
Congratulations!​

It's ok! We count total hatch for the contest

 

[ronott1]

I finally had to help, pieces of shell & inner membrane was stuck to them. They are still working on getting out. Nothing like subzero weather. It is so dry! Hope they make it! They chirped at me. I'll be weighing & measuring next time, and getting a hatch cam setup!

I can't wait!

CCL baby (I'm assuming cockerel) top right and serama baby, middle left, in front of the older serama chick lol.

Still waiting for more babies. 4 hatched, 23 more eggs still in the hatcher, at least 10 of which are pipped

Very nice hatch!

Y'all need to clean out your brooders.

Y'all need to clean out your brooders.

But I just did mine this morning! Lol

 

[Altfrizzle]

Me too! Cleaned this morning.

Well, technically mama hen is brooding them, but yeah, I’ll likely be looking to re-Home most of them in the not too distant future.
