Hatching out some salmon Faverolle eggs I brought back from Michigan - 5 of 7 hatched so far. D'Uccles due to hatch next Sunday. Had RIR banties hatch last week with quail and guineas the first week of Jun.

Yay Aimee!

Good luck!

Donna, they're going out tomorrow on the afternoon truck.

I'm heartbroken this evening, now that the anger has died down. I had two broody silkies in the back of the silkie pen, and I gave them a mix of eggs to hatch. BCMs, Dorkings, a couple of their own eggs... one by one I pulled them out until there were two BCMs and a Dorking left. I walked into the coop this afternoon, and saw one of the other silkies pecking at something in the back of the pen... it was a Marans chick!!!

It had hatched sometime today, and I hope to God it was already dead when she started in on it.

The other hatched too, but was still under mom, but I couldn't take the risk of the others being killed too, so I moved them all indoors under my Orpington broody. I lost the SG Dorking, too... it was partially zipped when I moved it, and I think I may have chilled it.

So one BCM chick, and maybe a silkie will still hatch. I dunno. The Orpington's eggs aren't due for another 3 days yet...

Oh Tori that's awful!

I know how much work you go through for your Dorkings too.​

I've had them before but that was years ago. When I went back to Michigan last month, I saw my mom's beautiful roo and hen. I talked her out of all of the eggs that were laid for the remainder of the time I was there. I'm hoping these last two hatch. I know when I candled a couple of weeks ago they were growing. If I don't have any pips by tomorrow night, I'll candle them and see what's going on.
