The first pip is no longer a little crack... It is a hole now and the chick is chirping and rocking in it's egg! A second egg has pipped too.

So awesome!!!!

Hi Everyone! It's been a while since I have been on Byc. My surgery didn't go well. After 5 weeks I have one arm that just hangs there. I went out in me Wheaten pen and took a few pictures so yall could see how they where growing. If I could get some input on which Blue Wheaten Rooster you like best out of the two. Thank you!

If you guys no anyone trying to breed bantam Ameraucana or EE I would gladly donate the little black cockerel.

I want to hatch chicks

 

[Chicken5555]

I went to bed after the second chick hatched (I was falling asleep watching the chicks) and after I could see than one was close to zipping. At exactly 4:45am something woke me. I went straight to the incubator and saw FIVE babies! Two were freshly hatched, one was damp and the first two were getting pretty fluffy.



This is the first to hatch.


The egg with a question mark on it looks like it should zip pretty soon (the babies have rolled it over so you can't see the pip). Two others have pips. Two show no signs at this point, but I'm not giving up on them yet.
