Anyone setting eggs starting July 15 -July 22?

The first picture is of the guy who took over 30 hours to hatch. But he sure did. He was the biggest egg. This picture is of the first 14 hatchlings. Two are drying up in the bator and my lone silkie egg has piped. The last egg I don't think will hatch. It's the questionable one that I kept. I may keep the bator on for another day or two for it. These are barnyard mixes. Can you tell what they are. Most of them have a lavender Ameraucan for a dad. The black ones have a brown leghorn for a mom. the blue/gray babies are Ameraucana mom and dad (I think). If you know what they are, please let me know. As you can see, I am using a little bowl as a waterer. I gave away my chick feeder and waterer when I moved my pullets to their coop . I didn't know I'd be hatching chicks within a month of giving them away. Silly me. They all seem healthy. As you can see, some have had their first poop. It's green. I had no idea.

Just hatched.


SOOOOOO CUTE!

WOW what a pretty baby .See now why you are disappointed Thats a beauty Too bad you dont live close I just had a Buff Brahama hatch early last night and i have quite a few of these eggs. tohaych today.
Not what you want but a friend in need.....Put ad on craigs 1-2dayo ld chick wanted this breed or any kind?
And on Ebay classifed Lots of ppl look at it for pets and animals.

Oh no, that's not my chick. Mine is dark blue.
That pic is of an actual paint silkie, not mine.
Believe me, I wouldn't be disappointed if I got that beauty

I put up a craigslist ad, and this one lady has a mille fleur/cochin cross that is 2 days old that hatched by itself too. She wants to give it to me, but she lives 2 hours away in idaho
Worth it? Maybe.

On my shipped eggs, 14 were clear and showed no development and were discarded at day 14. The last one's eggtopsy showed a mostly developed chick with a small yolk sac but it was upside down in the egg. I guess it drowned.

On my local eggs, one clear egg was discarded at day 14, one "stinker" was discarded around day 16, and the last one never pipped so I candled it today and saw no life. It's eggtopsy showed a very developed chick that must have died just in the last few days.

Here are the little puffballs.













I could not get them all to look at the camera.

For my next hatch I just ordered 18 "mixed duckling" hatching eggs from Metzer Farms. They will ship next week, so I will probably start them Friday morning on the 17th.

Yah, my thoughts exactly. I'm hoping I might get someone closer, but not many people have that young of chicks available.
Anyone want to ship me a chick? Haha

If I shipped these new barnyard mix chicks this afternoon, will the post office treat it the same as when the hatcheries ship chicks?

I bet they do b/c i heard its due to the heat they can put off on each other that it has to be 5.so itsa 99 or 100 inthe box Although i saw some hatchery Meyer? said they would ship 3 now!!!So maybe i am wrong and maybe they went to 3.HOpe they dont treat them as bad as eggs!!!
