Chick #10 is out and drying off and chick #11 is hatching. Can hear peeping in my pure Australorp egg, but no pip yet. I sure hope it gets out and I don't lose that one.
I took the last 2 eggs away from the broody, they still hadn't pipped and I don't think they will, I stuck them in the incubator just in case. I shoo'ed her outside to get some food and water and messed up the nest. Hopefully she will stay out of the box and mix back in with the flock.
Looks like I will have 11, maybe 12. With all the other chicks I have right now, I am very happy with that! Will take better pics soon as they are all dried and awake
Another duck yet? I think my hatch is done these last 2 button's don't seem to be doing anything. Well done til Saturday, then I have a few egg's that will be on day 19.
Yep, second ducky is out and drying now... we got to watch the whole thing. My daughter went NUTS when she got to pet the first one. I thought she was going to lose her mind on how excited she was over the baby duck.
I bet she was excited. I think I went alittle overboard with the egg ordering. I was thinking only a few would hatch from each lot since they were shipped. I figured maybe 50%. I have some Due to hatch sat. and then 9 to hatch the 3rd, and put 12 in yesterday. I really need to go outside and build another coop or 2. They are bot all Sikie though, about 90% are.
