April 2021 Hatch - A - Long

Well, I hear little chirps from the incubator that is in lockdown. so soon I should have some CCL chicks, which is good because I have 48 eggs to go into it on Sunday. Though...if I hand turn I can get around 90 in there...hmmmmm
Eggercise šŸ˜‚ the new way to get fit.
 
@LadiesAndJane I'm going to start the broody plague again šŸ˜‚ my turkey was mad today because I took her eggs from the nest she made in the thorn bushes. She has no mate so she can’t hatch. She was chasing me and everything!
That would have been a sight to see!🤣🄰
 
(Note-not in turners, just resting cups)

Another egg with a pip too! So one out and two pips.
 
Not a turner- just resting cups. The top 2 chicks from tan eggs, the bottom chick from a green egg..

3 chicks out, the blue egg has chick is in the air cell. Dark egg, may be a quitter, or a latter hatch, the bottom tan may just be a later hatch...

The chick from the green egg got scared after hatching and tried to dive back into the egg shell.
 
I thought they looked like paint silkies! Just was not sure. 😊
I dont' think we use the same vocabulary for chickens so it is a bit difficult :hmm We only have names for the big and small versions of chickens and then there color is extra mentioned. Bantam is an extra breed just as Silkies ore Sussex. The name 1 to 1 translated should be: Dwarf silkies in the color paint. Sorry I am not able to explain better.

You explain just fine! I was just excited to see the paint coloring. 🄰
