April 2023 Hatch-A-Long

[Honora]

These guys are taking a while to hatch but they seem to be doing ok. 5 regular pips and a wrong end pip right now, no zipping yet. This one has its beak sticking out and some feathers, looks black

Up to 9/12 externally pipped this morning and they were quite talkative when I turned the light next to them on. Hopefully we’ll see some beaks by the time I’m out of class given how far along some of them were!

Chicks in shell peeping.

The first one is out! She is bleeding a little from the navel but should be ok. I will put some antibacterial ointment on it when I take her out.

Three whites hatched so far! Still drying off but figuring out this whole "walking" business

So pretty

Mine are all done! I had a great, trouble free hatch. All 15 chicks are out and healthy.

I haven't had time to take better photos but here are some of them settling in.

Thanks! 7 Light Sussex and 8 Bresse.

How are you getting on now? Have any more hatched yet? Your first one is a cutie!
