August Hatch-A-Long

:hit, sorry to hear that your eggs didn't make it, I drove as BlueBaby said to see her and got eggs, 5 hours each way. I truly didn't expect them to hatch, as they'd been in the incubator, had to ride home, I think all told they were out of the incubator for 8+ hours, I picked up 6 and got a 6 out of 6 hatch, I lost 2 after hatching, perhaps the eggs were just no good.

Yeah, 11 out of 12 infertile and the 12th gave up some time in as i found a blood ring
 
Amazing.. this is the same chick I posted about yesterday with the neck problem

Yaaaay!! So glad the wry neck treatment worked!!! It's incredible how fast chicks can snap back! :clap
It didn’t get much treatment a few bites of medicated chick feed and boiled egg. Then I gave it back after watching it for a few hours. Checked this morning and you wouldn’t know it had anything wrong.
 
I’m starting to wonder about my Wheaten Americauna x Marans boy’s heritage... I think of the three “extra care needed” chicks two may be displaying the “rumpless gene”? They have chronic pasty butt and I’m not seeing any hints of a tail...
Huh, thought that the rumples gene had been bred out of the Ameraucanas from their Auracana ancestors? Not sure why it would cause pasty butt?
