LOL!! No, I promise I am not! Hatching is still going on, eight out so far and six more pipped. Others moving but not pipped yet.
I was just figuring this out, you sent 16 eggs and there is not one that was a "dud"!!
The babies are pretty colors, blondish, blackish, brown/tan striped, silver/tan/black striped, reddish striped. They sure are a colorful group!!!
I keep having to look in there with a flashlight so no way of taking a picture through that plastic.
Thanks all! French Hen, I took some pics with my cell phone and sent them to my e-mail address.(My cell phone is a better one than last time I took pics of chicklings,lol) How do I post them here? Or can I send them to someone to post?
They are sure active and not easy to get pictures of! In a couple I think my older Light Brahmas are in the pic too, I might have to have my daughters hold them and do a separate pic of them tonight.
I took four pics of the little ones so believe I got them all. There are still a couple hatching but I went ahead and took the ones that hatched out. Not what I would usually do, but once before I had a number (not this many!) and the other ones literally crowded on top of the hatching egg(s) and I lost those chicks. I did it quickly and the pipping ones(2) still seem fine.
Oops, another edit, I wanted to say I wont be online again until this afternoon when hopefully I can get these on here.
They are so beautiful!!
I think this hatch is over, of the last two hatching, one hadnt moved in quite a while so I checked and it was dead.
There was another one in the same shape but not gone yet. I went ahead and helped him out but his neck was all twisted up and close to his body. I will leave him in the incubator for a while to see if it improves, but if not, I guess I will have to cull him. I sure dont want to.
On the UP side, there are many very beautiful chicks that I am grateful that the hatch went as well as it did!
Again, if someone will let me forward these pics to them so they can post them in this thread, that would be very helpful.
