These guys hatched yesterday and today... We've got one more egg to go. Sadly I had to pull the other one. It had pipped at the wrong end and I think it was too big to get out. By the time I discovered it the little guy had passed
I didn't know it had pipped because it was in a carton... That was my first time hatching in a carton and probably my last thanks to this sad experience.
Fortunately we have three healthy babies so I'm happy about that! They are all funny colors...two blue Wyandottes (one with a yellow face, one with a black face). I'm not sure what colors they will turn out to be. The third is a black and white penguin-looking sexlink from my BR hen and my blue copper Marans roo. No white dot on the head so we have at least one pullet! YAY!
These guys had a big day - moving out of the incubator into their temporary box where I introduced them to their 2 week old siblings... Man do they grow in two weeks! You forget until you see them side by side
So far everyone is getting along fine!
And the introduction to my Silkie chick and my BO/BCM chick
