Are they solid black when they dry?

I like black birds...but I rarely get them.

I've had eggs hatch as late as day 22/23. But sometimes one knows that's it.

How are the four doing? Was that your lavender chick? How is the one that you helped extricate from the shell?

They are dry and fluffy gonna move them to the brooder tomorrow but gotta evict the ones in my brooder they are 5 weeks old I think. I had to help the other zipped one to, my humidity is at 70 and they are still shrink wrapping

Yup, they're both solid black with white wing tips. The mother is a Sapphire Olive Egger and the father is a White Japanese Bantam so idk why they're black

Three of them

The other one

My lavender

Looks like two of the eggs are dead but one is internally pipped theres always a late one lol

That's great to hear they're doing well and ready for the brooder!
