and it's out!! i made some video clips of the unzipping, will try to stitch them together...

looks like it will be a splash or blue isbar when it dries out!

I love it when they pip wrong and then hatch fine!

sorry to read about the sick chicken! and such cute chicks!

good news here: i just got home for lunch & the isbar egg is JUST starting to unzip! can't wait to see it out!

You have more patience than I do! I am glad at least one hatched. I had 15 eggs shipped to me and I had 4 hatch. Of course I am not a pro.

We can work something out I'm sure. It wouldn't really give them a friend to hang with, but at least they would have someone else that's new. Of course, you could quarantine the birds together, that would help.

Hi Debs flock,
I have been looking for some BC Marans as well. I would love a pullet or two. I really want to concentrate my flock on breeding some olive eggers. I have 1 Ameracauna hen and a lavender Ameracauna roo, so some BC Marans would be perfect. Just throwing that out there too.
If course I would like to get my chicken checked out first.

I'm sure I could come up with someone. I just moved several pullets into the pen.

Congratulations!

Okay, I just discovered something pretty cool. Anybody else have a chicken with two different eyes? I don't know how I didn't notice it before, but my young(4.5? months) Splash Andalusian has different eyes. They're not actually different colors, just one is very dark and the other is bright.

Also, anyone know what the blueish-black streak on her beak is? Is that common with splash chickens?

Yay, you'll know for sure when it's dry, but it appears splash. Congratulations on company for your first baby.

it's looking splashy as it's fluffing out (asleep now), so yay! and yes, quite relieved to have more than one chick, as it would have been so lonely! but now they can be pals -- and once they've rested a bit, will move to the brooder & see if any of the remaining 11 eggs show any sign of life...

Yes definitely think God it has company because when they don't they are the noisiest little things you've ever heard! Lol
