I am surprised that @chiqita did not pick this up from the hatch a long thread. There was discussion about hatching Geese and as usual it is not a hard as some make it out to be:

I got my scovy hatching wisdom from celtic oats. She said misting and cooling and on their side were good. She also dry hatched unless the weight was screwy. I did not mist in the hovabator or weigh. And I had a 0% hatch. Im thinking about trying to talk deann about trying a few in the dicky to see how they do there. We had a looong talk about in incubators in the car again. Should I stay or should I go.....

I would try a Dickey if I were you. If people want you to incubate hard to hatch breeds you could have a nice little business. The State of Silicon Valley would be the richest in the country--Lots of Hobby money in that area....

The chicks are getting close to a week old. All of the 6 that made it to lockdown hatched and are doing well. I helped one hatch (even though I said I wouldn't do that anymore)

. It's feet were tucked up with it's head inside the egg. These were supposed to be a Red Ranger/ Favorolles cross (meat chickens). Looks like I got three of those, and 3 bearded, 5 toed, feather footed Australorp mixes.




Here are my 3 mystery chicks: The 2 on the left are "mystery bantams", and the one on the right is a "mystery crested" I think the one on the left is a Mottled Cochin, but I have no idea on the other two.

It's been awhile but maybe SL Polish on the crested.

Are the bantams pure?

I'm agreeing with OR4-hmom on saying SL Polish for the crested chick,
Mottled Cochin bantam for the feather legged chick,
And Silver Sebright for the smallest chick.
