That egg hatched half an hour later. It can take hours and hours. I haven't glimpsed anything happening w the others, but I don't get to see much. Here's the first blurry pic of hatchling #1
I have put a mesh screen in front so she can't leave. She's still in w the flock, and I don't trust the big hens not to hurt the chicks. This nest is 24" wide, so there is room to move around, I'll add food and water tomorrow, it will be a mini brooder for a couple days until the hatch is complete.
Yes, the chicks are. (Hen that hatched them is a silver Sebright.) I got 5 Spitzhauben chicks in spring of 2018, drove up to Cackle. 3 were boys, sold 2. I had the trio left, one hen disappeared in April. I sold the pair because the rooster had aggressive tendencies. The Amish lady didn't mind, she wanted them anyway. I saved 4 of the eggs to hatch.
I think so! I need to go back and write them all down and map out where everything is so we can decide where we wanna stop.
The hubby is pretty excited to see your store
