Ahh, day 21...Very nice chicks! I finally managed to get some pictures of my own little buggers. I have nine silkies (8white, 1buff), and 3 Brahma crosses, so far.

Alright, so I broke down and picked up the current hatchlings from the incubator:

This is the tally so far:

Incubator:
4 BCM eggs, 4 good at day 14 candling, 1 hatched so far (day 22)

4 Olive Egger eggs, 4 good at day 14, all 4 hatched !!! (day 22)

6 Ameraucana eggs, only one good at day 14, 0 hatched so far (day 21)

Silkie:
4 BCM eggs, not candled, 1 hatched so far

No pips as yet for any of the other eggs.

Now my problem is to try and figure out who is who... both the BCM as well as the Olive Eggers are black with a few yellow patches (in basically the same spots), have dark spotted and slightly feathered legs...
I guess I'll have to stare at them for a bit longer to try and see any difference...

...one of these five is not like the others...

I'll post pics as soon as I find the camera...

So, the previous tally was also the final one:
2 BCM out of 8 eggs (1 of 4 hatched under the silkie and 1 of 4 in the incubator)
4 Olive Eggers out of 4 eggs (all incubator)
None of the 6 Ameraucanas hatched, and only one even started developing.

I put all 6 chicks in with the Silkie and she's one happy mum

So total count right now is 6 hatched and 2 pips and a couple rocking around. Will post pics later.
