Chicks pipped away from air cell

[Pollmadoll]

Very nervous as I have some silver laced Wyandotte/silky serama chicks hatching hopefully tonight but they have pipped 1cm above air cell! I can hear chirping . Does anyone have any photos of this unusual cross breed.

No photos here but I’d love to see your new chicks! Are they all hatched yet?

 

[Pollmadoll]

All three hatched safe and sound. The last one got shrink wrapped so had to assist it . Very scarey but it is now very happy and healthy

Aww they are too cute. Thank you for sharing.

Did you purposely crossbreed them or did your rooster get your hen?

Right now I have four chicks from a Black Jersey Giant mama and a White Leghorn roo. Two look like the mom, one like the roo, but one looks like a mix. White body with black striped feathers. We’re hoping it’s not a roo because we already have 4

Nope, the Dad is a silky serama and Mum a silverlaced Wyandotte. I am amazed at their beautiful varied colouring. Also I had a 100% successful hatch. They are now called LIGHTNING ( the largest first born and probably a cockerel) MIMI ( the cream one ) and APRICOT (the smallest as I had to save her/ him)

Well done on your save. The one I saved is still the smallest but truly loving life

It is always a hard decision whether we save them but thin time I was correct in assisting as little Apricot was too weak at rhe end and shrink wrapped
