Day 23-update

[Riocotesei]

I think they would be mutts cause cali's lay white eggs. I'm happy with mutts as long as they're pretty lol.
.....still waiting...

 

[SunAngel]

Aha, good thinking! Mutts are ok with me too, I like variety

No other pips here yet *sigh* The little loner is peeping up a storm for friends to play with!

At least I have a brooder full of chicks for it to play with if none of the others hatch.

 

[SunAngel]

I don't get how I can have 1 chick hatched and almost dried off and not one other egg has pipped. Is that normal? The others are being very stubborn and trying to drive me nuts!!!

When do I need to get that little one some water and food, or move it to a brooder?

 

[Riocotesei]

No others of mine have pipped either. The other 2 are getting pretty dry now. How can only 1 hatch and none others? My last hatch wasn't like this at all...

I've read they can stay in there with out food for 3 days. I like to leave mine for just 2 though. s long as he's dried and fluffed up he's good.

hey guys! I finally found this thread again!

And I'm happy that I came back to find some good news at least!

Congrats on the new chick! He/she is a cutie!

I am hoping for you that this hatch is just late and that one hatched one is just an early bloomer!

If not, and the others don't hatch, just be happy that you at least got one chick out of the batch.

And don't think for one second that you are a bad chicken mama. :aww You did all you could and that's all you can offer for the chicks.

Great job!

Lets give SunAngel a big round of applause for being such an awesome chicken mama!

!!!!

And great job to you to, Riocotesei!

I hope your hatches are great too!

Good luck to both of you!

 

[SunAngel]

Thanks 77horses

Thats sweet of you!

The only problem with shipped eggs is that you usually order something you really really want. Which makes it even worse when they don't hatch. I hear other peeping, so I am still hoping there's more pips tomorrow

What day can I safely break the remaining eggs open myself to check on the chicks, day 24 or 25?

Congrats on the baby !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Riocotesei]

With my last hatch I waited till day 25 to open them. Some people only wait til day 23.
