oh Brooks! I soooooo need a dark brahma roo : ( I have no darn luck I should just sell the hens

Sally, I wish you lived closer. I have a dark brahma roo chick that I would give to you, but I don't feel safe shipping live birds.

It doesn't look like it. It pipped through the membrane. The tip of it's beak was poking out, but just the very tip.

I had some like this from those ameraucan eggs and they hatched, HOWEVER I am not sure if these were the ones that ended upsidedown and died in malpositions! I had 4 of them! I should have figured that out, but I had so much in and out of the hatcher! sorry!

Got it!! So, I'll just have to do what I always do....PRAY!!

I see a looong 2 weeks ahead!

Better go check my laundry room. Felt bad for my babies, so, I let 3 Seramas, and a bunch of teen chicks have the run of the place. I put puppy pads down, but have a feeling I better take the mop with me, LOL!

Those are good eggs! 

The embryo is in the center of the veining which happens to be directly under the air cell in this picture so you won't see it. 

Awesome!  Gardeninmomma this is what we are talking about!  WONDERFUL pics too!

Thanks everyone!! I'm hoping and praying this hatch is better than the last!! Also my sweet broody coo coo is doing wonderful!! Taking care of those sweet little legs!! She's one tuff chick sitting on that nest day and night!! Lots of respect for momma hen!!!
