INTERNAL PIPS!!! I have Ohiki eggs with internal pips!!!

@minihorse927 should I worry about them externally pipping or think they will be fine???

oh, that paint easter egger pullet I was going to send an egg from, well they weren't fertile. Set 2 weeks worth and nothing. Cracked today's egg and IT'S FERTILE! She's been running with my mauve orpington rooster, so I'm going to hopefully have mauve and chocolate easter eggers.

Very good looking birds AJ. The top one is my favorite.

haha thts because you are partial it's a grandchick but yeah I love the markings on him the best unfortunately he is a HE...the only white hen has like two blackish feathers lol.....but she does have the heaviest leg feathering and crest also........Duke My buff brahma is turning into a handsome cockerel.....has a bit more black smuging on his back then I'd like but daisy the buff brahma hen has great color and markings..........very clean... I keep trying to get a decent pic of the blue brahma but he is wiley lol...and so far has shown a nice calm personality type the white ones are more flighty

awesome! No, they'll be fine. I've never had to help an ohiki. They always pop right out. I've only ever had 2 or 3 not hatch once making it to lockdown.

Whew! Awesome! Have 2 internal pips under Broody 1...

And 2 internal pips under Broody 2...

And not tood pic, but this is Broody 3 with the lone Call egg...

my orps just growl at me all the time. Otherwise I don't hear much out of them. Mine are the English version though.

Broody 1 is Self Blue OEGB, Broody 2 is Araucana Bantam and Broody 3 is Silkie...

The Lav/blacks are pure Ameraucanas... only have the 1 full Lav Orp roo and a couple Lav EE's from the Orp over the Am's... the Roo is awesome, and the EE's are still typical chicken teenagers, lol...

Edited to add, never heard an Orp honk before... :/
