Dominiques and Orpington Chicks!!!!! Pics!

[lockedhearts]

I got Dominique eggs from Mandy and added some of mine.
I started with 30 Dominiques, 4 Olive BBS Orps and 5 Favorelles

I weeded out 1 Orp and 5 Doms and 1 Orp at my first candle.


On Lockdown I had

25 Doms

5 Favorelles

3 Orps

I hatched 14 Doms, 3 Orps

The favs look like they quit a few days ago , I did have a temp spike around Day 12

I still have 11 Doms in the bator but when I moved the chicks I quickly candled and did not see any movement, but they will stay through the weekend. 2 Doms are having leg issues and are seperated right now.

Pics Below:

Orpington, looks Black

This one was a bit sticky, still looks like he used too much Hair gel !

Thanks! I used the link you sent me and if it holds true, I have 3 boys and 8 girls.

I lost the 2 with issues, they were already weak when I got home, but I am still excited about the hatch I had. I am leaving the last 11 eggs in the bator over the weekend, just in case.
