all these hatching out that you see here are pure bred plymouth white rocks.

when they first hatch out they look black as they are wet.

when they dry and fluff the down is yellow, white and black.

when they feather out they are snow white.

uggghhh I just learned the biggest problem with a stagger hatch like this.

On sept 28/29 I hatched out 4 buff orpingtons. Yesterday the 1st baby that hatched I tried to add with the BO's. No way, they nearly pecked it to death. So I got a second box and put him in it separate from the BO's. Now the hatch that happened today, I put it in the box with the one that hatched yesterday. Same darn thing, Chick #1 wanted to just peck away on hatch #2. grrrrr darn pecking order thing. So I guess they will all be going in their own boxes.

No not ever again...staggering hatch such as this.

yup did it once with 4 different dates of chicks-and this is what happened-

4 different brooder boxes with 4 different lights-had to go out and buy two more lights and used my tub as a brooder for a duck that hatched out of one of my shipped "chicken" eggs!!!

these were 3 out of 4 hatches in 10 days! NEVER AGAIN!!!

hahahahaha too funny. Im sorry that happened to you. To my surprise, I went out to look for another box, and left the 2 chicks together while I was outside. And then I come in and I am all ready to separate them, and I be darn, the 2 are huddled up together in the box under the light and getting along just fine.

woooo hooooo I got lucky. We will see about tomorrow's hatch.

they like each other now.

I put all of them together at the 3 week mark! in a big 4 x 8 brooder in garage-a few fights here or there-but now at 5-6 months old they all get along great!

Good morning everyone. Day 3 of this "hatch week". Watching nervously this morning, the Sept. 17th egg has not pipped yet this morning and its 7 a.m. Keep your

24 hours to go (and counting down) until the Double yolk is due to pip.
