Nice picks!

Been following this thread with silent prayers and cautious excitement. I’m so relieved to see this outcome, congratulations! Now just waiting for the name announcement. There’s been two bouncing around in my head...Pokey & Patience. Patience is quite obvious, but that baby has been “Pokey” in several ways throughout this ordeal while you’re the one that’s had to be so patient, lol!

I have 1 olive Egger, 2 French marans, a buff Orpington, and the rest are mixed. I also have 4 silkies I bought bc my silkie eggs didn’t make it through the shipping. (I’ve always wanted silkies)

They are precious ❤

You are using Neosporin without pain relief, right? The veins will usually look very thin, they don't completely dry up until a few hours after the chicks have hatched.

How do you know when the egg need neosporin?why does it need to be pain free?

When a large portion of the membrane is exposed while the duckling is still absorbing the yolk sac, one you want the baby to absorb, you wouldn't want premature drying of the membrane to occur which may lead to shrink wrapping, that's why you want to keep it moist with either Neosporin or I use coconut oil. Any pain relief product that has "Caine" in it shouldn't be used with poultry as caine is toxic to birds.

Good to know! Thank you

Here’s an almost 2 week update of the siblings! Growing like weeds they seem to be healthy as ever.
