February 2023 hatch-a-long

[JustBabyMargo]

Here are the chicks! We’ve got 8 in total.
They’re just over a week old now.

All of the siblings have a picture together, except for the chick in the last picture, which is actually the NNs’ sibling, but it didn’t get the gene for the naked neck.
We got 1 red bantam Cochin cross, 3 NNs, and 4 EEs.

Pulled out two eggs tonight. My darker EE and a polish that quit on me.
EE was a yolker so glad it’s gone! Polish has been looking iffy and today only a couple blood vessels. When turning discovered air cell completely detached.

I am hoping for NN. I set some of my hen's eggs, I do have NN so I will see.

Day 20 on shipped eggs. +1 of my hen's. One out. 2 pips.

My svart hona egg today. Neat to see since it’s an all black chicken like the cemani and a very light egg

Starting to wonder if this baby is splay legged or something of the sort. Others in the house think she's just too weak to walk but im wondering if it also bc she has a bit of an issue we aren't doing anything about.

Try tagging the medical experts and try making a thread about her? Maybe?
