this is all so EGGciting. heehee. day 20 is here for me. no big movements in my eggs but i can hear a tiny peeping sometimes. i have work to keep me busy today but tomorrow i am off and i think i will drive myself crazy hovering over the bator.

So glad that everyone is having great hatches. I am pretty convinced that mine is done and that my last 4 aren't going to hatch. There has been no activity since the 5 hatched out. So it's been quiet since yesterday. So that's a 50% hatch rate for this time but with half the eggs being shipped eggs I would say that's not too bad. 2 never developed at all from the start. So that leaves 10. One blood ring on day 10 leaving 9 eggs and out of that 9 5 hatched.

So here's what I have

Easter egger or Ameraucana

Buff cochin cross

Buff Orpington 1

Buff Orpington 2

Dark colored cochin cross

Now if they will all cooperate and be girls life will be good. hehe

In your second to last picture, all the way to the right, there is a black chick and a tawny looking chick. Are those both Rhode Island Reds of yours? This is what the difference is between my two Rhode Island Reds. If so, what is the name of each, or do they just call them Rhode Island Reds?

The blacks are Black Copper Marans (2 of them) the front on against the wall is Rhode Island Red the 2 yellows are Delawares

I don't know anything about those.

Open mouth. insert foot

HOWEVER.. all bird eggs can be effected quiet a lot by fluctuations in temp. It have heard of chicken eggs hatching on day 25 when they are supposed to hatch on 21 SOOO.. be brave
