First Columbian Rocks are Hatching!

[PandoraTaylor]

and now there are 3 harched and I can see 1 more that is piped!

They seem to like the back corner and have moved everything around, so I can't get a good picture.
So I will wait until later or tomorrow before I open the incubator. I will keep you posted!

There are now 4 Columbian Rock chicks in the incubator and 4 eggs, they were supposed to hatch yesterday.

so in a couple of hours I will be removing the hatchlings to a warm brooder (taking pictures also) and allowing the eggs another day or two in the incubator.

Here tthey are eating already! lol

I still hear cheeps in the incubator!

so the other 4 eggs will remain in there for a day or two!

Morning Report

incubator is still running, and I see no progress from the other 4 this morning......

Temperature and Humidity Stable.....


The chicks are active and cheeping right next to the incubator......

 

[PandoraTaylor]

I guess it was just wishful thinking on my part with the 4 eggs still in the incubator as there has been no change in them at all.

So this evening I will be checking them out, to see if I can figure out what happened and when.

I'm sorry the remaining four have not hatched. But at least you have some babies!

Considering the distance from Georgia to Alaska thats amazing. Hope you get a mix of males and females. bob

Thanks all for the well wishes,

I am thankful that we have 4. Now we just have to wait and see what gender(s) and then decide how to proceed.
