Well, out of the 18 shipped eggs, only the one BWA has made it into the brooder so far. 7/10 chicks from my local eggs are in there, doing fine. (One was clear, two early quitters.)
Oh, I forgot you had that many shipped ones.

All you people that get to travel....I envy you all...I barely get out of this tiny little town.
Guess is a good thing I like living here.
WWE rarely ever do it. So it nice when we can take a road trip and go somewhere we have never been. Next trip Disney World!!
So my local eggs and one of my shipped eggs hatched fine Saturday (day 20) Last night and this morning (day 21-22) three of my shipped eggs hatched with only partially absorbed yolk sacs, ranging from the size of a pea to the worst one that's the size of a nickel. Covered the sac with triple antibiotic ointment and popped them in small coffee cups with warm damp paper towels.
Any other words of wisdom?
I was so surprised since everyone else hatched out fine, and they weren't assisted. Hope they make it, but not sure about the worst one. They are all pretty active though.
Since you asked, LOL. One BWA and one EE/Orloff at the top, the rest are my Orloffs.

Two shipped Orloffs not looking good in the ICU, the BWA should be fine and I'll probably put it in the brooder this evening.
Take a reeeeeally long trip sometime and see the redwoods! The Smith River is supposed to be wonderful for salmon and sturgeon...
