Coconut oil will be fine then lol

A little water won't hurt really.
Sounds like it maybe partridge.

She's supposed to look similar to these. She has a lot of light tan and dark brown. Really cute. It's looking like her legs might be feathered too!

Ok. So just put some on a q-tip and gently paint it on? How often do I do it? It won't hurt it at all right?

They're partridge based, see the striping?

Some of my chicks I hatched recently for comparison.

Just put it on the most driest part with a qtip. It wouldn’t hurt it. Coconut oil actually has properties to keep bacteria away. Don’t go overboard though.

Ok. I'll go do it right now. Liquid oil right? We have the chunky stuff whatever that's called.

They're super cute. Her Mom use a splash BLRW and her dad is a buff brahma roo though. So I'm not sure how they would be Partridge. I love the way those look though, I definitely wouldn't mind if that's how she looks. Only 7 more days!

Hi guys! So I'm trying this finally! I'm going to try this with two chicken eggs. I'm going to cut a chicken egg shell in half, set the half inside a Dixie cup, poke a few air holes in the bottom/sides of the cup, crack the egg inside the shell, cover the top with saran wrap, and put it in. The chicks are crosses from my flock, my Blue Laced Red Wyandotte pullet X Buff Brahma Bantam Rooster (Egg #1) and Partridge Cochin Pullet X Buff Brahma Bantam Rooster (Egg #2). I'm really excited about the PC egg. I just have one problem, I already have duck eggs on day 7 in the incubator which are higher on the priority list. I don't know how to turn the cups though. That's my main problem. Anyway, if anyone wants to try this that would be awesome! I'd love to see if it works, and it would be really fun to do this along with a few others. So if you want to try a fun experiment, put in a half shell egg! I'm setting the eggs tomorrow afternoon. I'm going to tag @FortCluck @CluckNDoodle @WVduckchick @JaeG . FC do you have any suggestions on how to turn them? Excited to try this! I'll post pics when I do this tomorrow.

i dont understand at all

The Buff Brahma is partridge based, & the Wyandotte is Birchen Based, so it maybe split between the two like this, E^R/e^b.
