Hatch-Along - Eggs set in November, due December, anyone?

[3Dchicken]

Good luck, I start on sat. I got a nice variety, Buff, Dominick's, Barred Rocks, RIR mixed with Red links, I think is what he said I will have new breeds when they hatch, I have the Buff and RIR already so I'm really looking forward to seeing if the others will hatch, should get something with 18 eggs.

I have a chick!!!:


She hatched at 12 last night. Today is day 21, and her egg shell is pink w/ no veins. She was ready! This is Sophie!!!

I think she might be a Delaware or maybe a Delaware Rhode Island Red mix. DD

Her beak and feet are pink and her beak has a brownish spot on it.



AND ANOTHER PIP! I must have done something right this hatch!

Thanks! Just one chick so far though. I hope that will be different later!

3D, Hope has a buddy now, any new babies?

 

[3Dchicken]

Yup! Two actually! One has a small red thing dangling from her bum, and it popped and a bit of pink liquid oozed out, but she is still moving around in there. I put polysporin on it and around her on paper towel so it doesn't get infected. She is in a large Becel container.
The other one is perfectly healthy.


Bella

Sophie
I only have pictures of two of them. The second healthy one is yellow with brownish spots hare and there and looks like she is wearing eye liner.

She doesn't have a name. The first one's name is Sophie, the second whom I just mentioned doesn't have one, and the third one (the black one with bum problems) is named Bella.

You know 3D some day you will have a roo, I think Bella just hasn't absorbed all of the yolk and when it dries out she will be fine, bet he's the boy. Now Hope has playmates. I start with my bator today at noon for the hatch along, I'm eggcited!!!! I am setting 18 eggs, if all hatch, I don't know what I'm gonna do with all of the chicks, hope most are hens, we want eggs,eggs,and more eggs. I have now officially out grown my present coop and we are planning on building a bigger one, how quickly ones flock grows is amazing, and my DH says no more for a while. Wonder what his definition of a while is hmmm.

lol Maybe a couple months?! XDD

I do think that Bella is a boy. Her/his legs are quite thick. I think I might give the name Bella to the other chick. Here is a recent couple pictures:



The umbilical cord is turning black/white. I actually caught her preening!

And her two other buddies in the brooder. Hope doesn't know WHAT is going on! XD

 

[3Dchicken]

There was a little bit of red on it still, but I think it is turning grey!

Cute, I'd put Belldore (bella's new name) in with his buddies, as long as he is a powder puff they will not see it and pick at it. had one that way and he/she did fine once they were powder puffs
