Mrs. AK-Bird-Brain :
Hey there... so it was the waxed egg, huh?
I wonder if something got in there before I waxed it that caused the chick's malformity. It definitely has a large crown... have you tried taking any more pictures after it's dried?
:aww I'm so sorry...
for the rest of the silkie eggs... those are due in the next week right?
Oh, and the Bobwhites are SOOOOOO slow from pip to hatch... but once they start zipping, they ALL go! WHEEEEEE! I have pips on my 12 bobwhite eggs, too, and 7 chukar partridge in the hatcher, waiting for a few more to come out so they can go in the brooder.
Yup i'm going to post more pics soon of all of them
and i still have one egg left from you going on day 24 and the chick is still moving around in there she's a late one
Yay me and you have bob pip together!
every time i look in the bator i see a new pip from another egg so there coming...slow but steady..lol
