Thanks! Unfortunately this is not a breed that I want. The boxes were mixed up and I received these by mistakes. I also have buff brahma eggs in the incubator that I really want and no signs of piping. I had at least two that were moving on lockdown. I am losing hope.

If you don't really wants the chicks you could always post them on craigslist. Keeping the faith for your BB eggs.

Hatch day for my Swedish Flower Hens, but no action so far. Trying to not be anxious.

Sometimes I think they do this on purpose!!!

One of my mystery chickens hatched over night and the other two have pips! I wasn't expecting anything until Sunday! Here it is so...................What do I have with this 4 toed cutie???



(Sorry so blurry I was in a hurry.)

So itty bitty my Silkies are quadruple this size.

If it is that small could it be a Serema chick?

just noticed my polish chicks foot , it seems to get about ok , doesnt seem to bother about it , and eating and drinking ok . does anyone think this is a problem and is her / his toes broken ??

You need to make a chick shoe for him/her. If you leave them like that there will be problems with the foot as he gets older. Here is a thread on how to do it: Chick shoe

For some reason I was not being notified by email when posts where being made to this thread. Just did a bit of catching up and now I will give an update on my chicks. It looks like I ended up with 4/10 silkies. I did candle last night and saw 1 internal pip and the 3 others there is no movement. I am waiting until Sunday to see if anything happens. I ended up with 3/5 Marans hatching. The 3rd one had pipped Wednesday night and I gave it 24 hours before starting to help. I could see the membrane was starting to dry up. I opened the pip to about the size of a dime and wet down the membrane as much as I could and put the egg back in. The little guy was chirping and moving around but something told me that he hadn't absorbed all the yolk yet. I took it out again right before bed and peeled a little more of the shell away. This little guy just did not want to zip his way out. I wet the membrane again and put him back in the bator hoping he would hatch by morning. I was in a sound sleep and something told me to go assist the chick. 5:30 am mind you. So with bleary eyes I went and looked and the poor little guy was totally shrunk wrapped except for the pip area and the part I had peeled away. I warmed up some water and went to work and the little guy hatched and was covered in dried up crud. I am really glad I had waited though because it looked like the umbilical cord had just fallen off. Worked like crazy to clean the chick and then put him back in the bator. Every hour I have been taking him out and trying to get more of the gunk off. He is finally starting to look like a chick. I'll post pics of everyone once this little one is in the brooder.
