I GOT BABIES!!! UPDATED AGAIN!!

[Broke Down Ranch]

I bought 8 buff dewlap eggs from Mothergoose

. 5 ended up to hatch day (I love good quality eggs and a tight-sittin' broody!) and right this minute I have 3 wet babies in the incubator with another working it's way around the shell!

Egg #5 is still alive and I see movement in there so I am watching like a hawk incase I need to perform open-shell surgery....lol. Pics when I move them to the brooder.....

congrats

Congratulations on your hatch Crystal!

I hope #5 makes it out for you too!

I have been sick with the flu and it is taking it's sweet ol' time going through the house. I will let you know when that suprise box heads your way!

Oh bless your heart! I hope you get to feeling better soon. I know us mom's are not allowed time off to lay in bed and be sick. You already know the surprise is not necessary so don't even let that bother you

WOW - BDR you seem to have very good luck with hatching! That is wonderful!

Now we must have pictures!

#4 just cleared the shell so....Duckyboys, it isn't me, it's good genetics, good packing, and good broodies.

I let hens set these until it was time for them to hatch - these eggs were WAY too important for me to risk incubating myself....

OK, here's a pic of them in the bottom of the cabinet bator. I had to move them from the foam goose-bator because the humidity was too high and they weren't drying out. Sorry for all the chick dust/egg shells - just got finished with a big hatch.....lol
