Icelandic Chickens

[mlm Mike]

one more popped out! have two more pipping. first pic is of first chick

this one looks a lot darker than the first one even though it hasn't dried out yet

Awesome! Is it too early to tell if either is crested?

i'm keeping my fingers crossed for one....but it doesn't look like the first one is and too hard to see on the second. I have another zipping and 2 are pipping. by the morning i'm hoping that i have a total of 5-7 hatched.

hope this works

cool!
I am waiting for my first EE to finish hatching ( so stressful when they are 'zipping' for so long and can't finish that final push!) then I am going to move a bunch into the brooder, because they are getting crazy in there!

Hatching report so far.... 5 hatched, one zipping and one pipping! 4 are darker colored and one is a buff reddish color

 

[mbmess2003]

here is the hatch so far (from this morning) can't really get great pics through the incubator window but here goes... I can't believe how orange their feet are!

also those that have hatched them before....any idea on colors that these will develope in to or will they change as they grow?

Congrats Brad! They will change a lot in color patterns as they grow.
