It's always fun to hatch your own, especially mixes, then you get to Play "Who's your Daddy?"
The RiR are likely gonna be crossed on Houdan , but Laverne & Shirley are in with Curly (Houdan) , Mason (Splash Orp) , Dixon (Blue Orp) and Hercules (Buff Orp) so anything goes!

well, there are 13 total hatched out with a few more working. a few look like they gave up and didn't pip. we'll see soon!

eta...going back to bed for awhile. i am a sleepy chick myself!

on the first hatch. Sounds like everything is going great. Best wishes on the rest of the hatch.

I just put eggs in for my first hatch...due day after x-mas.

Awesome looking chicks btw!

one has 4 and one has 5.

a RIR was hatched, i think in the night. it's light with the reddish chipmunk pattern.

also, a RIR is trying to get out now. is pipped and working on zipping.

one prob...maybe someone will know the answer...

one chick was zipped and not coming out, not coming out...on and on. finally, i noticed it was dripping yolk and stuck to the wire on the floor.

i rolled it slightly and saw it was COATED with yolk and sealed shut! i helped the little bugger out and it made it. it still has yolk on it that is hard as a rock. can i was it in warm water????
