In the home stretch day 18

That cold/cough stuff is wicked. My youngest son had it last week and still isn't 100%. Not exactly what you needed to hear was it? Hang in there!!!

Can you tell yet if your BCM are clean or feather legged?

 

[Clay In Iowa]

They are clean legged.

The bad thing about the cold is that I got it from my 4 year old who gave it to me and my 5 month.... IT"S A HOUSE OS ILLS!!!!!!!!!

Clay how is the hatch going?

pbjmaker, you were hatching how did you do??

anybody else, how did your hatches go??

I had 16 out of 26 hatch when i left for work this morning, and i was seeing no more activity in the 10 eggs left to hatch,

But one that hatched was a naked neck silkie ??, and one that hatched is a white silkie (i think funny looking), and the rest are either silkie or frizzle, oh there was also a serama . In three months i will be a little more sure of what hatched !!!!

5 of 16 out and at least 4 more pips

4 out of 5 of my eggs hatched - they were from my own backyard. Looks like I have two full mille fleur d'uccles, a serama X d'uccle, and one that is the right color,etc for a d'uccle but has chipmunk stripes. Hmmm - I'll go get a picture of all 4 of them. I have one more egg still in the hatcher that was a few days behind but I think it's a quitter. Then I have two more hatches coming up on the 4th and the 13th.

Clay - I hope you get better soon and I especially hope the baby does. That crud is so hard on those really little ones!
