I'm,home schooled

I don't how your hatch is coming along but don't let it bother you we were all just as bad as you when we started if not worse and most of us haven't gotten any better . so watch on young'un watch on

It just can't be helped.....my silkied Serama pullet has gone broody so I have to let her try, right?

It's a must!

 

[Hawk12]

if you want to grab it out quick to check if its clear go ahead just make sure you wipe the side with a warm wet cloth to up humidity real quick, or mist side of bator, dont get eggs wet
 or if you see that its clear let it go, just remember what time it pipped

I checked it quickly. Not sure what I'm seeing. Wish you were here to help me. Baby doesn't appear to be near where the pip is. I can't tell if I see movement or if just my eyes wanting to see movement. I'll just wait and see what happens. Thank you!

Okay wow still working on catching up. Not sure I'll ever be done catching up but it was a long weekend and I've missed so much on here. Firstly BC I missed it I'm 24-turning 25 on 12/28, and I'm in southern WI.

Secondly gimmiebirdies you have got to start breeding those gray layers BC I love them and I think we can all agree that it's a color we need in our egg baskets. Start passing them out. You have to have enough to share with the class.

Thirdly I am praying for you all(and everyone's eggs) so very very much luckily most of all the storms has missed us despite us getting 2 inches of rain day before yesterday. It is however cold and extremely windy today.

Fourthly I got a new layer yesterday has to be one of my other silkie pullets so I'm very excited don't know it it was Mary Anne or Lovey though... And then there's just the one little one left that idk what gender it is. We also have gotten the two largest silver laced wyandotte eggs we've ever had yesterday and I'm dieing to put them in the incubator. I don't think they're double yolkers just some bigger eggs. Considering that the wyandottes started out laying eggs smaller than even my oegb's first eggs, which shocked me. I'm glad to see them increasing in size. I can't wait to try hatching some this spring and my silkie eggs! Also I was supposed to sell most of my silkie hatch too but honestly there's really only one I want to sell. I figured since the 17 eggs we received only cost 30 bucks we could easily regain that selling their chicks. I also have my bantam barred cochin and she is being fertized by either my red/partridge silkie roo or my white one. Would the chicks be sex linked? I know they wouldn't be silkies but it could still be very cool. I can't wait to be able to breed my little show quality black oegbs I'm also hoping to improve on my little self blue oegb but we'll see.

Our eventual plan is to be able to completely or almost completely have a self sustaining flock and also to be able to breed our own meat bird type. That's one thing I'm thinking of my silver laced wyandottes for the rooster we have is probably 16-18 lbs he's massive. It's just up to him if he lives or dies at this point. He came at me last week and I admit I had to kick him, not hard but enough to knock him back he hasn't come at me since but I still don't trust him. He'd already be gone but he's so gorgeous and he's absolutely amazing with the flock, and so gentle with the girls they barely know he's bred them. Ugh. But I'm hoping to integrate an English orp cockeral soon as I've graciously been offered one. But idk what color to get. They have black and blue and a black/lav split. My pullets could potentially carry lavender if I understand correctly as their daddy was split for it. I want to get some lavenders in the spring and then I would only need the one orp roo right? Help?! Lol

your another yungin!! gosh this gang is all over the place! how cool! yes we all agree on gimmies eggs!!! stop eating them eggs !!!!

Good Evenin @BYC910

@chickenhawk - I just want you to know that I hover over my eggs too. It is better to try to keep yourself busy but that is hard to do when all you can think about is your babies hatching. Today is day 20 for me, I know you are a day behind me, and right now I only have 2 external pips. It seems like the last few days of the hatch take forever. We can try to be patient together

 

[chicken hawk 33]

Yes

 

[Cynthia12]

I am also on day 20. The three that have been pipped all day will probably wait until the middle of the night to do more, or even tomorrow. Only have two others that need to pip now! So come on and pip already. Have I gone to the bator several times today? Can't count the amount of times.
