Well, my first blue wheaten Ameraucana hatched...lol. Guess I didn't wait long enough after separating to collect eggs. Oh well, I thought this might happen, and it was only supposed to be a test hatch anyway. Only problem is, I have NO IDEA how I got a blue/black (I think blue) baby! The only other boy who could've been the father is my bielefelder cockerel. That wouldn't make a blue baby, if I typed it in on the chicken calculator the right way. What happened there? Anyway, here's the newcomer!

ETA: I guess there's a chance my BCM cockerel is the father, but he was only with her for 2 days before they got separated...Idk. This is a little new to me.

We have quail! All 3 quail eggs that developed hatched overnight Pictures when they're dry and fluffy! It stinks that I missed the "popcorn" of them hatching but that's ok. I'm Ajay in love with their little peeping

Well, here's something I have definitely never encountered...I got two different types of chicks. The egg from 11/10 hatched a chipmunk-looking chick, the egg from 11/12 hatched a blue/black chick, the egg from 11/14 hatched a chipmunk chick, and the egg from 11/15 hatched another blue/black chick! What the heck? I'm guessing the blue/black babies are from my BCM cockerel, and I guess the chipmunk would be my Bielefelder...I didn't know it was possible for them to be mixed like that, though. How did every other baby have a different dad? So weird! Guess these babies are gonna have to find new homes, since I can't keep any that aren't gonna be part of my breeding program. Even though I'd love to keep one of the olive Egger babies, and I'm curious to see what the Bielefelder cross babies will look like. Oh well. At least I know my NYD hatchalong babies will be pure. And, it looks like my Sussex babies from this hatch are pure. Only had one of those hatch so far, though. Got 2 more BW babies pipped, one more Sussex pipped, and waiting for the other 2 Sussex to pip. I'll post a pic in a second....

Hi I'm Greg and currently we are running 2 farm innovators pro series digital incubators and a little giant. This is actually our first run but we seem to be doing pretty good. We have a big mixed flock consisting of 20 adult hens, 4 adult roosters, 2 adult guineas, 6 adult female ducks, and 6 adult drakes. We also have some chicks that were hatched by 2 of our flock and currently 3 ducklings and 5 chicks that we hatched. I kinda jumped into incubating with no clue of what to do but I've got a pretty good set-up now lol. Our next run should be much more fruitful and we will be starting it around new year. We are trying to hatch as many as possible before spring so that we can start selling.

Here's some pics!
The one on top here is the most recent hatch, the Speckled Sussex. The other is one of the blue/blacks:

Here's the first baby (on top) with one of the chipmunks:

So, there they are! Hoping the other 2 Am crosses come out soon!
