Many have feathered feet?

Does that indicate bantam?

Feathered legs can be either/or bantam or lf... go by size of chick, bantams will be much smaller than lf chicks...

Aw! Congratulations!

 

[WVduckchick]

Wow! Great first hatch! Adorable pics

 

[gimmie birdies]

I had these eggs in crock pot for a week, then it got too hot, I moved to my homemade incubator, and got one pip today, they are due on 2nd.

Chicks in order of hatch:

This one on the bottom is the only one with feathered legs, it's much fluffier than the rest.

 

[Wishing4Wings]

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!?

Have 20 chicks.

Out of 26 eggs at lockdown.
One hatched was culled due to deformity
One pip culled died on shell

Waiting on. 4 more.

One has pipped and broke off allot is shell but is struggling. Maybe low humidity from removing other hatched chicks ?
Three others not sure?

Congrats! What was the deformity?

 

[Tumbling K]

Sorry for leaving y'all hanging.

The deformity? Not too sure. One leg was noticeably shorter. Know that because 12 hours after hatching, it had never gotten up and never bent either leg. It stayed laying on it's side. I tried right before culling to stand it up, but no luck.
