JANUARY 2015 Hatch-A-Long

[Purpletie3]

Woke up to my first chick this morning, a cute little brown EE with a smidge of feathers on its legs! Not who I was expecting to hatch first, but I'll take it! My little Silkie is still in there, hanging out and there are at least 4, maybe 5 more eggs pipped! C'mon little chickies

Silkies seem like they wanna be first to the party!!!!!!
Congrats on your hatch...sounds like you are having a great hatch!!! Woot woot !

Sorry no I've not tried emu!! I really do think my other half would put his foot down on that one
Will be interested though if anyone has. The eggs must be very large?

Thanks!

And, there is a thread for Ostriches, Emus and Rheas in the section for Other Backyard Poultry. I've stopped in there and looked through and seen pictures of Emu chicks, so someone is hatching them. I don't even think an emu egg would fit in my 'bator! But they're SOOOO stinkin cute!

I saw an egg auction on eBay and thought hmmm. Def have to use a cabinet and 60 days or something . That might top the crazy meter for me though...what would you do with it????

We could really get in trouble with our incubators!!! Lol

I have four that are due today, but no pips or peeps, yet. I'm probably going to be checking every hour today, lol!

My little EE:

Literally a brand new Silkie, it just made its way out and is very unhappy!

Congratulations @howfunkyisurchicken What cute chicks!! I'm so jealous can't wait for mine. No matter how much I cheep at the incubator it's not going to make them arrive any sooner!!

I have a recording of a hen cackling on my phone. Sometimes when I play it, the chicks will peep back!
