JANUARY ...OUR FIRST HATCHING OF 2013 ANYONE? come join!!

[Brookhavens]

I go into lockdown with my Araucana eggs on Friday too. Then Sunday my BRocks go into lockdown ,Tuesday for my SFH and Serama,and then next Friday my Orps go. I am going to be a hatching fool the following 2 weeks. I set 7 of my Blue Rock pullet eggs last Thursday night and I candled them yesterday and all 7 are fertile!!! Have collected 12 more eggs since then and those are being set on Thursday. I can't wait to see the chicks that hatch from them. I was told I could get blue, black, barred and splash Rocks.

Awww so sorry to hear Roxanne. I had one of my 2 week old Buff Orps pass last night too. I knew something just wasn't right with it because it was not growing like all the other chicks. It was feathering out but stayed the same size.

Roxannemc -- I'm so sorry your little one didn't make it, you gave it the best week it could ever have though.

We are in lock down! The egg that had fallen on the others & gotten it's shell cracked on one side is still going!!!!! Today I carefully peeled off the electrical tape so that way it would be a lot easier to hatch & I thought hey why not see now if it's alive. Held it to my ear for a bit & BOOM "click" "click" "click" came from it!!!

I am amazed that it made it till now, I just hope everything is okay & they all do good hatching - already have everything ready near the bator to help any distressed chicks out
