July 29th Hatch along..anyone due for a hatch around then?

[sheila3935]

Out of a dozen eggs 2 never developed I got 6 chicks. 3 quit and 1 fully formed but didnt pip or absorb yolk sack. They are barred rocks and BR/BA mixes. I was hoping I got some NN eggs in there but didnt. I had 2 leghorn eggs from my neighbor but they quit at about day 10. I didnt start out to hatch these but I had a barred rock that thought she was broody. Sat on the nest for 4 days then decided it was too hot

so I finished them in the bator. first 2 hatched Friday went into lockdown Thursday the rest hatched yesterday. They are all happily in the brooder.

Almost done w/ day 22- I'll pitch the non hatchers tomorrow night. Have had 5 more silkies hatch out- no other Tolbunts so far

So far have:

2 Millie Fluer D'Unccles (no more eggs- they hatched on days 18 & 19)

8 Silkies (2 blue, 3 splash, 2 black, & one ???) (5 more eggs to hatch)

6 Tolbunt Polish (4 more eggs to hatch) They are tuxedo marked- but have more color variety than I thought on the non white areas-
3 black, 2 blue, 1 reddish blueish brownish one

On a sad note had one of the Tolbunts died over night- one of the blue ones

Of course they should be the black/reddish tuxedo- not sure why 2 were blue........ hmmmmmm

Still have the 6 GL/ Tolbunt Polish due on the 4th as well.

Sweet- I'll leave them in til the 25th day then.......

I cheated & candled 2 of them-

can't see movement- but can make out feathers & feet & small veins...... was seriously wondering if there was a way to open them myself without hurting them if they happened to be alive still.

They were only out of the bator for a couple seconds each- so..........

The 6 Gold Lace/Tolbunt eggs still to hatch are only 1/2 Tolbunt (1/2 Gold Lace Polish)- not sure how they will look to be honest. The auction was cheap ($30.25 for 6- she sent 12) and with it being a differant line of Gold Lace than ours, and the Tolbunts coming from a differant breeder than the ones that have hatched- figured it was worth getting them to cross to this batch.

Between these Tolbunts, the GL/ Tolbunt crosses, and mom's GL Polish- I figure I have lines to play with for a few years

The one that died was one of the last 2 to hatch (yesterday)- they don't move around alot at first- so the fact it was laying around didn't seem strange. Last night before bed I switched them into a larger brooder because the smaller one seemed crowded & this Tolbunt seemed warm & panting. I was watching them, noticed this one kept staying under the light (everyone else stays off to the side of the direct light- or running around in the area away from the light) The light is in 1 corner of the brooder (both brooders) as the room they are in is warm (rest of the house is a/c'd), they have 90% of the brooder out of direct light in the bigger brooder. When I picked it up to put it in the bigger brooder- I noticed I could HEAR it beathing. I think it must have gotten fluid in the lungs (or not gotten all the fluid out?)

What is the latested you've had a egg hatch?​

Congrats everyone on your hatches/hatching's! I've been down with a pretty bad neck/back pain.
All of my Reds' made it but one..that was a few days ago. Had two Nankins hatch Sat. and Sun.
Now, my last to hatch that I split with someone today because I'm still down more than up, is the barnyard mix. They are in lockdown on Tues..hopefully will hatch Thur.and Fri. I gave 10 to my friend...and I kept 6.

Sounds like everyone had something hatch..even if it was a small hatch. That's great. Love the pictures. Those polish are cute..and those silkies are a pretty color!

Congrats on yours too!! Sorry about chick that didn't make it- that is too bad.

Hopefully you'll start feeling better- neck/back pain sucks!!

Does your doctor have you on muscle relaxers as well as something for the pain?

Soon you will have more babies to brighten the day!!!!
