July Hatch-a-Long (including 4th of July hatch-a-long)

Well 1 quail egg is externally pipped the other 3 are internally pipped so looks like Sonic will have some friends.

Ok...so I know this isn’t this right thread for this but I know we have a lot of experienced chicken owners here! 3 of my chicks have these little lumps near their wings?

not sure how long they’ve been there as I don’t hold them all every day. today was the first time I noticed them. They are all happy and free ranging, eating, flying running etc. Any thoughts what this could be?

I have 3 external pips on the quail eggs!!! Sonic should have siblings later today!

My 3 pips from yesterday all hatched - 1 right before I went to bed and 2 over night - 2 Mille Fluer d'Uccle and 1 Pyncheon. I woke up to 3 more external pipes too.

Are they all the same breed that have this lump? I can't say that I've noticed seeing that before.

Sonic has a friend and is scared of it

I came home to 2 of the 3 new morning pips hatched (a Duckwing Phoenix and an Olandsk Dwarf). 1 new morning pip and 2 unpipped eggs left to go.

Yay I have duckies!!!

had one that internally pipped, and then instead of externally pipping, shoved itself into the air cell and died. but these 5 are ok, with just the magpie egg left in the incubator working on hatching. The one blue with its mouth open looks like it has a malformed, blind eye, but all things considered, I’m counting this hatch a success so far. 7/7 made it to lockdown, and looks like 6/7 will hatch, so...

Out of curiosity, what is the cross? I love me some silver chicks.

The father is a Dominique and the mother a Production Blue. So 'silver' is technically not in their genes I suppose. But still pretty!
