It's lockdown day for the 5 mystery eggs, should be hatching on Sunday! Will be fun to see how they turn out, I'm tempted to go any buy some more from there this weekend...

My other light sussex has gone broody again, I'm not sure what to do with her. Last time she crushed the eggs while they were hatching, she's such a big, heavy bird and I don't think the bedding in the nest was deep enough.

Can't decide whether to give her another go on some eggs or not! I wonder if something with thicker shells might be better for her, my ducks have started moulting and stopped laying so I can't use them.
Has anyone on here tried hatching turkey eggs under a hen?

I have one freshly hatched chick! No idea which egg it came from. I don’t want to bother her until all those eggs are hatched. It’s day 20. This is my serama hen. She bit at me this morning (she’s never done that), so I knew we were close.

Found the shell. These will be small chickens that like to sit on high perches. Lots of color and possible cheek fluff.

Two pips from my second set of eggs that were shipped into me from Maryland. Two that look strange and have me arching my brow because of how much I can see in them tonight that I couldn't see in them last night.

And because we can all use some cute

My Maryland eggs hatched. I got 8 out of 9 hatched.

My chicks are one week old today! Their wing and tail feathers are coming in, some faster than the others. I'll be out of town most of this coming week; I probably won't recognize them when I get back!

We are on day 21 also, lots of movement the last couple days, and now nothing.... We are hatching silkies though, and I think I've read that they seem to take longer then the normal 21 days. I dunno.... out of the 11 eggs set, only 2 were viable.

Sometimes the rest for hours after internal pipping .
