That’s so sweet! My 16 year old daughter and I do this as a joint project as well. I’m pretty sure that I will be looking back at these days with great nostalgia...lol, We're a chatty bunch! I love it though! Hehe.
I'll be the pessimist this time...something about the way it looks does make me think it may be a dud. Later in development, it's harder to tell because the veins recede much slower but the veining at the bottom looks oddly thin for a chick close to hatch. With that said, I would still wait and see what happens!!
So exciting about the pip!!!
Yep, with my last batch of CCLs they were the first to hatch by about 8-12 hours compared to my Marans but I do feel like Marans are on the slower side of things as well. This flock seems to have smaller eggs and from the very beginning, they were developing extremely fast so I wouldn't be surprised at all if I see some peeps on day 19 or 20!
Thank you! The Whiting's True Blue eggs that I have on lockdown are from the same flock as my blue hen but there was only one hen in that flock with the same coloring so I doubt I'll get a repeat! I'm expecting a possible cream w/amber coloring or black w/copper. We'll see! I'd love for them to all look different, my daughter and I name all chickens in our flock and we've had a couple of comical ones that were "the twins" because we just couldn't tell. LOL!
