After a long struggle with my first hatch (9 failed, then added 5 more) 1 out of the 2nd set of eggs (5) pipped last night. I really didn't want to go to bed. I had to work today, so to bed I went.....
This is what I woke up to in the morning
:
I've got some better pictures now, but my phone died- can't upload them yet.
As for the chick's parentage- I'm not sure if mom is a g sebright or a gl Wyandotte banty. Dad is either a drk brahma bandam or a buff brahma bantam........
She's got dark legs w/ feathers, black all over except a whitish patch on the throat & a white butt. Anyone wanna guess parentage? I'm hoping GS X Dk B bantams.....My two sweetest birds!
This chick is TINY! And alone. Poor thing is going to be spoiled by the time my BCMs hatch in 2-4 days- they she will have friends & will be a bit bigger. Right now I still have her in the incubator w/ tiny food & water dishes. She's eaten & I've showed her where the water is a few times, but haven't seen her drink.
