March Hatch-Along Thread- Come Hatch With Us!!!!!

Today at 9am was the start of Day 22 for me. They are actually shipped silkie eggs. I paid for 20...received 24 (and set 1 of my own as a "test" so set 25). I had 1 infertile at day 7, 2 quitters at day 10 -for sure blood rings not just big veins-they were nasty, 1 quitter at day 14, 3 quitters at day 18. Locked down 17...16 shipped and my test egg. Sad to lose some but AWESOME for shipped eggs! They came from SC to Indiana and the weather was so cold. They are miracles! Being my first shipped eggs, the anxiety has been so much worse for me! So relieved to have my first pip!!! Thank you for the encouragement! Here are some pics of last weeks hatch:

Oh my!

My lovely little 'Box-of-Chocolates' ducklings (various crosses of cayuga, saxony, blk swede and pekin and hatched Mar 18-21), were shown on our provincial news station last night - chosen as part of a weekly photo contest. Too cute!





This is another personal favourite. Love the expression!! lol




Just had to share with the only other people I know that would appreciate this!! :)

Love them... So cute!!!

Well, at last check I have 3 barred rock eggs, and 2 easter egger eggs externally pipped!! And from what I could tell, 2 more easter eggers internally pipped!! They are all resting now... if they wait until tomorrow to hatch that will be day 20. They're a bit early... but so long as they're healthy I'm fine with that!!
