Candles and locked down 16 viable looking eggs out of the 17 that started development
good luck in both batches!!I have 6 under a broody I need to check for viability at some point, and I might have 2 more going broody as they are camping in the nests tonight instead of the perches. I see how they are over the next few days and then decide if I want to give them eggs.
sorry about the losses, good luck with the others!May batch finally finished. Of 20-30 only 9 have made it this far. 4 had internally pipped and passed. The others werent formed right. And one of the 9 that did make it is in a chick chair learning how to use his feet properly.
Also i have one chick that has no stripes. Curious to see what it turns out like. The parents are rir and ee. Out of 24 chicks from these parents, this is the first without stripes.
THANK YOU SALLY AND MIKE!! These HAL's have me buried in chicks, but it's been fuuun! Thank you for all your help as well!
Thank you so much for the hatch a longs Mike and Sally! I had a blast!
Our May hatch went off smoothly
27/30 but lost the Last two later babies.
Started on day 19 all the colored eggs hatched firstlots of blue.
All lavender orps in hatched out fine.
Sold entire hatch except 1 blue, 1 blonde, & 1 black EE.
Good hatch rate tho.
Have to check onto a June hatch we're ready again.
oh no!!!!! I have no clue!!! something ate them up good! do you have a trail cam you can set up for a little to see what it is? poor things!!My aunt just lost most of her flock. She found pieces of chickens in her henhouse. She only has two old hens and two roosters left. Any clue what leaves pieces?
Thought I'd offer to incubate any eggs she can get from the older hens. What's the longest we can save them? 10 days?
cuties!!!!

Our little blue potential rooster, Minnie, was renamed Max. He appears to have barring on his wings, which means he's probably a Barred Rock/Ameracauna cross. He looks to have a pea comb and fluffy cheeks. Hoping he has a calm disposition if he is a cockerel. Would be an interesting mix to try to get some colorful eggs. He hatched from a brown egg, so maybe Barred Rock hen, Ameracauna rooster? Eggs were from my father in law's mixed flock of Ameracauna, Barred Rock, and Australorp.
This is our little blonde Russian Orloff, Bela
great images!!!
oh Shah!!! fantastic!!!
oh I am sorry about the poor babies shah, poor mamma ok? have pics?I forgot to mention that my doe kidded yesterday! Unfortunately it was a really hard delivery ( luckily the emergency vet at the equine hospital knew a little about goats and sheep) they thought she needed a c section but luckily were able to avoid it! But, 2/3 of the kids died. I am defiantly keeping the doeling that survived! She is worth as much as the vet bills (it's worth it) and of course I was out of town when this happened! I'll try to find a picture of her.
true story!! thanks Mike!

awwwwwwwI took this shot of my favorite little Silkie from the HAL with her favorite broody buddy. They are always together, silly things. The bigger one is a White Chochin. Believe it or not they are about the same age - the Chochin was hatched on Monday March 16th and shipped with 7 others from My Pet Chicken and the Silkies hatched here at home starting March 19 or so..
And this little sweetheart (a Red Splash Silkie, we are hoping) always knows where the best places are to hide!
