Me too Mike, here she is finally in the brooder. Walking, well actually running across the bator at times, so in she went with these two..who are scared to death of her. I put them there for a photo, but they took off to the other side when I was done. Funny how they are usually afraid of new comers at first. This baby keeps calling to them, but they are staying away for now. Hopefully by tonight they will get brave.

The color makes me think girl. Because mom is a Sex Link. So, with the color being a buff and not white, that is promising..plus those wing feathers are long on the tip. Funny thing..no green in the legs but the comb is a pea comb!

Sorry about your one, sure am glad these made it!

And for the guess on the frizzle/smooths? I guess that in the first photo, the left on is a frizzle.

Ok here is my hatching and eggs progress

4/15 hatched, one zipped but then stopped. It's still alive, but I think the membrane may have hardened on the exposed areas. I'm planning a rescue in a bit.

Here are pictures of the other 10 eggs. If I could get input on what may have gone wrong or if there is any hope left for any of them that would be much appreciated!

Bought from a seller on eBay, eggs shipped from Oklahoma Monday, arrived in Alaska Thursday. Set Friday April 22 due May 13. The eggs were set in a Little Giant 9300 Styrofoam incubator, it had a fan. I had my brother make an egg turner, but at one point the control arm hopped off of it's rail and dumped some of the eggs out and later it quit turning for a few days. The temperatures fluctuated badly going between 98f to 102f on the plus side I don't think it stayed at the extremes for a long time. The humidity went from down to 16% and up to about 60% I tried to keep it around 45%.

All of these pictures were taken today, day 23.

1. White. That is a huge air cell!




2. Tan/light brown. This one for sure has nothing in it, into the trash it went.

3. Dark brown. This one looks promising


4. Light brown

5. Olive. I can't see jack sh*t! I couldn't when I first got them either.

6. White. The veins and blood spots do not look good



7. Brown. Another one I threw out.


8. Olive. I couldn't really see anything.

9. Olive. I can actually see the air cell in this one!

10. Dark brown

Glad you still have the 4! Cute unusual things!

I'm sure they'll warm up to her.
