MGG's Hatching Thread!

The air cells are pretty good too. Some are just a bit jiggly, and there's one that might be detached. But it's a dark egg so it's hard to tell.

Beautiful eggs! I had 2 dark Marans eggs and couldn't tell anything really until one externally pipped. They're so difficult to candle

Thanks! The two dark ones are Penedesenca eggs I think. The seller said that the hen was covered by an Ameraucana, so they'll be Olive Eggers, but they should look really cool.
I know! The Marans in my last batch I didn't toss until lockdown when I knew for sure it was no good. It was so hard to see through though!

Oh my goodness, yes! How is she? Do you have any pics of her? Aw, the poor baby is so confused. Single chicks are just so hard.

She's doing OK. Still trying to figure things out. It's heartbreaking to watch her knowing that she's uncomfortable but I know that being around other chickens is what she needs. They're not hurting her and they're similar in size. Things are getting better but it's very slow going. I'll get some pictures of her this afternoon. She's big for a Serama. She's 18ozs but I love her adorable size and she's absolutely perfect in my eyes.

I... lost notifications for this thread!






Oh well...... Your chicks are so cute! @MGG

Same! It says that I'm "watching" the thread but no notifications in a long time :-(

agh that happens
have you tried unwatching it and watching it again? that sometimes works

My eggs came this morning!!! They were packaged really nicely, and are all fully intact.
They were in these foam tube things, and then wrapped in bubble wrap.
