[hypnofrogstevie]

OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is great!!!!!!!! Congrats to you. Please keep posting pics of your wheaten/copper blue crosses. I am interested in how they develop.

I am trying to decide what to buy today. I am worried 20 isn't enough, but with hatches that good........maybe that would be enough.

Those babies are so so so cute!

Holy Toledo! That's a great hatch!! Now you are going to send me those White Orp chicks, right????

 

[zchickens]

Thanks for the offers, but I think I will keep the bator and the chicks

Here are some more pics...

The one really light blue chick, only one - splash maybe?

One of the blue chicks

One of the white orpington chicks

One of the black chicks

And then there is this......

What the ??

...how did those 20 brabanter eggs get in there

I am not addicted...really....

It takes more than one hatch to break in a new incubator, doesn't it????????

Also, I need more than one hatch to prove it is better than my old top hatch, don't I????

Hmmmm......only five more days until I get to candle the eggs on day 7

I candled one egg today, and it showed definite development

I will wait until day 14 to check again. Hopefully, there will be few that show no development

why you hoping for a bad 1?

Since the are shipped eggs, I would be shocked if they are all fertile; as shipping usually takes some toll on the fertility of the eggs. So that is why I stated it as I hope that only a few eggs will show no development, as I don't think it is realistic to expect that all of them will show development....

By the way, how is the first hatch going so far in your new sportsman? Couldn't sell my DW on purchasing that large an incuabator....grumbling something about how she didn't want this house to become a chicken factory...
