My hatching eggs and their countries game

[gimmie birdies]

I will get a pic of the chicks out, (after my coffee this morning.) The 3 (pretty ladies group eggs, Silky mixes, USA) that hatched were from a different farm, than the others I tried to hatch (wyandottes), none of the other countries made it.

I currently have 17 from and even different farm, (all have been local) on day 8 they are also from a fridge, but I got them before they were in the fridge long. (Spin the wheel group.)

*Hopi I helped the top part of the egg, and Ieft her in the lower part. She was really sticky. I brought her egg in and warm washed her sticky head, but she was very weak. I put her back in incubator, and she made it out of the lower half more but then gave up. (died.)

sorry Hopi didn't make it.

Here are the 3 that did, with George. George was the smallest, but is now caring for these 3.
Black chick to the back- Comfort. Black chick to the front Colleen. Gray chick to the back is Matilda.

Ok, so they are just hatching eggs, I did get them from a friend who lives 10 miles from me. She has wyandottes (blue) hens and some wyandotte mixed hens. They laid these eggs...

I know they are fertile, because they weren't refrigerated, and they have a bunch of roosters, their roosters are BLRW, and wyandotte mixes, as well as Isbar, and BCM pures and mixes.
I thought I would do something fun with the eggs, besides hatch them and since they were a combo of wyandotte (Native American), Isbar (Swedish), and BCM (French) I thought I would divide them up between the 3 groups, (even though all the eggs are the same,) and we can celebrate each group. (I am related to all groups so extra fun for me.)
First group below is...Native American group...Since wyandottes came from the NA name Wendot, I gave them NA tribe names.

Cheyenne, Sioux-we will or can call Sue even if a boy... Wynnie short for Wyandotte, and Hopi- we can also call Hope.

Below we have the representatives for the Isbar group...The Swedes...

Elsa, Freya-yes, Freya is a Swedish girl name also, Erik, and Alex- For Alexander Skarsgard.

And last but not least we have the French...

Margo- I know the French spell it Margaux, but she didn't want the teacher to pronounce her name- "Margo-x" in class, in front of everyone..., Pierre- no giggling, Marie, and Louis.
They are going in the incubator.
Just incase you were wondering they were $6 for the doz.

This can be like the Olympics, wave a flag for a country, America, Sweden, or France, or wave at a certain egg you have a crush on, or cheering for.

That's awesome

I’m so sorry about Hopi!

Awwww, George is being a nice big brother! That’s exciting that they are part silkie. I can definitely see it in them.
Matilda has such a pretty color!

Well looks like I missed all the excitement. Yay for Colleen and Comfort(my picks!) and Matilda too of course. They are all darling.

@gimmie birdies How are the eggs/chicks today?

 

[gimmie birdies]

Doing good. The weather was warm, so I raised their bulb up. George has taught the pretty ladies to eat, and he is looking for a way out of the brooder box as 2 week old chicks do.

They are starting to feather. Matilda's feathers are getting so blue!
