November hatch-a-long

[BuckeyeFoodie]

Alrighty then, I figured I would get this one rolling - because I am impatient and haven't divided my colors back up yet, I have 10 mixed-color Silkie eggs in the 'bator, due to hatch 11.08....

Our pekin bantam has been on a Muscovy Egg for the 35 days, and yesterday it finally hatched for her! We are so excited to add another baby to our small farm, especially another Duck~

I'm hoping this is the place to add this

Chickaletta has gone broody again so today I picked her up from the nest box and put her in her own coop set with 11 of my own eggs (mostly hers) I had sitting on my bench (hopefully fertile but I guess I'll find out in 10 days when I candle)
She near flew out of my hands when she saw the nest of eggs I set for her! I put her down beside the nest and straight away she tucked them in under her and sat. My gorgeous 6 yr old silkie is the best mumma hen, I love watching her with chicks in tow!
Not sure about 11 eggs though she covered them fine it looked like, the most I have put under her is 8 and she hatched them all, as she has with all her hatches.

Look how sophisticated this chick looks

I’ll have to set up a photo box and get my good camera out but how cute

I have 10 due on the 2nd and unknown amount due on the 8th! Going to candle those either today or tomorrow and find out all silkies

These are the Nov 2nd batch (just some) Silkies and EE

When I return from retreat I will be picking up eggs. I'm going to keep the breeds a secret for now until they are actually in my possession. Struggling not to buy an incubator until I know the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals.

A little late to join this HAL, but I had a mystery mix chicken hatch this morning.

I get a csa package delivered every other week which always includes (fridgerated) eggs and decided to stick a few of the eggs with appealing shell colors in the incubator while I had quail going for the Halloween HAL. One from a light colored (maybe slightly greenish) shell actually made it all the way through development.

A little update: I haven't hatched anything in about a year so I'm setting up my dinky little still air incubator! I have a few chicken eggs I'll add from my girls and their fancy man Mister GG(barred rock/ee cross). I'll be setting these (and a couple more) a few days before the quail eggs when those come in. Fingers crossed for Easter Egger babies!
