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.

This really raises the excitement level on incubating eggs! Can't wait to see what he/she grows up to be!

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!

Here’s my update !
On Tuesday and Wednesday I had a silkie hatch. Had both the EE eggs pip yesterday and then left for work today came back on lunch and both were out one was fluffy so put him in with the two silkies that came out Tuesday/Wednesday! My final silkie is pipping. We lost one silkie during incubation so out of the 8 that went to lockdown 7 hatched! Going to give the egg that looks like a blood vessel might have broke? Egg looks bloody inside till day 25 which is Saturday then maybe do an eggtopsy

what I came home to today!

and the two silkies from Tuesday and Wednesday!

so far I have 2 black silkies, a grey and looks like a partridge !
the Easter eggers are both yellow so any guesses on their colouring?

Do you know what their parents looked like? That would help narrow down the possibilities at least.

Eggs have been given to the broody. I didn’t get a second australorp egg today but if she lays one early tomorrow I may sneak it in there. (They’re bigger than they look, it’s a duck egg carton)

I have no incubator and had no plans to hatch until reading through this thread and now I’m feeling itchy to try it myself! Gah!!! What do you do with all the chicks you hatch?? I couldn’t possibly keep them all, right?

Ok well I am in.... Broody style. She is a stubborn broody she has been trying for almost 3 months or might be over three months now. Next Thursday she will have at least 2 babies...
