Pretty sad that I am...maybe a problem with legs on one???

See there. All that worry for nothing.

Looking good. Good luck with the rest. I have about 40 in my bator, and about 12 are pipped this morning. Got up at 4:30 a.m. (often can't sleep) and they really haven't made any progress till now -8:30 a.m.--but I am assuming they are resting, and will fly into it again in a little while.

Maybe someday I will be as calm as you. It would sooo cool to hatch out 50 eggs!!!!!!!!!

 

[skeeter]

are your sexlink bred to another sexlink or back to RIR,I have some RSL X BO,they will be a week old tomorrow
congrats,such a cool thing hatching chicks

 

[karri25]

Skeeter I bred my rsl's to a rsl roo, who is gorgeous I might add. The babies are too much! Two are very red and the rest are yellow or yellow with red parts. I would like to see pics of yours. I bet they are pretty!


Ok I went ahead and cleaned up the bator a bit b/c it was GROSS! While I was cleaning it my friend and I candled Dipsey's eggs. 5 out of seven are growing!?!?!?!?!??!? The last two were from 125 and they didn't look fertilized. Pretty good for shipped eggs hunh???? One more of the sex links just pipped too! Also we candled the last of my original silkie eggs and it looks like I might get two more if I'm lucky and I'm feeling lucky

I am getting offline now to clean my kitchen and get ready to go. Kepp your fingers crossed that i'll have some beautiful surprises when I get back home!!!
Oh and as my silkie dries out it looks like it might b ewhite. Do white silkies have black skin too??? It's feet are almost all black with some small white parts. Other than that it has it's cone head and feathering on all of it's feet. Want to help me name it???

 

[arlee453]

yes, white silkies have black skin too.

Congrats on your hatch and fingers crossed for the rest of them to arrive safely!

 

[karri25]

THank-you but what a bummer. I am very happy that the little on eis here and safe but I was hoping for all blues or splashes. Oh well, when I breed QT to her we should have some interesting kiddos

 

[karri25]

I have one that's been out since early this morning who can't stand. It also keeps rolling over on it's back. My freind had one who could never use it's legs, is this what I'm facing??? I hope that I ma just worrying but all of the others can stand just fine. Also when I try to stand it up it's legs seem very stiff. I am nervous about leaving now but I have to. Do you think it will be ok until ten tonight???

ps I have another sex link and another silkie pipped on a lighter note

 

[jenichick]

[karri25]

Have I read somewhere that you can tie their legs togethre to fix it? I might be making something up I just can't sit by and let him....

 

[jenichick]
