Ribh's D'Coopage

Chick number 2 is out.

She looks a lot healthier than the last one.
I was dubious.
When I checked the eggs last night the shell had pipped but the inner membrane was intact. No sound. No movement. I debated intervening but decided best to let nature take its course.​

She is a very pretty chick.​

Meanwhile, Wrold's Anixe is half grown & nearly as big as mum.​

Glad it's nice and healthy! Is there one more egg?

She really has grown. I really love her coloring!

She has another 2 that are not doing anything.
Anixe has some spectacular colouring. I thought @ 1st she was one of Cobweb's eggs but she has the Wyandotte yellow legs & dark colouring so I actually think she is Wrold's biological chick. Alpia, also a Wyandotte bantam, has much lighter colouring.

Have you tried to candle the eggs? I hope you get more. Any baby hatched from your flock is going to be stunning!

Such pretty colouring.
I think I have another pullet.
I know it's not 100% accurate but good last time. Long & short feathering on the wings & a stumpy tail. If that changes it won't be the 1st time I've been wrong. Plus She's holding herself low as pullets do.​

She's already eating & drinking. I am so pleased for Cobweb. She's done a long sit & kept her mind on her job.

Her coloring is very pretty. Can't wait to see how she fully colors out!

I haven't candled. I try not to handle the eggs. Besides there's nothing I can do if she quits now.
