In my opinion you can rarely ever handle/play with them too much! As long as they are not getting hungry/thirsty or cold, then handle away with them! I play with mine as much as possible when they hatch, spend as much time as I can with them (but the peafowl and quail are way more flighty than chickens, so I like giving them as much of an imprint as possible)

Thanks!

13 Silkie eggs...some shipped and some from a local breeder, 14 Polish Crested..from my chickens, 5 buckeyes from a breeder, and 2 Buff Brahmas! So excited this is the first hatch that I actually know what they are!

Polish crested anything like a polish frizzle? Noticed you are in Sequim - I can't wait to go to the lavender festival next month. I'm near Tacoma.

So I know I swore no chicks this year after, the abundance of chicks I had last year.... I was totally fine with that. My hens decided to be sneaky on me and a few laid eggs in a good hiding spot. upon finding these eggs and not having not knowing for sure how long they had been out. (My egg count had gone down about a week and a half prior, I just figure it was the heat)

I figured oh what the heck I will put them in the incubator and see what comes of it. I'm sitting hear doing my homework for my online courses deep in thought, low and behold what do I hear. Peep, Peep, Peep.... I honestly thought I had a few more days till lock down from my calculations. (I put them in on the 11th) So I had to hurry and make some adjustments to the incubator because they were in the turner. The chick is peeping away like crazy so hopeful it will be here soon as much as I didn't want to hatch out chicks this year, I can't help but get excited hearing them getting all geared up to come into the world. lol so much for getting any homework done. i keep running over to my incubator every time I hear peeping trying to catch some action lol

Hey how is everyone else doing ? I have been non-stop busy with baling hay here in Ohio. Wish I had more time to get on the computer.

I put 35 out of the orig 48 in lockdown this morning at 8. All have good aircells except one that seems a little small. Finger crossed. Best of luck to everyone on your hatches.
