I just saw my second pipYAY! It's starting!
is that normal for only 7ish eggs to be fertile-ish? Out of 15 eggs? Just checking.....
Love that top picture!I came home to 4 chicks!!!! So 2 more hatched while I was at work and I see a few more pips... 2 of my blue eggsand both of my other mutts.... No pips in any silkies yet
It is so hard to get a good picture of the chicks in the incubator.....but here is my FAVORITE picture of the day.
So the one that looked like it was splashy turned out to dry into a little chipmunk!!! So these 2 must be my frizzle cochin silkie cross ...
as my cochin bantam is black ..... and so are the 2 new babies!!!!
I just saw my second pipYAY! It's starting!
Yeah her bones are too far gone... I tried making a bigger band aid splint and she kept falling over.... I took it off. I had been watching carefully as I think this one had spradle leg right out of the shell but I fixed it and she was fine.... totally fine ... for 2 - 21/2 weeks ... I almost feel like she slipped her tendon or jumped and it popped out or something ... but I have NO IDEA how to try to manipulate it and I don't want to hurt her.
So, the BBS Orpingtons are at day 7 today and we candled again after hearing the support of all of you. Thanks again. 4 confirmed embryos, and 3 possibles... some have darkening yolks..... for the most part we're pacing ourselves. thanks guys.
