Scott, I answered on your thread. It's like a big bubble floating around inside, not a dark shadow like the yolk would have.

My Del baby's are 4 weeks old and doing great do any of you that hatch at home give your birds any kind of vaccine?

 

[speckledhen]

I have never vaccinated my birds for anything, so I won't be any help.

Hi EVERYONE- There are so many things that have happened since I last posted!

Scott- those chicks are so cute! Great job !

Jeremy- Iam glad you got your eggs. You asked when you should set them. Let them rest tonight. And put them in in the morning, it is personal preference though. You also asked about the humidity, Ca is very humid right now. I wouldn't put any water in now. When you put the eggs in , it will bring it up automatically. Then on day 18 put in a little to bring it up around 55%. Good luck!


Camille- I can't wait to see pictures of your bill braden line. Oh, the chicks that I hatched out are so cute. And they are all starting to get their wing feathers in. I will take pictures of them again soon. Thanks again!

Cyn- I know exactly how you feel. I just had to get rid of a rooster, who I really liked alot. But I persevered and found him a great home. I just got an email back from the new owner and he said that the rooster just fit into his flock of hens wonderfully. He was so happy with him and so were his daughters. He said he was very thankful and he loved how friendly he was. So, it can work out. Follow your gut feeling though. It is a good indicator of warning flags. I hope you find a wonderful home for them.

All the chicks are doing great! I will post pictures later, but for now I have a long awaited Vegas Vacation to get to!

Oh, I don't vaccinate either.

Took some pictures a couple days ago, these are the current hatchery Delawares that I have (Plus a few extra girls of various breeds.).

Fluffy butts!

Their hackle feathers seem a little dark to me.

This is Frank, my Cuckoo Marans rooster. He's a big softie.

More fluffy butts... I think the Buff has the Delaware beat.

Apparently camera parts taste good...

Jeremy- great pictures! I don't know about the hackles, but when you look at the colored SOP, the hackles are pretty heavily marked. I think it might be more important that it's the correct kind of marking, and not the Columbian marking. Cynthia or someone else will be able to answer that better than I, but I think yours look pretty good! I am so jealous of all your GREEN that I could spit!

 

[Cetawin]

Great pics Jeremy and no camera parts do not taste good....Delawares are just nosey and must taste everything. I have so many pics of my Cannonballs face because she is constantly sticking her face in the camera.


Cyn, I am glad you are happy with their living conditions and can feel sure they will be taken care of and provided for well....beyond that, it is merely the heart strings that make it difficult. ***hugs***

 

[speckledhen]

Jeremy, your girls look pretty chunky. Some of the hackle markings and tail black are better than the others, and I see extra comb points, but overall, they're not bad.

Here are some of my youngsters from Bill Braden eggs. They are around 19 weeks or so. I'm expecting them to start laying anytime now.


Tarzan

His girls' chest shot.

Jane

Kala

Diana

Here are some of Buddy Buddy's kids.

Oh great, I get to babysit again.

And Lil' Buddy

Lil' Buddy is huge! Well, for an 8 week old I think he is. He's lots bigger than his siblings, that's for sure. I can't wait to see what he looks like a month from now.
