Yes, the next generation has begun. I'm really excited!

I have not helped any of them. As a matter of fact, I have been outside. I came in to #3 and #4 fully hatched. As I was typing here on BYC, # 5 hatched.

With just one cross--they are hatching like that?

 

[kathyinmo]

# 6 has now hatched, and I didn't even see that pip. Still another pip that I see, and possibly 2.
Shipped eggs, hot weather ...... WOW, this is great!

The first five .....

 

[Germaine_11.20]

They are beautiful Kathy. Is one of them a slightly different color?

 

[kathyinmo]

Yes, that was the very first one to hatch .... it is a splash. The others are all blues. I thought black, but it was because it was wet. The splash would be from the blue hen she has. The others are all black hens, so they would make all blue babies.

 

[Germaine_11.20]

Oh a splash! I love that color.

 

[kathyinmo]

This is unreal .... unbelievable ..... there are 4 more pips! Can you believe this????

Those are amazing! I was considering getting a hold of a coronation sussex and breeding it to a white silkie. I SO want coronation silkies!!!

OH WOW ...... there is now a pip in the "original" egg. This one is not one of the next generation eggs, but one from Ozzie and Harriet (or their daughter) ! ! ! They usually need help, but I think this one is gonna make it out on its own. I will wait and see.
