Julie? You're talking about the name on the eggs, right? I have a Charlotte, Gypsy, Nora, Snow and June. Bet it's June. Great big egg would be hers.

1 more Barred EE is actively zipping.
1 Amanda BR is actively zipping.
1 Meg egg - OK - I helped. I poked a very small hole in it and now it is pipping away.

As of 2:45 pm , here are the stats:
MEG - 2 Hatched, 1 Zipping
BEE - 2 Hatched, 1 Piped but died
BR - 7 Hatched, 2 Waiting - candled and nothing moving, once Meg's last chick is out, I will most likely check these two further.

So best case, I think I will end up with 12 chicks out of 16 that moved to the hatcher out of 19 that started developing. Another great hatch.

So Cynthia - Can you sex the Barred Easter Eggers like you can the Barred Rocks? BTW - Number 2 I think is going to be black also, but I am cool with that.

 

[speckledhen]

Well, sometimes I think I can sex them the same way. But the headspots are rather fuzzy and hard to see.

Hey, Ed, is the hatch over yet? Hope you have a couple more babies to report!

 

[ThreeBoysChicks]

Yeap it is finished.

MEG - 2 Hatched
Blue Orpington - 1 Hathced
BEE - 2 Hatched, 1 Piped but died
BR - 7 Hatched, 2 never pipped, fully developed but never pipped.

The last MEG egg had not done anything yesterday around lunch, so I poked a very small hole in the top to make sure it had enough air. It then pipped about half way around the egg. I finally removed the top. It then struggled for hours trying to get out of the egg. In the end, I pulled it out around 5 last night. It was so tightly packed in the, it was no wonder it could not get out. It slept all evening. I left it in the hatcher alone and this morning, it is a beautiful Blue Orpington, not a sign of brown on it (no Meg like colors at all), so I think it is actually from one of your blue girls and not Meg, but hey, I am cool with that.

It does have curled toes, again I think a symptom of being so tightly packed in the egg. I have put some Band Aid splints on its feet and it is getting around better. I am keeping in seperate for another day to keep an eye on it.

Cynthia - You need to start a thread of Meg's babies..... You start with a picture of her. And put a picture of Suede up there to. We can never have too many pictures of Suede. Then everyone who has her babies can add pictures of her offspring.
