baby #2 just popped out!

How many babies do you have this morning?

Quote: I've got 3 this morning. 1 has spradle leg, got his legs splinted together. 2 are zipping in the bator, 1 pip and 3 still rocking. My humidity dropped last night to 44%, not sure why, that's the first time this hatch that it's dropped like that. I checked the ones that are zipping and they still look to be very moist inside, so hopefully they're not shrink wrapped. If they're not out by probably tonight I'll help them. They're chirping away inside the eggs tho!

Do you have crested & non crested? I'm not sure how to tell on this them at this young, but the 2 that are dried have very fuzzy heads!

I sent these 2 pics to Greenfire farms to see if Bear is a SFH. I'm starting to think, no, he's not. But he's still super cute!









Here are the 3 Little ones that have hatch so far.
2 face - beak 1/2 black 1/2 yellow (i'll get better pics once they're all out and fluffed)






I worry this one won't make it, his legs are splinted, he has spradle leg and his neck was swollen. He's scooting around the cage, but he can't hardle lift his head up. We'll see what happens!

One of my. Hicks was spraddled, and she is doing pretty well now. Hope yours does as well.

I've some in the past spraddle, but this one looked like it was also having trouble breathing and lifting it's head. When it came out of the egg, it's neck was really swollen too. We just got home from the water park and it was dead in the brooder. I had a sneaky suspicion that he wasn't going to make it, but I tried.

Good news. When we got back I had 2 chicks in the bator. Now all that's left is 4 eggs (those poor eggs have been knocked around from the little chicks since Wednesday.) I'll check them here in a bit when I get the 2 chicks out, I'll also get out all the empty eggs.

Does anybody need a cockerel ? I hatched 3 boys for every girl. I have about 8 extra boys some are crested some are not. I can ship. Once it gets cooler.

How far can you ship?

Pretty much anywhere. I don't know how to post pics from my phone on here but I can email them. I also have some Swede polish mix pairs. we have a polish hen in the Swede pen. Don't worry the Swede kids have yellow legs and the mixed have slate blue. Basically look like Swedes with blue legs and a beard.
