Got this from another thread. Yep.

I LOVE this! It should be shared everywhere and posted in ALL feed stores.

The hatching. The weird thing was, that when I started taking pic, with every click click, of my camera, he would try to bust out again!, So after 8 hours of having the same cracks in the egg, I took a pic of it, and he started busting out, and was out in 3 mins!

Those are really neat photos! Thank you so much for sharing

Who knew baby Emu's were so cute? I loved "The Beast" photo too

Is it just me or is he quite the ham in photos

I just purchased a 3000 lums and I can finally say I can see in my CCL eggs!!! But you need to get the rechargeable batteries, BEST investment I made yet!

I have this one which is very good and I have the bigger one, same manufacturer which is actually better.

I just got my hands on the most GORGEOUS hatchlings eggs I have ever had in my incubator. I'm setting tonight as I don't want to compromise the hatchlings rates by letting them sit until 29th so I'll have some early easter chickens this year (april 14/15 hatch). Hope I can still join you in the fun on this thread!

Here' sa photo of my eggs - most of them are mixed. They are from are wyandotte, isbar, araucanas, isbar and maran/araucana mix hens covered by araucana, isbar and cream legbar roosters. I also have some cream legbar and isbar purebreds in there, but I have no idea how to separate the chickens when they hatch.

Good Morning all - Friday I got within a hundred or so posts of being caught up, and for some reason thought I would actually be able to get caught up and keep up yesterday. I was sadly mistaken. Had a busy day, sold some chicks, talked with some new chicken owners about basic care and feeding, welcomed them to the world of chickens (poor, unsuspecting souls!), did chores, and ran out of day! It's okay, it's a good kind of busy

Anyway, I had a nice Bantam Surprise hatch and we took pics of a few of the chicks, which I wanted to share. They come from a mixed bantam flock of Cochins, D'Uccles, Dutch, and Mille Fleur (and honestly I thought she meant Mille Fleur D'Uccle but she says two different breeds? Don't know - all I know is these chicks are freaking adorable). Last pic is a Silkie hatched from my own flock.

Hope your Sunday is the best!!!

(I just realized this had to be the most accurate hatching graphic image....its hatching from the wide end of the egg....but yet its still dry....LOL

My first hatch I was surprised to see the chicks come out wet.....LOL never hatching chicks before I was thinking they came out dry like how all the images seem.....ROFL)
Example:
