The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[gevshiba]

I have a pip! I'm stuck at home, rather than the agility trial, due to ice, snow and freezing rain, so now I have something to do instead of cleaning the house.

This thread gets a good bit of traffic.. I think I've dealt with this once before but just can't remember how it went. Is there any chance of this self-correcting or do I need to intervene? I don't want to open the hatcher as others are zipping.

Keeping it dark in there so others don't take notice.

It should self correct, I believe it is just part of the egg yolk that still needs to

It should absorb the rest of it. I think it is yolk, but I could be wrong. I would wait & see.

LOL I would rather clean the house and check on it every once in a while to see how far it is advancing.

I would let you come clean my house and check on the hatching progress. I'm nice like that.

K here u go:
First up 2 full feathered NN( in other words didn't get the Naked Neck)

Then 5 from the same run Blue Copper NN rooster. These have the naked neck

1 blue and 4 black.

Next these six have a a Black Jersey Giant dad and the moms are 2 Red Duckwing 1/2 Easter Egger and 1/2 Production Red.
And possibly a GENN (project NN that lays a green egg):

The next four are from the same hens I had another rooster in with them that I had sold about 2 weeks before, so I thought they were probably cleared from him, but guess not. He was a Wheaten Duckwing Splash 3/4 Naked Neck and 1/4 Easter Egger. No naked neck.

Now these two are from the Orange Barred NN run

No surprise a barred and dark red/brown that will be most like orange barred.

Last here are the only two left of the Easter Eggers, someone came a bought the other 7 that hatched last night.

The others had one that looked like these and the rest were either blue or black.

theyre so lovely! congrats!
when they are full feathered, does that mean they are still considered NNs? would that go the same for frizzles as well? my frizzle hatch got a smooth and a frizzle, so is the smooth still considered a frizzle?

The ones that turn out full feathered, no nit considered NN. They'd just be crossbreds. They ( the hens) usually make good layers. They also can be bred back to NN for more NN and crossbreds.

The drizzles on the other hand I don't think if they're not drizzled no I wouldn't call tge drizzled they however carry the drizzle gene.

The NN if they aren't naked necked then they don't carry the NN gene.

So I am getting some Wyndott (spelling?) Cross and some americauna (spelling?)? Cross eggs for sure. And might get some Orpingtons from someone else. I am still looking for more eggs. I want to fill my egg turner for once.
