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

[Razadia]

Well, let's take a guess....

The buff colors could be....Orpintons, sex links? Do they have little chipmunk markings on them? Maybe even RIR's.
The blue with that yellow areas on it..will probably be splash in color later on. Pretty! I love me a splash.
The blue..a blue Orpington? I don't see puffy cheeks there. That dark red..think RIR for sure. Is that a black baby too..boy, what a colorful bunch..let's see..a Black Autralorp? I don't see a spot on it's head, so not a barred rock. Black sex link? There are my guesses.

The buffs with no stripes are orps. Some of the blacks are Jersey Giants. Dark brown with cream stripes are Partridge rocks. One I know is a GLW and I think there may be a SLW in there. There's a RIR, but he's lighter in color than the dark red with no stripes. I think the one with the yellow wings and red down the back is a buckeye. The rest I have no clue.

im not sure if im imagining it because i want to hear it or what....but i swear im hearing peeping....let the hovering begin.

I'm right there with you. But now I have the first external pip.

Today was day 18 for me. I didn't lockdown due to being busy with the new chicks and over all just being a nut.

Not likely!

Quote: There all still adorable puff balls. My BIL called them cotton balls with beaks.

ive had the worst luck with my splint today. i thought i could go around without my crutches and hop around on one foot and i fell in the yard. i took a shower earlier and wrapped my foot in a bag in attempt to not get it wet and the splint is all wet. i just went to check on the eggs and hopped on one foot over to the bator and fell yet again. i keep hurting myself by not using what i need....LOL but when i use the crutches i trip

well i have to call the doctor tomorrow anyway because of the wet splint. yay.

So Im pretty bummed. Every day while turning my eggs I couldn't help but feel they din't feel as warm as the eggs in the other incubator and also they didn't feel like they were getting heavier for days I thought nothing of it but last night I decided to candle again. So, much to my sadness I found quite a few stopped developing and all the others are soooooooo far behind on developing that I have serious doubts about any in that incubator hatching at all. The temp has got to be way off and too cool for this to happen. I turned the bator up by almost a degree and I might go up a tad higher today. I really need to get a battery but the nearest target is a few towns over, I think I will try Walmart today, thats closer. This incubator is full of mixed breed eggs, so at least all my Cream Legbar eggs were in a different incubator and they are looking good so far.

I guess that's what I get for not getting out to the store to get a new battery for my spot check thermometer

I could really kick myself, I think one of you needs to give me a boot to the butt.

I have been away all day, sorry to hear about your hatch, those CL hybrids are very cute. At least the Cream Legbars are going good. Maybe it's time to get a Brinsea! and "set it and forget it".

P.S. I posted my Legbars pic on the Legbar thread.

Well hell! I accidentally dropped all my Sermas eggs all cracked didn't notice but the one. One did peep but died. I am so ****** at myself! They cost me a lot and they were bur four days from hatching. Ah! I could just kick myself!

I'm sorry.

Please be more careful. Use the crutches and go slow, things will wait for you.
