The 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!!!!

Is this one chocolate?

Not if it's an Orpington. Chocolate Orpington chicks have a dark body and a white underbelly and fluff butt. Here's a picture of one:

Got the last of my hatch to the brooder except for 1. Was really sticky and legs were wonky. Got it all cleaned up and is resting in a cup in the bottom of a not full incubator.
What do you call a male showgirl?

I call them showgirls. I don't know if they have a special term.

We hatched 17 out of the original 27 that were fertile. one pipped and died within an hour not sure what happened there,9 still haven't pipped. Candled and 99% sure they are all late quitters.We are very happy with the eggs we bought. Hatched 2 barred Plymouth Rocks, 4 Rhode Island Reds, 1 Americana, 7 easter eggers, and 3 olive eggers. Total final count is 17!

I need to get a picture of my Annie she is a dachshund and is laying next to the chicks box, she is guarding her babies and dare any other animal to come near.

My little cup o chicken.

Sticky and wonky legs. But cheeping up a storm and starting to stand up. So maybe all for the good.

Not if it's an Orpington. Chocolate Orpington chicks have a dark body and a white underbelly and fluff butt. Here's a picture of one:i it came from one of my production reds, I think. Rooster could be orp, barred rock mix or EE

The first pipper hatched this morning at 900am he was on the wrong side of the egg too. He kicked and turned over another one that was zipping and he asfixiated.

The third hatched all on its own and happened in just a few just hours. The fourth is taking his sweet little time. 4 babies out of 5 isn't bad for a first timer. I have learned a lot. Thank you to all that helped.

BYC was down for me and when it came back up, it was stuck on an error php page

I took another video of the Delaware chicks in the Genesis 1588 incubator

Enjoy

Yes! I couldn't get on...just now getting on my pc.

One viable egg left. I'm kinda sad none of them have been Brahmas. I won't be able to get eggs anytime soon. I did find out that the white egg was an Andalusian and I'm pretty happy about that.

Here's the last one that hatched. Seems to not have a lot of fluff.

Bet it fluffed up really cute! Those NN's and SG's always look like that when just hatched.
