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

[Bantambird]

14 turkey eggs and one cream legbar egg at lockdown. I'm lucky I have an acrylic clear door on my hatcher. I get to watch!

I had 2 more questionable eggs, one more questionable than the other. But the rest looked good. Air cells look a little small on a couple of them, but not horrible. One saddled, but it looks good. And the egg with the A/C on the wrong end is one of the 2 that has already drawn down.

Let's go chickies!!!!

Thank you Pyxis and Uglyfoot!!  That helps.  But I'm also still wondering what the difference between a Sizzle and a Frilkie.  Is it just which parent is the Frizzled one?

I've been working with the groups trying to get sizzles and frilkies into standards
. For the sizzle it should be a silkie in every way except that it does not have silkie feathers. It is either smooth feathers or frizzled feathers.
A frilkies should be any chicken that has feathers that are both silkie and frizzled at the same time.

3 more hours until day 20. I guess someone was in a hurry to leave the egg.

I have my first baby ever! And another pip. He or she is all over the other eggs knocking them around. That is OK at this point right?

we have a chick out! Cream leg bar pullet (I am pretty sure)

Yes it's normal for the chicks to be tumbling the other eggs around. As long as the pipped beaks can't get stuck in the incubator grill its fine

aighgzzz = eggs

Maybe I better resort to proper spelling. 

I knew what you meant...
