Beautiful, hope it's a pullet, if not, you save that roo for breeding!

Did you get any Blue Wheaten from Kat's eggs? or all Wheaten?

Haven't a clue yet. They're feathering in SO fast but not feathered enough yet. . . They're only days old.

Although I must say, one of them is FAR more yellow than the others. . .

I need to just take a drug and walk away from the incubator.

3 hatched,

11 pipped.

This is really nerve racking.

No surprise, we expected this! It is just a good thing you plan the hatch date around your day off!

Now, just leave them alone! They are fine! Remember that great hatch you had last time? This will be equally successful!

I so hope you are right.

The last one was so tired that it just lays there on top of the other eggs. I hope it makes it. It's not fluffing out very quickly and they other two are getting antsy.

My hatch started out great to my surprise and left me calm. The first chick was SO calm, quiet, sleepy, and dried out really fast. She ? was also very curious of me too.

It was the second day that killed me.

- When you find that nothing hatched all day except for the three you had to manuallly help, . . . Things aren't looking great.

I bet yours will go along just fine though.

#4 just popped his top.

#3 is still just laying there... I wonder if it will make it.

#1 & #2 have been out for over 18 hours, They go in the brooder in the morning... pray I can keep the humidity up


12 pips in the hovabator... some of these have been pips for 18 hours with no progress
2 pips in the brinsea

who knows where Gladys Knight is?

You're worried about this? Seriously my Wheaties from Kat took up to a day to zip, just as any of mine - About 5 hours is the minimum.
