Tis Time for a March 2020 Hatch-a-long!

[baby-blue]

We went to RK. RK had goslings.


I now have goslings.

So, I do one last check on the eggs that aren't doing diddly squat before throwing them out, and low-and-behold, one of my silke eggs had pipped on the wrong side of the shell. I don't know how long ago it pipped, but in my haste to make sure it had a good clear breathing space, I must have hit a vein. Baby is now out of egg, no longer bleeding and still breathing, but So. Much. Blood. If it pulls through this will be my little miracle chick. And it's blue, which is the color I really want...

On a happier note, these are three of the savages that hatched out yesterday -

9 chicks out of incubator and 1 duck. Still have some hatching.

This is what hatched

 

[two j farm]

16 chicks and 2 ducks. 4 chicken eggs didn't hatch and 1 duck didn't make it pass pipping. 1 chick is still in the incubator after helping it out this morning from pipping the wrong end of egg. The 2 bigger ducklings I got from TSC.

I still have to catch up the last 10 pages. Was dealing with some freshly 'hatched' babies. ;-)

I woke up to 2 new babies. A Black Birchen Marans and a White Ameraucana. Lots of pips. Another wrong end pip. Progress on the wrong end one from yesterday. Things are moving along.

The bantams are scared of the duckling

I think it's so cute!!!
