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

[Mylied]

I caught one hatching so I was going to enter it in the hatching contest but now I see it has to be in the incubator to count. I can't get pics in my incubator. I'll just share my pics with you all.

Does it have to be in the incubator? I think some of them are outside with broody hens so it should be ok! Great shots!

Well it said don't open the incubator to take pics. I think they'll know my blanket isn't a broody nest. Lol. It's alright. I might catch one of my broodys eggs hatching.

So I thought I would try for a St. Patty's Day flare for the pictures and they were all over the place and not having it. I'll try again later, lol! But here's the result.

I just learned a lesson about myself, lol. Last night I was fretting over the side pipped Sebright egg that I had performed a tiny assist on, worried about the eggs that didn't seem to be doing anything, discouraged that the Birchen pip was still minimal, and that the other Birchen egg had done nothing yet.

This morning I found that the Sebright had hatched, the pipped Birchen egg was zipping, and the other one had pipped. The Ameraucana had hatched, as well as an EE that had shown no pip before I went to bed.

Note to self: the world does continue to turn when I leave things alone and get some sleep, lol.

Here is a pic of the first 5, all fluffed out in the brooder. Upper left is the frizzle OE, the other dark one is an EE, the other 3 are the Ameraucana chicks.

What kind of sebright?

The auction was a barnyard mix and just listed Sebright hen(s), with a booted, bearded, Bantam Mille Fleur rooster. Here is the chick. It is my first bantam.

Not sure what it'll look like. I have gold ones

 

[BluebirdHomestead]

11 have hatched so far. 7 hatched after I went to sleep so I'll have to try to figure out who's who.

Someone had a little bit of a bloody navel but they're ok.
