UPDATED-PICS-Yeehaw I can join the Hatching Craze I have an Incubator

[Kat's Silly Chickens]

There's finally pipping on 1 of the Mille Fleur eggs so I'm guessing it'll be hatched soon.
Will update as soon as it happens.

Well I got 6 Mille Fleur eggs, Mallary has been losing her Silkie eggs. They keep seeping clear liquid (I'm guessing the egg white) but that's what happened to the 2 of mine here and 1 Mille Fleur eggs did the same thing. What could be causing this to happen? I hope the 2 Silkies that hatched here are hens, I don't want to give up another chicken.
These eggs I picked up have some peeping going on and Mallary said they should hatch in a day or few.
This gives me more of a chance of getting hens.
I'm going to pick up more (some RIR and others) after these hatch, but I'll take them over to her as they hatch.
I like the idea I can help her hatch out her eggs/chicks.

Major peeping, 3 chicks are pipping, 1 of them is nearly thru the egg. The other 2 have small holes so should be soon also.
This is great!!!

and they will all be raised in the outside coop, except the roos they will go back to Mallary to help increase their flock.
Dad's lung Dr said we need to put the inside 1's out in a nice insulated coop, it's bad for his lungs having them inside. That finally convinced Mom that having even ornamental chickens in our sunroom isn't a good thing. We will be turning the inside pen into a nice insulated coop. Yeehaw no more taking them in and out for fresh air...

No peeping so far today, but I have the 2 Silkie and 3 Mille Fleur D'Uccle out with Bar-b. She's such a good mom even tho they aren't her breed of chicks.
I'm going to candle Melody and Goldie's eggs today to see if we have any fertile and growing.

Good Luck with your incubator & hatching... it is a little nervy but exciting... Can't wait till I start my first batch next week with my homemade bator...

 

[Kat's Silly Chickens]

I had to make a little brooder out of a tote, I almost lost my 3rd Mille Fleur earlier, Bar-b went out to get some exercise and the littlest 1 got cold. Brought it in and put it in the incubator to warm up, and it was back on it's feet in no time. While it was warming up another Mille Fleur hatched. I never even heard any peeping, but it hatched

a little bit ago. I have 3 of them in the brooder and the new 1 is still in the incubator. Good thing they are such tiny chicks, I can keep them in this tote for a few weeks til they are better suited to being out with the big birds.
The 2 Silkie chicks that were born the end of March are doing great, they're about ready to be out of the nest cage more often with Bar-b, Que, Delwyn and Elwen

.

@brimstone555 Good luck with your batch and bator, I got a Little Giant 9200 but it works Great.

I now have 5 Mille Fleur in the makeshift brooder (on my bathroom counter) 1 hatched yesterday but was not as strong about moving around. But after it dried I put it in with the other 4 and it's up and running around like a little champ. They range from 12 days to 1 day old.

 

[Kat's Silly Chickens]

I have 8 fertile Sultan roo/BT Buff Jap Bantam hen eggs in the bator that will start hatching 4/23, and 4 that are to recent to tell.
I still have 3 more Mille Fleur eggs also nearly ready to hatch.
But for some strange reason our Sultan hens eggs aren't being fertilized. Don't know if she won't let Sunny mate her our what...
I'll keep updating as the chicks hatch,

Well no new hatches over the past 3 days, but I candled the eggs on the 18th and they show fertile growth.

Patiently waiting
