Utah!

Is anyone here joining the New Year Day Hatch?
I think Cynthia and I are doing it together?.? I want to any ways. I've been hatching eggs for the past 2 weeks and out of 40 eggs only 5 hatched. 1 has only1 eye and a severe crooked beak. Its cute and its name is lucky lol. The little guy just wanted to live so I guess now I have me a special/ugly chicken lol.. I'm hoping my next hatch goes much better now that I know what to do and what not to.

Thank you Cynthia for ALL your help in this hatching egg process. Could not have done it with out you. Well maybe I could but its fun having someone hatch at the same time. I love lucky by the way lol. She found a soft spot in my being haha.
 
I have fertile olive eggs......



Dad is fbcm. Mom can be olive egger (fbcm/legbar cross) or blue egger (leghorn/ee cross, or ee).
 
Oh, those puppies are so cute! Must hide the pics from my daughter. She keeps begging for a dog.

Brian, any luck with any of the eggs I gave you?

Not sure if I will hatch for New Years. I have been hatching since September. I have 10 due Friday and 6 waiting to go in, and 13 in the brooder. Not sure what I will have by the 11th and shipped eggs are rough emotionally.

yes 3 hatched the other day and I'm guess they are pure buckeye. One has 1 eye and a crooked beak but he is strong and wanted to live lol. So his name is lucky. I will send pics in a bit.
 
Glad you got some! Sad about the little one though. Be super careful about older chicks around it. One that I hatched from shipped eggs stopped using one eye after a day or two. When I moved her in with the bigger chicks they beat her up pretty badly during the night. I had watched all day, they waited til I was not looking.

it has been doing great. If anyone should be worried its the other ones hahaha. Lucky is a very tough little guy and does the picking on the others lol.
