Valentine's Day Hatch!!!

[Illia]

After my terrible temp spike that lasted hours, I hope my chicks will still make it - They're due tomorrow!!!

ARGGGG! My chicks rolled my EE egg that was pipped over and somehow the chick in the egg turned weird and suffocated. I want some chicks from my only EE! I have only hatched 2 from her ever and she will be 2 years old this spring. The one in the egg was a beautiful silver color with its yolk totally absorbed and everything

Have you ever tried using the egg carton method? It keeps all the eggs in their place I hear. This is my first hatch so I don't really know from personal experience.

I currently have one zipped about half the way out and two more pipped. I can see its fuzz sticking out thru the cracks! I think five out of the six that are left are b/b/s orpingtons and the sixth is going to be a RIR/orp cross

How did your coronations turn out Koger?

I have done the egg carton method in the past, but am out of cartons lately. Here are some pictures of the 5 that hatched. I think the ones that are left are no good but will leave them in there until tomorrow night. The eggs were all from black copper and wheaten maran hens with BC maran, wheaten maran, wellsummer, and least likely a BLR wyandotte roo running with them.

The first to hatch - should be BCM (but no feathered shanks - need to find out about that)

The two blonde hopefully pure wheaten marans:

I think the blue laced red wyandotte did sneak in a turn with the girls - this one has a pea comb:

The worlds tallest chick ( I am thinking girl because even though she is tall she has very delicate feet). Also could be pure wheaten: ETA: My son just told me its because she is a super model chick - must name her Tyra!
