Who is pipping and waiting right now??

pbjmaker, I am so sorry about your little silkie

That is always hard to take.
I'm waiting on Welsummer and Marans due to hatch in 2 more days and Sweetgrass Turkey eggs in 5 days.

:aww Oh sweetie... I'm so sorry. I like to believe that there was something wrong with the chicks in that case that they wouldn't have lived a quality life if they HAD hatched... makes it a little easier to accept. I lost one too - must have quit just before pipping because it was perfect... don't know what might have been wrong. But you do have one... what color?

The other one just escaped his confines. He is a cochin from a pen that had blue partridge, blue, black, mottled and splash. So far his head and tummy look blonde and his back might be blue. He also looks like he has that "eyeliner" stripe in blue.

Maybe I'll blow dry him so we can see his colors better (JUST KIDDING)

I just really want a silkie to hatch - in the middle of the night I woke up and my gut said "Go help" but I didn't. I only have one other silkie egg in there now another cochin and a showgirl. Then I have about 10 frizzled cochins from dipsy doodle in there that are actually due on Saturday.

Here is a picture of the new guy. I actually got a half way decent picture through the glass - it only took like 10 shots...

Hard to tell when they're wet, but looks like you might have a mottled or splash there!

I wish I had some silkie eggs to send you right now, but I think my little girl just went broody on me...

But if you want some eggs in the near future, you just let me know, ok?

2 heritage cross turkey babies (eggs had RF pencilled on them-these are from Porter-- red/royal fire? red/royal flame? this is an assortment of Porter's experimental colors and crosses so who knows what I'll hav!) hatched and 5 or 6 more pipped and/or rocking-- this is in my homemade worm-bator, and then in my r-com20 several pipped spitzhauben and brabanter eggs, yay!!!

go peepers!

I have 19 coturnix eggs in the hatcher for a client, 3 have hatched, and there are pips in just about every single one.

Help! Today is day 19 and last night I had 1 pip before dinner and had already zipped by the time we were done eating! lid popped off and there she was! She is now out of the shell but is still damp.

How long does it take for them to fluff up? My humidity is at 63% with a temp of around 99. Should I remove her and put her in the brooder?

I just found another zipping away! Why are they so early? I had carefully planned for them to hatch on the weekend and the little stinkers are going at it when I have to go to work!

I may have to get sick and call off--hee hee

These are all shipped eggs and I tried candling but had no clue--so any success is so exciting!
