Who is pipping and waiting right now??

[ozark hen]

so sorry pips...and I want to know too, as to how you tell the sex of the sebbie?

FINALLY I've got one Wheaten Marans out and several more pips in them.

Well Katy, I know how you feel. I am sitting here on my hands waiting for my silkies to hatch. I need some encouragement from the board to have PATIENCE. I do have one that has a little more than a piece of shell out.

Then I have one that has had a little "slit" in he top half for about 6 hours. Darn.....come on babies..........

 

[Katy]

It's hard to have patience....I know!

 

[ozark hen]

Woo hoo Katy

 

[MissPrissy]

Yaaay, Katy!

It's not 100% but usually sebastopol girls hatch with very dark backs. They boys are usually a nice yellow color.

I wonder if Peachick has some pictures.

I'll be there next week. My first wave of eggs go into the hatcher on Monday!

pips&peeps :

Waaahhh

My little sebbie died in the shell. It was a she also. I took her out to see what was wrong as the humidity was high and she was not stuck.

Her yolk was absorbed, but it looked as if her abdomen muscles, etc did not go inside. I guess she was not meant to be of this earth.

The next one has pipped internally, so I guess I can focus on it now.

sorry to hear about that. Hope the next one is better.
