I will in a few hours when they really get active right now it's eat, drink, and sleep where they were standing.

It's fairer later when they've had more rest and get busy.

Haven't lost another poult so it looks like that number is stable. 14 BR poults all together both hatches and 9 Calicos. And six eggs still in the bator. Not a bad first real hatching season.

Never mind how many of what kind of chicken. LOL. Between Ione and I.... OMG. And then she just blurts out that she now has pheasant eggs. I am sooo doomed.

Guinea eggs coming this week. Bwahahahaha

I had that happen to three of my chicks over last week also. Hatched eggs and no chicks. I spent a couple of hours modifying the pen I had my broody hens in last night so that chicks cannot walk threw the wire. I also put two more broody hens and 22 more RIR and BSL eggs in it.
As fore the ducks, they had a nest under the chicken nest boxes and I am pretty sure that this may have happened to some of her young ones. All six eggs that my wife put in the bator yesterday hatched last night! I will try to get a pic up this evening.
Couple more days to go on the shipped eggs.
Congrats Walkswithdog on an outstanding hatch!

I am going to finish my coop, which will have broody sections and then I will know if one of the sitting hens is killing or another. If they disappear when separated I will know. Then all I will have to do is weed out the culprit which will not be that hard after separated.

My poor little white hen just wants babies, so I may move her to the baby coop and let her sit once more. If she will after being moved.

2 1/2 days to go

More importantly..... don't give baby chickies beer!
Beer + Chickie babies = BAD

By the way..... anyone pipping yet? I go by the bator about every 15 minutes and talk to the future babies. "Come on babies, come out and see the world!" But they aren't listening yet.

 

[EricShane]

Im really really pushing myself not to get around the bator much today, if I can.. lol.. but, no.. no pips last time I checked..

 

[EricShane]

Theres a little tiny crack on the very top of the egg - I wasnt planning on taking out my turner until late tonight though.. because, I put my eggs in realy late at night.. but, I think im gonna take it out right now..
