OH! I have 3. Real special. Swore I would never get into small birds, but they are so evil that I couldn't resist. I still want a white one or two.
Post pics when you can.

well the final results are in I started with 16 eggs, went into the hatch thinking 11 of them were still viable. I hatched out 9 but one huge one died on my right after coming out of his shell so there are 8 alive.

This hatch although I got good numbers, I"m unhappy with how it went, I obviously had poor temperature control, because all the chicks hatched had issues with their umbilicus, one hatched with an unabsorbed yolk sac, there was a lot more blood in this hatch compared to my last. One has a curled up foot, although he has no issues standing and walking I think this is all temperature related because my thermometer crapped out at the two week mark

I'll be getting some pictures up
