That's fantastic Becki, our's are due today but no sign yet, I know a watched pot won't boil but surely that doesn't apply to hatching chicks?

Good grief - you'll be overrun with chooks!

It was quite a success rate
|
Kathy
|
Good grief, that's a lot of chicks, did you hear them cheaping before they came out of the shell?

when they first come out they are freaky-looking things - like little dinosaurs.
And what Kathy said - lordy that's a lot!

We did here them, yes.
I have just been told on another forum that I shouldn't have helped them out of their shells. Mark did this. Last time we hatched some the success rate was poor because they died trying to get out. We helped this lot and most of them survived.
The 1 we didn't help has now died. We have quite tough egg shells here.
But they are alive and fluffy

nanny-now and forever

did all 13 hatch successfully then?
what are you going to do with all of them
that's almost enough for a commercial flock
you will be an egg magnate
better than being a fridge magnet i guess
(the old ones are the best)

We have 19 apparently but I am not sure on that number, I think it's less. They are in the brooder now, I will take some more pics tromorrow.
