Jules. Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 It's an Indian game- destined for the pot I've been to see them today- 4 have hatched, 3 of them are Marans ( & I've been promised 2 of them ) and the one Indian game one. Out of 6 Maran eggs & 6 Indian game eggs the hatching success is going quite well. One Maran is in the incubator & has been hatching since yesterday and so B will make the decision what to do with this chick this afternoon, as if it's not doing well he will want to end it's suffering. I picked up a Maran egg which is starting to crack slightly, & I could hear & feel the chick moving inside the egg- how cool is that? He thinks a couple of the Indian eggs are infertile, & so hopefully will get 9 healthy chicks from his 12 eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules. Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 He does take good pictures but the Flickr person isn't the one who has hatched the chicks though- it's his son who has done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
