RichardandFamily Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hi guys just thought I would post about my daughters new chicken adventure...Hatching Eggs! They are a bit of a mix Rhode Island Red Cockerel and either a Silver Sussex , Bluebelle or Copper Maran hen. Lets just hope they hatch and then we can see what they look like! 6 eggs went in on the 1st of January so it should be around the 21st they should all hatch.

craftyhunnypie Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Very best of luck. I presume you have candled them by now? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Snap! I'm incubating for the first time too. Twelve eggs from a mixed bunch like yours and six Cream Legbars. Mine only went in last Saturday, I'll be candling tomorrow and with any luck some will hatch on the 31st. I am unbelievably excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 How fab!! we've hatched two lots but used a broody hen as I haven't got an incubator. Fingers crossed for everyones hatchings, there is NOTHING in this world as fantastically exciting as going to check the eggs and hearing that cheeping noise! Pictures will be expected from everyone Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Good Luck! I hatched some Quail last year, and my auntie has just been round looking at the videos of them pipping. I want to hatch some more now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
