feemcg Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Lovely...now they'll start clambering all over the other eggs and turning them over, then you can't see the ones that are pipped . Remember don't be tempted to open the incy, the other eggs need the humidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 How gorgeous . Do you have to leave them all in there till they've all hatched? Can you not handle them for a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 That is a bril video and just showed my son ..great congratulations..v exciting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Exciting I left the video camera balanced on top of the incubator when we were hatching quail, and managed to get quite a few hatching. Good luck with the remaining ones, you'll soon have a house full of neighbours and friends coming to watch the chicks hatch all standing round the incubator in silence *cheep* "Awww" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa33 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 That is fab Jules. I really wish I could hatch some. I won't though as I have no where to take the boys. Keep posting lots of piccies though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules. Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 We have 3 chicks now, with another 7 pipped. We've popped 2 in the brooder as they were clambering all over the newly-hatched chick. They are doing well in there. We have been sat all afternoon watching them hatch, & I am exhausted now Visitors so far have been B who I'm sharing the hatch with, my friend R & her son B & my mum. R is calling back later, as she didn't get to see a hatch yet. The incy is a See Cube, from Wheatcroft Poultry. It isn't mine, it's B's.

The brooder has the 3 older chicks in it, it is a purple tub trug and is in Ethan's bedroom He will be sleeping elsewhere till Wednesday night The older chicks are lovely & fluffy now, & we have given them cuddles, ANH. Pics to follow when I have brought the ( now damp again ) washing in, & tidied up the garden 3 boys have littered with toys. With the help of eldest son, of course.

Jules. Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 3 more hatched last night!!!! But one was in a terible state: it was covered in blood, couldn't stand and had something hanging off it covered in blood We decided it would be most humane to kill it as we could do nothing for it. Today we have had 2 more hatch- both while we were at church so we missed them so now we have 4 in the incy with 1 pipping and 7 in the brooder the two that hatched last night will go in the brooder later on this afternoon. hoping for more to hatch today- wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
