How many left to hatch Tasha?

 

Eight but some of those were the ones that broody abandoned so may have already been incubated and died when they went cold, I bought a super dooper candler the other day so will check once the bulk of the 'good' one have hatched

[WitchHazel]

Congratulations on your hatches so far. How's Gooey?

 

And where are the PICS?!

Congratulations they are so cute and well done gooey.

[Redwing]

Gooey is still, well, gooey he/she leaves the others to come and see me awwww (but it looks a right mess! )

 

I have candled the remaining 8 eggs and discarded two, the rest have a chance of hatching going by the guides on the internet I'm not holding out too much hope though

[moochoo]

Aaaw, they're adorable! What a lovely set of chickies. I hope gooey continues to flourish.

[ClaireG]

Awww more lovely

[The Dogmother]

They're lovely Tasha

 

I don't suppose that any of the araucanas are banties....?

 

Slip some of that Avipro you have in the water, that should perky Gooey up. Bless his socks

[Redwing]

I don't suppose that any of the araucanas are banties....?

 

 

Well they are very small but came from normal sized eggs so we will have to wait and see

[oneyolktoanother]

Awwww they are so adorable

[Lewis]

If it were me I'd give gooey a wash in some warm water, and pop him back in the incubator for an hour or so just to dry him off.

We had a chick with pasted vent that I washed and put back in the incubator to dry off and she's fine now

[Redwing]

I came down this morning to another chick!

 

I have named it straggler

 

I wonder if any more of the remaining eggs will hatch?

[The Dogmother]

to that small person. Better late than never!

[Cooks]

which type of egg did that late comer come from then??
