Lewis Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I wonder if any more of the remaining eggs will hatch? Hopefully One of ours was 1 day early, and one was 2 days late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Its a Maran, its living in a long sandwich box in the brooder at the moment as the others were trampling on it and pecking at it It looks fine though, full of life When I candled the others a couple of days ago they looked right for hatching so maybe we will get more yet, this one didnt show any signs of pipping or cheeping befroe we went to bed last night yet was up and running around the inccy this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joybelle Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 O Tasha I love reading your threads especially ones about your chicks. I wonder how you find the time to go to work with all your chickens and chicks to look after, and then there is the land you are renting, and all the animals you will eventually have on there!!!

Redwing Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 no. There are still 5 Auarcana eggs in the inccy that looked promising on candling The broody abandoned her eggs 4 days in so I put those in the inccy, they have developed so look good but I upped the humidity on day 18 so if these were a few days behind there is the chance that the chicks were affected by the humidity They will stay in till tomorrow The chicks are all doing well, they have their own 'igloo' in their cage ( a plastic guinea pig house) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Gooey is fine, I don't think I could tell her/him apart from the others now if it wasnt for the fact that it comes to say hello when I open the cage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 'he' might be a she .... how soon will you be able to tell Tasha? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 I dont know..I do know that Araucanas are hard so that will be weeks and weeks but some of the marans have tiny combs already, I could tell on day 1 with my Welsummer but I think these will be a few weeks yet I'm up the field building a run tomorrow so when they are older we will have plenty of room for them all, we will try to rehome cockerels with girls as pairs or trios but did get eggs from breeds we could eat just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
