thebdj Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 My first chick came out live on EggCam about an hour ago and has since spent the last hour causing absolute carnage in in the incubator. All the neat little rows of eggs I had have now been piled into a huddle with nothing clearly visible at all any more! But I forgive the little mite! I am so excited I've nearly wet myself and the amount of people I have around all sorts of companies watching this at the moment is hilarious. My personal favourite is a broadcast to a 52" LCD screen in a major financial house in the City of London. Apologies of the stockmarket dips today! I am SOOOO excited Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 thats funny Congratulations on the hatched chick, lots more to follow I am sure, how many eggs do you have in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebdj Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 14 eggs. Had 3 lots of 6 fertile eggs and 14 candled successfully. Of the remaining 14 I have seen 13 wobble at some point, giving me a good feeling that they have a chance, and now 2 are out and wandering around! 5 Lavendar Araucanas, 4 Black Bearded Silkies and 5 Gold Brahmas. 2 Araucans are currently recking the joint Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saronne Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I remember that well with my chicks. The first one chirped away and hurled himself around the incubator bashing into the remaining eggs. Sounded like a bad game of table tennis!

thebdj Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 They are proper little menaces. Thrashing around and trying to wake up all the others I am really really hoping one of the silkie eggs in particular hatches. It was just so so small, I have never seen anything like it. A real bantam egg! But it's been very lively the last couple of days wobbling! Maybe these two little pests will wake it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
