Lesley Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 Yes, they were 'due' on Tuesday. Three hatched out on Monday - my poor son was midwife yet again - two more hatched on Tuesday as we were driving home............ I always miss it it One was having difficulty in hatching on Tuesday evening so eventually, I helped it and it is now fine. One more hatched whilst I was at work yesterday - I only work away from home on a Wednesday Most of the eggs which hatched are our own - the Ebay ones weren't a success. Two of the Copper Marans have hatched, but none of the Blue Wyandottes. I'll leave the eggs one more day then I will open the eggs - at arms length, outside, to see what happened. It won't have helped that the eggs were delivered and were on overnight delivery, but were due to arrive on the day we had all the snow - we had no post that day, so the eggs were left in the depot overnight and were freezing when I opened them. Then I had to keep them for a few days before setting them so that they hatched when we were here ( ) We've mislaid the USB cable for the camera - I do have photos but can't do anything with them just yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Paola, if i get round to sorting out 'broody housing', I will be hatching again this year - you and the little 'uns would be more than welcome to come by before Blenheim and see any chicks that I might have.

Martin B Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Quite an assortment then! I think the eggboxes look so cool. My customers really like the different colours, and the pink boxes are v.popular with my younger cousins, when my auntie buys them!! Do your customers like them?
