Griffin Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Today is probably a bit soon to give her the chicks ... and it means you get 2 batches of chicks! I know, isn't that just terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAJ Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 24hrs would be still considered 'normal', so we expect no. 1 out by lunchtime and then the others to get the message and be a bit quicker as we are all waiting. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Number one is still quite happily chatting away to me through his little hatch but I'd rather he popped out so I can see more of him than his beak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chick wiggle Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Awwwwwww, we wanna see, we wanna see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Awwwwwww, we wanna see, we wanna see Just wait until it is all fluffed up and has friends to join it in the brooder - it is very difficuly taking photos before they are out of the incy and you do not want to remove the lid and change the humidity just for a photo as that could impact on the others still hatching. Chick wiggle you have all this to come! My 18 various hatching eggs should be here Tue/Wed, so I will get incy started Thursday - followin gthese has got me excited already!

Griffin Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 There are quite a few rocking about in there and plenty of noise from unhatched eggs. I'm wondering if the very cold weather we've had has slowed them down a bit. I noticed when I candled them the first time that at least two eggs looked a day or so behind the others in terms of development which I thought was odd but left them in anyway and all 11 that were fertile have continued to grow.

Redwing Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 so exciting! come on chickies! My eggs were late hatching, I think that was weather related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hamburger number two and the cuckoo have made a bit more of an effort with their holes but still seem content to keep us all waiting. I've run out of milk and biscuits so Mr Griffin has kindly stopped off at a shop on his way home from work so my tea drinking can continue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
