Redwing Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 Funny I was calm about it at the time and was only worried about the eggs and chicks!

The Dogmother Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Goodness, just glad that you and OH are OK. Eggs can usually manage with a bit of cool that late in the hatching process. Are all the chickies warmed up now? Reminds me of a friend who brooded a wee duckling in her ample cleavage after his Mum abandoned him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 We have one huuuuuuuge white chick out (already has a comb so probably a boy) this will be a table bird (stan is dad and hybrid table bird is mum) The spawn of stan and the French Copper black maran is hatching - if a girl it will be a lovely dark egg layer if a boy it will be another table bird Three other 'table bird' eggs still in there Two precious barred Wyandotte banty eggs in there too but showing no signs of life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I know I can't say they're cute if they're going to be table birds ... but I bet they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 its very sweet Lewis, as I left this morning it was pecking the Marans egg and cheeping at the chick inside who was answering I did get a few pecks through the pipped hole though so I hope it doesnt hurt the chick inside but it was pecking very gently and curiously rather than agressive When anything in the inccy cheeps the month old chicks in the brooder answer too, its like springtime in our kitchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Even if he's dinner, at least he will have a wonderful life up till the last second. Hope they all start soon. At least that's better than you feared earlier on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
