Lesley Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) Our chicks are due to hatch this weekend - nothing happening last night but we woke to find a lovely Light Sussex chick, just out of the egg, and another one pipping. We kept forgetting to candle until we decided it was too late and we would wait to see what happened....and 6 of them are really dark Welsummer eggs and they're difficult to tell anyway....so we have no idea how many may hatch.

Lesley Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 We had another LS hatch last evening and another by this morning - at least those 3 will have covered the cost of the eggs and electricity if nothing further happens.........no signs of any pipping on the others yet. The brooder is set up but three chicks will be a bit lost in it - I'll have to find a chicken mummy.....I've got a good old-fashioned mop head somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 We still only have three - but I'm sure there was a cheep from the hatcher - fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
