chick wiggle Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Mine started wobbling and chirping just before they pipped! Exiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grracee Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 With my first hatch i seem to remember noticing them moving around the 18 day mark, when i took the dividers out & stopped the turner. It's great! Mine are due to hatch a week today, stop turning them on tuesday, so excited! Good luck with your hatch by the way! What breed are you hatching?

I have got silver duckwing welsummer,green legged partridge and silkie eggs!!

grracee Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Oooh lovely! Willow looks stunning! 6 definates out of 10 is good! I set 12 eggs, 6 Lav Orps and 6 Gold Laced orps and have candled and only have a definate 5/12 which is abit disappointing, but saying that they were sent through the post, so it's better than nothing. I'm happy with 5 better than none at all! 2 Gold Laced & 3 Lavender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
half dozen Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 I love Nutmeg my gold laced Orp,she is the bottom of the pecking order out of ten!! And is slowly getting her tail feathers cos the others pulled them out, but she is placid,inquisitive and loves having a cuddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
