chuckmum6 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) My broody has now sat on her three eggs for 18 days now, when I turfed her out for a drink and poo, I had a sneaky listen to her eggs. It was hard to hear, as the father to be was crowing his head off, but I could definitely hear little scratchy sounds inside! So I guess they were pipping and will be putting in appearance soon. I did think my boys would be getting chicks over the Easter weekend, but it looks like I will need to get my Garvo chick feed tomorrow!!!!

chuckmum6 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 First little chick is out , only just, the other two still in their shells but both now have broken through. I will get pics when the hatch is over. These are our own stock all Wyandottes, but only one is a pure pencilled laced, the others are a silver laced and a blue laced crossed with pencilled laced (dad), don't know what they will look like!

chuckmum6 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 2 out now, the second it still wet and the third is busy pecking, I had a quick peek under Doily's wing and managed to get the first hatched chick to come to the front, so a very quick snap with the camera .............

chuckmum6 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Thank you, mum is a sweety and quite happy for me to have a look at even a little hold! All now hatched, the last one is wet and wobbly as it's just hatched, the other two are starting to poke their heads out from under mum I will post pics of them tomorrow when they are all fluffy a cute! My boys have loved watching them emerge over the day, I can't wait to sit out in the sun tomorrow and watch them in the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
