There is chirping coming from my eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NutterlyUts]

And i'm both terrified and excited!!!!!

Watch this space I think!

(Today is day 19)

Oh that's brilliant - very exciting. I had one hatch on day 20, loads on day 21 and then three on day 22. Fluffy chicks in the morning I reckon.

aw how exciting

Oh how exciting!! Please post some pics

Will do. As soon as one starts appearing i will try to get pics and if not, will get em the moment they move into the brooder when hatched

Then the fun and games of Id'ing breeds can begin

Any news?

One silkie chick (black) out, another chick looking like it'll be soon and some just pipping

A foster mum I guess!

are they in an incubator or under a chook? how exciting.

Pics here

i think s/he is partridge not black? silkie

group pics

black? silkie i think?

a random yellow chick.. pass on which kind it is!

There are more still pipping/in the process of hatching too

How many are you incubating?

18 went in the incubator and i broke one candleing (luckily unfertile)

Glad it's going well. The yellow ones can change colour dramatically when they get feathers, so you'll have to wait and see!

All my yellow chicks this year have ended up a pale reddish brown.

The non silkies in the incubator are light sussex, white and black marans and light sussex x rir so the yellow chick is one of those (unless I got ebay specials and then who knows!)

How many have hatched now?[nosey/excited emoticon]

I now have 5. 4 silkies and the yellow one. I think i have a white, a black and two partridge silkies but I'm not 100% on the non black one! Also have another silkie in the process of pipping. Will grab more pics tonight
