My hatch-Chicken chicks & new silkie cross chick

[Farmer Kitty]

they look so alone in their new brooder.

I have the bator going. Hopefully, , I will get a good hatch this time so I can solve that!

They are so cute! What breed are they and how is that second hatch going?

 

[Farmer Kitty]

They are mixed mutts. My original flock was Black and Brown sex-link hens with a Black sex-link roo. I still have some of the hens and the roo. Last year I hatched chicks from them and kept some of the pullets. The chicks are from them.

The current hatch had 6 clears and 11 blood rings that I took out this last weekend. The rest looked good. I have changed rooms as I think a temp fluctuation that was to big is what happened to the last hatch. I set 44 eggs last time. This time I set 45. They are due the 26th.

Oh, how fun, I think we will be hatching together. My broody is due the same day.

I candled and pulled 6 eggs. 22 left in the bator for Tuesday hatch. I've upped the humidity and locked the bator down. Now only time will tell.

You know, you are really making me want to order some eggs to hatch!
Of the 6 jersey black giant chicks a friend gave me, only 3 are left.
