Ye gods Maureen, are you trying to set a record for slowest hatching 
What with Nicos A&D me and now you black and white is definately the in colour for babies this year.
Come on Di, more picis please. Did you see the updated ones I added to Festhers a daddy? Most of them had a cuckoo maran mummy I think. The welsummer thats in (dont ask, she fell in love with Festher and I couldn't keep her out, lol) there lays nearly the same colour eggs so its hard to tell.

I helped one to hatch last night and although it's alive and cheeping and scrabbling around it doesn't seem to want to stand up. Yet another one has pipped too and there's definitely movement inside the shell. Although I'm really tempted to help this one too, if there's going to be a problem with the chicks that hatch this late (a week overdue!) then I think really I should let Mother Nature take over. A case of head over heart I think
yesterday 1 pipped and was cheeping like crazy. Unfortunately it didn't hatch and I found it dead in the shell this morning 
But ............................... another one had pipped and tonight I've seen a lovely fluffy little chick under Mummy 
Day 25 for goodness sake! There seems to have been a few late hatches recently, does anyone think the weather has anything to do with it?
