One noisy chick!

[Snadger]

Set twelve eggs and they were due to hatch yesterday...........nothing........yadda..........give up the ghost. Checked inccy this morning and a single little yellow ball of fluff was chirping at me!
He/she's in the fishtank brooder now and is a reet little noisy divil!

[Nicos]

S'cuse me Mr!!!!!!

...how can you talk of yellow fluff balls and not post a piccie????



Aww...what breed??? (fingers crossed for the rest)

[MaureenHall]

Fingers crossed that more hatch for you Snadge, one little chick on their own always makes more noise than a few of them together (well in my opinion anyway)

[Flummery]

Wonderful. Do you name them? Racket might be a good one!

[Glutton4...]

Noisy little wotsit is lonely!

Piccies, Snadger, Piccies!!!!!!!!!

[petal]

Oh, hes lonely!

[cotton54321]

getting even more impatient now waiting for my bantam to go broody

[Snadger]

Make that TWO chicks......another hatched this morning! First one was a day late and this one is two days late..............will there be any more? I think not!
I reckon Sid mut be firing blanks though as five of the eggs were from his harim and none of those hatched.

Sill determined to get some offspring from him so I've got another 10 eggs from his harim ready to go in inccy!

Once I'm absolutely certain that no more are going to hatch, I'll try and put a few piccies on!

It may not be Sid's fault. Have you broken the unhatched eggs to see if there is/was any development? Did you collect from all his hens or just one or two? You might have just been unlucky and picked eggs from a hen he doesn't cover very often - they do have their favourites after all.

What ya sticking up for Sid for?...........I thought it was only me who did things like that! Lol

Sid has a harim of 5...........I get five eggs a day...........five eggs from one day went into inccy!

Like you I have a soft spot for cockerels. I only keep the amount of hens I do to keep the cocks happy!

Well, you have a point, but see what the second sitting brings. You may have more luck then.

[Snadger]

Sid wasn't firing blanks!

I checked all the eggs that didn't hatch and 8 out of ten were fertile but only two hatched.
