my first frizzle has hatched...woo hoo !!

babe · « **on:** May 23, 2007, 22:29 »

my bantam pavlova has been sitting on 6 japanese bantam frizzle eggs for 20 days today.
she threw one out a couple of days ago.

the first one hatched early this evening, one has pipped and the other three are tapping and tweeting, i am not expecting to sleep well tonight.

i bought the eggs from ebay so wasnt expecting geat results , so i am absolutely over the moon. as its my first attempt to hatch eggs and pavlova has been the perfect broody for the job.

and i will go back to this seller for any eggs i want in the future

i will put a picture up tomorrow if everything carries on well

Congratulations HV! I've never hatched my own chicks, it must be a lovely feeling!!! Okay, I know Pavlova hatched them, but you know what I mean!!!!

i was up and out there at 6 am this morning. to find two teeny fluffy chicks. one yellow and one grey (so sweet)

the other three are tweeting loudly in the eggs and just starting to pip.

pavlova is taking it all in her stride and happily munched a few strawberries for breakfast.

i never thought chickens would be so much fun and so addictive.

all five chicks have been munching on chick crumbs out in their run today with pavlova.
they had a little trouble getting back in their coop, so i made some nice big steps out of cd cases. didnt know what else to do. so sweet seeing them go in and out.

OHH WOW CONGRATULATIONS THEY ARE LOVELY

I have given up hope of mine hatching she is so erratic with them if I do get any it will be a bonus and a miracle.

Think I will have her in the garage when she goes broody again so I can totally control her movements.

More pics soon please

hi slowef, dont give up, especially after all the bruises you got trying this time.

i really never expected any chicks, as its my first time trying to hatch eggs and i'd bought them from ebay.

its been a very long three weeks, and i feel like ive camped out down in the chooks garden for the last few days, but its so been worth it. seeing them come out in the run today and eat and drink was magic.

i even went and bought my own digital camera today so i can photograph their progress. im off on holiday next sunday and sad that i will miss two weeks of them but shall be leaving the camera and asking her to take photos when she comes in to look after them.
love k x
