Title: Latest hatch with a photo :)
Post by: twizzel on June 17, 2014, 10:37:47 pm

My White Campbell eggs hatched today and yesterday  :excited: as with my post below it was touch and go with one of them that pipped at the wrong end, needed a lot of help and then was very weak but is a million times better especially now his splayed legs are being fixed!

Here's a photo of 3 of them, total is now up to 8 with 2 left to hatch  :excited:

I'm a photographer so might actually try to get some proper photos of them outside on the grass if we have another really warm day. Would make for an epic picture all lined up in a row!

This is the first hatch from my lovely White Campbell trio that I bought last year. I hatched a few khaki campbells out a couple of months ago but these guy are something else! Not the easiest of hatches but out of 15 eggs 10 hatched which I think is fairly good, my most successful hatch to date :)

Lovely. I tend to have very low expectations then I'm not disappointed ;)
I hatched some wyandotte eggs a few months ago - 5 cockerels & 1 hen :chook:  >:(
