Yay! Finally hatched!

After 21 long days, the wait finally pays off!

First signs of pipping through the shell...

About 20 minutes later I find this!

What is it? lol

A chicken perhaps?

21 days... that must be nice. I dont have anything that hatches in under 3mos, and most take over 6! LOL

I've kept chickens in the past, different breeds. Have been considering it again recently but i'm stuck between that idea and keeping ducks instead, decisions decisions... Good stuff.

I vote for ducks... I love ducks...

 

[Andrew]

I know what you mean. For some reason it feels longer when you're hatching chickens, lol. My alligator lizard just laid a big clutch of eggs, and those take around 2 months... which is still short compared to critters like chameleons.

Thanks,

Hi,

Yeah we've got some Veiled cham eggs incubating in the shop at the moment, 3 months so far, plenty more to go

 

[PseudoDave]

Andrew,

What kind of incubator did you use for your chickens? Was it home-made, manual/auto? I'm getting things ready for whatever I decide to keep again, they're going to be in egg form when I recieve them so i'm getting it all setup and ready.

Its a hovabator incubator, I got it at my local herp show for about $40. You can get them at www.bigappleherp.com, or your local feed store may carry them.

Thanks,

Andrew
