Whew, so relieved there were not half grown embryos in the Bear eggs. Hoping for some fertile Bear eggs with the next hatch! Hatch Number 2, I mean Hatch B, on the way. I'll keep the same name for any Bear egg COUGAR.

VS, is there any news on the other Hatch B eggs in the Reptipro? The pretty blue eggs and the Bear eggs?

Do you think due to Bear's age her 'womb' is hostile to sperm? I don't know... anyway. Glad you did not find "quitters" in the eggs. That would be so hard/sad. Cam, is he mature enough to have active sperm (I don't know what the proper word for that is)? Just thinking out loud I guess. Hatch C coming up!

I LOVE that Saturday Night Live episode, love Mr. Walken anyway! :swoon:

Congratulations Spookygonk and FluffyBunnies! :)

Since there are no more Bear Eggs can I change my name from Cougar to Maynard? Thank you VS!

edit: Nevermind, I saw the OP and I am going to hold out hope for a Bear Egg, keep the name Cougar! Come on Bear eggs!

Welp, no more pips, I think Hatch D is done at 4 chicks. Needless to say, I am NOT looking forward to breaking out those bantam Cochin eggs since I know there were embryos inside. The Bear eggs I'm fairly certain will be like the ones that came before--infertile.

Meanwhile, we'll be getting pics of the new kids later on and I'll post them.

awww so sorry about the bantam eggs VS. I was holding out for at least one Bear egg, just wasn't meant to be I suppose. Thank you for the great 4 weeks of hatching chickies, what a blast! :)

Well, I did the break out of the eggs that did not hatch. As expected, none of the Bear eggs were fertile so nothing developed. Mother Nature saying 'Aw HELL nah!' to old lady mothers. With the three bantam Cochin eggs, one had quit during the first week of development, the other two had quit at day 18 or 19--fully developed but no internal pip into the air cell, hadn't turned into hatching position or absorbed the last of the egg yolk. Other than that the chicks looked good. Cause is most likely due to parentage, since the other eggs all developed and hatched just fine.

I'm just not meant to have bantam Cochins. :smith:

awww shucks VS. You don't mean that! You deserve those round floofy feathered creatures! I have no doubt, you will be the owner of some, some day!

Another funny video from the Gangam Chicken guy. Thinking of Weedcat and Cam! I thought Silkie chickens were a docile breed but I guess not!
