Oh! Didn't know that! It's not that thick, but maybe you should tell that to Dad next time...
Aww Zimmy~Your JackJack looks EXACTLY like my Shadow! Mine's a Blue Russian wanna-be too! (His mama was pure, but daddy wasnt)
XDD Don't know about his daddy, but his mamma was a crazy mix. She made...
XD I have NO IDEA what they are. When they start to grow in their feathers, I'll end up asking you guys.
The kitty in question in Jackjack, by the way. Pretty russian-blue-looking one! The other cat is the evil, dog-chasing Queen Annabell, an orange tabby.
XD They're all in the brooder, cheeping They don't mind me holding them, expect when I try to get a piece of this "crittercare" litter from them that they dug up from behind the paper towls =P
No other pips, didn't expect much, but I'll keep them in there for another few days
I'll get picks...
Thanks!
We've now officially've got three beautiful yellow babies! The little one hatched while I wasn't looking, and is still trying to fluff up. The second chickis a yellow/white ball of fluff, the first has an orange neck, and not quite as fluffy as num. 2.
The big chick is almost fully fluffed... I wanna name 'him' Martini /soooo/ bad, but-HA! SPEAKING OF!
My aunt's office is having a poll on chick names, the winner gets a bag of robin eggs XP Those are goooooood. Martini's one of them
The big guy keeps pecking at the little guy too mcuh, and...
I got home from school- AND THE SECOND PIP HATCHED, LIKE, 5 MINUTES BEFORE I GOT HERE!
Now the fluffier one is like, climbing over the eggs with no problem, and the little one can barely lift it's head Have to put an uipadted pic!!
Nothing yet... The little pip I saw at three is the same...
This bugger can chirp! He's been crawling all over the egss, and half of him is getting fluffy...
Thanks guys!!
AW!!! It's a cute little baby! (Now, if only it would stop trying to walk towards the light!) I didn't think about the chick getting too close tot he lightbulb before, but since it was tumbling towards it, we cut up some more hardware wire and put it around the bulb
OMIGOD! LIGHTINGFAST HATCH! It only took 3 hours, but chick number one is rolling around the incubator, moving one of the other eggs around, trying like mad to get his booty unconnected from this little bit of stuff connecting him to the egg :3 His head stops to rest on one of the eggs a bunch...
GO CHICKIE GO!!!!!!
This one is /at it/! It's peeping like mad, and it already has a whole bigger than the top of my thum!
I've been whistling and peeping at it, and my mum recorded it braking some of the shell-It's peeping like mad!
OMIGOD OMIDUCKINGOD THERE ARE TWO PIPS!!!!!
I never knew that you could hear them so loudly through the shell!!
IT"S THREE IN THE FRICKEN MORNING BUT THERE ARE TWO PIPS!!!
I woke up earily again (last time I woke up at four, because of a dream about chickens). THIS TIME I woke up at 3:15...
Thanks...
OH. FUNNY STORY.
I got my little, five-year-old brother psyched up about the chicks a loooong while back, waaay before even the bator was built. So when the eggs got here, my mum picked him up from school early (not for the eggs, but...). I used to go to that school, so alot of the...
And, dunno why, but I've resigned myself to thinking that none of the eggs will hatch Maybe because I automatically do this with everything-bring down my expectations so the results always are good or expected-so that if one chick hatches, I think my heart would explode with love and thanks...
