LOVE LOVE LOVE all the pictures!!! Babies are looking really good. I only ended up with 2 survivors from my hatch. ANNNNND they both look like roos... BUT I went and got some White Rock chicks. THEN today I went and bought 6 Splash Wyandotte eggs, and 18 Blue Laced Red Wyandotte eggs so now...

So I go outside, and the others pecked her skull open. Not sure why, she had a LOT of dandruff on her when we moved me to the new house. So this is her repairing in my washroom. Cool makeshift 'nest' huh?! She is up and walking today, eating good. Hope that means it's getting better.

I'm literally sitting up with a sickly chick.... Umbilical bubble, looks like a hernia, is slightly open in a teeny tiny spot. And it is draining. Making it stick to metal bator bottom... Just hatched today, seems to like my finger pillow....

CODY: I think your so attentive for a first timer! I am not a newbie and still make mistakes, which of course I just made another... poor early pipper drowned.... but a huge thumbs up to ya!!! Pam: I will NEVER be a star of any kind except to my kids... BUT I LOVE being a part of history in...

I am begging for this, since hubby is a Cowboys fan I was thinking it would encourage the purchase?!

So, I collected eggs for 4 days, left in a bowl in kitchen, then incubated all at once. Humidity wavered from 40-55, and all eggs on sides, hand turned 3-5 times a day. Today is day 18.... and I hear a chick chirping! I am so excited! Plus, my only surviving Dom hen is finally laying...

Hey guys!! Did ya miss me? LOL. Life has been so hectic, I do hope you all are doing good. Obviously got a TON to read through to get caught up. BUT, I'm putting 24 eggs in the bator so here's to a new year!

So, after the stray dog attack day before yesterday, Clarabelle showed up!!! Torn up some, patches of feathers missing but my baby is back. Doctored her good. But, only have one left at this age in the picture. Can't mix ages well here, older ones tease to death. So, I have a new baby....

Anyone ever used CALF MANNA? Been reading up in it since I'm getting 25-40 Cobb 500 hens in October.

No not Blondie!!! Awww honey I am so sorry, you will indeed miss those hugs..... Cool down sounds like something my common sense should have thought of long ago!!!!! Gonna pass on the spritz tho, our humidity is already pretty high. I put 27 in, 2 weren't fertilized, 6 were already dead...

AAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! I cant stand it. Incubating drives me nutso!!!! More of the red blood line across the inner shell.... half I placed in there are dead.. good thing they were only 10 days old, HATE when it is a good looking close to hatch developed chick. I've read all I can...

Local girl called me recently, wondering if i could tell how old her 'new' hen additions were. I had no clue.... An elderly couple had given theirs up, promising good layers etc. WELL.... they are about 4 years old according to her vet. SO... I just hope for you that this is not the case...
