if i had more than 1 choc bibbed i would (if i could)
but since she is my old chocolate she is all mine =)
and yes teh blue bibbed girls are stunning.
the one with the brown spot on her cheek really crack me up .
now if she just had a corresponding spot on the other side it would be adorable

dutch.
i love my blue bibbeds
i need to get pics of the 2 juvi girls up close.
they are soo beautiful.

i have good and bad news.
bad news is my critical babies died .
good news.
the 2 leg issue babies. got moved to the brooder.
still slightly wobbly.
but are much better than earlier in the day .
=)
i offered these 2 come food when they were out since they were picking at me soo much .
seems they are just curious not hungry .
and thats good about the grey baby.
im not giving up on the icu baby but i need to not get attached.
im hoping these 2 will be ok.
they are such sweethearts.

hich i think they enjoyed . theyd walk as fast as the could bite my rings then scramble into my hand and pick on eachother.
and they are willingly drinking theyr...
well my last hatch went against that rule. those guys popped out and were up on their feet within hours and outa the bator within 24hrs.

i hope my babies make a turn around

the juvies got to swim in a big duckie pool for a few hrs yetserday
so i fully expected to wake up to a dead duckling .
but this little guy is determined.
i dont know that he'll make it but he sure is trying.
i put him in a cup to try to get him in a normal position but so far he keeps flinging himself out which means he is strong enough to do so .
2 other...
he is a fighter. but that is just making me more attached =/
and the ad was someone wanting to rehome their 3 yr old mastif who is neutered.
