Wow! A moment of silence for Lil Man :-) I don't think we went 24 hours without a post since this thread started! :-) My last egg hatched a couple of days ago and I have a tiny silvery-blue baby Marans :-) 3 "newer" eggs were apparently laid in that same nesting box so they arent quite as far...

Quote: hmmm.. well i just looked them up online and i do not have one of those so how did I end up with this lil guy?? :-) perhaps some of my easter eggers or americanas or aruacanas have that gene? i dunno but theyre both adorable!

July 19. 2011 ~ July 26, 2011 ~*~ Lil Man ~*~ I had no idea he wasnt going to make it :-( My husband found him a few hours after I went to bed.. at least I didn't have to find him.. i just dont get how they can be up and about and eating and drinking~ totally normal one minute then just...

Yinepu.. we're making a difference one cute lil chicka at a time!!! Thanks to you everyone reading this will have the knowledge to face almost anything that can go wrong in a hatch even if its their 1st! And that just equals more lil lives in this world!!!

Quote: Which one is yours? One of them looks really similar to my newest hatch! Just posted a picture of her :-) KUDOS to YOU! And also to you 1 Rooster! :-)

Quote: Just the 1 rocker left to hatch.. The 3 that were "stuck" in half of the shell because they hadnt been turned will be a bit behind this hatch but lets hope they arent so drama filled when theyre ready for their debut and PLEASE GOD NO MORE ripped yolk sacs please!!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY in...

Quote: Sometimes it happens.. but darn it gal... you have had way too many of those in this hatch! I've way to many of EVERYTHING in this hatch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quote: What the heck??

Pictures!! Here are some pictures of my latest baby chick to hatch! She was the one without her wing covering her face in the egg (the 2nd one like this in this hatch) She hatched yesterday :-) I only had to help a little :-) So adorable!! Just had to put some tape on one foot.. as you can...

.... Well...ON TO HAPPIER NEWS..... I have my 1 rocker left. It hasnt internally pipped yet though! I candled the others and believe it or not I have THREE healthy moving babies in the eggs that were divided length-wise (dark on top & glows on the bottom half) which usually means early...

I hope yall are up.... Why would I not see an air cell in the egg that was rocking and internally pipping yesterday??? DARN IT!!!!!! I opened it up and she freakin drowned! Leg right thru her yolk sac!!!!! OMG i am so mad!! I just watched her move around last night via candling and today it...

Quote: I just went back to the photos of when Lil Man hatched and they are definitely not from the same mama because the eggs are different.. They could have the same daddy though but i would imagine id have waaaaay more than just 2 of these in all 60+ that mama hens have hatched out and what...

Quote: i wouldnt think so.. i mean they do not look anything alike. I think Lil Man is an orpington and marans cross... I will have to see what this chick looks like once she finishes drying off.. I have all kinds of hens but only 3 roosters... one is a silkie and he dont get ANY of the women...

Quote: You're in for quite a surprise if you do decide to read it! 30 pages long and still going! lol its been quite a hatch! just about everything that could go wrong HAS! But i only lost one out of 19 and thats because her leg went straight thru her yolk sac while still in the shell and i...

Quote: thats great!

Lil chick tried her hardest to hatch on her own but after 12 hours of her constantly working on getting out of her shell but making absolutely no progress I went ahead and helped her out a little by removing some of her shell for her. And guess what! no shrink wrap!! thats 2 in a row!! :-)...

Quote: Well it went back to 78 in the incubator too and stayed there as well. So should i try to re-set it? How does that work when its already reading the humidity wherever it is?

its got a good chance! the last one did! she just tore her yolk sac and ended up aspirated from the fluids :-( lets hope this one is a perfect hatch! :-)

I use to go to sleep at 9:30! Imagine that!! Since this hatch started though I might go to sleep around 4am or i might not sleep at all :-/ Woke up to a lil pip this morning! I should meet a new baby today!!

.... yeah right, like i could sleep!! I remembered that I saw a nest of eggs today in my husbands lawnmower trailer. I have asked him several times to PLS move it out of the chicken pen and anything else in there where they can hide a nest from me because we have more than enough chickens now...
