OCTOBER HATCH-A-LONG!!! 2015

I am beyond excited and so proud of myself! I had 13/14 eggs hatch over the last 2 days. I used a borrowed LG 9200 and was so worried because a lot of people call them a death trap. I was hoping to get 50% hatch rate with it and I had almost 100%! The last one was malpositioned and didn't make it. I waited to long to help. Thank You to everyone on here for your wisdom! I am now a hatching addict and will have another set going in for Thanksgiving!!

GITA /CHICKEN DREAMS: Thank you so much for such a warm welcome!!! I've missed everyone. And we've had some losses here. 4RIRS up and vanished. Never to return. No evidence of foul play. And two chickens to URI. Sable,a banty I raised and Brenna. (Brenna had to be put down. ) Our beloved Wilson just died out of nowhere. No signs of foul play or sickness. She was our best hen in every way. And then one of her chicks,bout three months now,hurt one leg and was compensating well. Then all of the sudden...the other leg went ! It was like she was doing the splits. She was Flip. We put her down. So it's been very sombering the last couple weeks. Prayers greatly appreciated!!!! God bless.
 
Oh my goodness Hunny prayers definitely on their way I'm so sorry for all of your losses. What does that put your numbers down to? Seriously thinking you need a trip up to see me this spring for flock renewal lol so sorry about Wilson Hunny and all the rest. Sorry I haven't messaged you back yet been busy Mike's still in the fields and I spent several hours on Halloween night in the er for a uti that made it to my kidneys the next day. I'm on the mend but not as fast as I'd like to be. Trying to keep this place going and take it easy at the same time... And they're mutually exclusive. Missed you Hunny and sending you hugs
 
Aww I'm so glad you got such a good number and don't beat yourself up over the little one you lost. We're they your eggs or shipped eggs?
They were all from my flock. They are so cute! Four of them have muffs and they are so adorable. Now to figure out which EE hen they can from the blue eggs or the dark frown eggs?!

Hi baby doll! Thank you. We now have 13 chickens and 2 ducks. We had 21 chickens. We had a huge scare with one of the ducks. He was near death for two days and then he was fine. It was the weirdest thing but so greatful he's ok. I think he accidentally ate a diluted moth ball. Anyways.... It's been rough. But on a good note:four of our does(goats) are prego and near kidding! I'm super excited!!!!! Oh I'm so sorry. I grew up getting those and I feel for you. I'll be praying for you as well. I miss you you you!
