I'll have to open it one more time to get the chick out. It's standing up in it's dish, but every time I look in the incubator it gets excited and tries to climb out. Darn it, I'd like to have a couple of buddies for it, but I'm stuck at home with a sick kid. I assume the 2 week olds will be too rough for one day old chick? Or am I wrong?

Hooray! It's bi-annual worming day today! I've written my list of chickens and I'm off to do them one at a time until they're all caught and checked off. Might have to wait until tonight to do some...if I can't catch them with treats this afternoon. Fun times huh? I hope that helps Ethel grow a little bit. She *might* be the one chicken that I know escaped worming last time around.

Don't think I ever met any of your family but the name does sound familiar.  LOL  small towns, what can you do?  Mr. Fine was yet another great teacher.

It sounds like you have already given up hope on the other chicks even though you saw movement and it's only day 21? I don't get that! Give them another day or two to hatch! The little guy will be fine by himself waiting for his hatch mates to arrive! And that chick is fine in the incubator by himself for 48 hours or so. They have digested the yolk right before hatching and that gives him all that he needs for the next 48 hours or so. So DO NOT OPEN IT!!!!!! Be patient, and step away from the incubator!!!! LOL!

IMO   unless it is drowning LEAVE IT BE. SET ON YOUR HANDS  silly girly!!! You are just risking making things so much worse. The peeps from that one will also help to cheer the others on. OK lets review our lesson from a few days ago! A watched pot NEVER BOILS and WATCHED EGGS NEVER HATCH !!!!  OK so set on yer handsies take a few deep breaths and remember this is nature. If they couldn't do it on their own guess what?  Chickens would have been gone many many many years ago. Now I hope the rest of this   goes well and wishing you best of luck! 

No don't even think about it I see ya wantin to open that bator. Back away and leeverB.

All this incubator talk is making me glad I'm going to be away the weekend mine are supposed to hatch.  I know DH will have no problem ignoring the bator.  I think waiting for chicks to hatch those last couple of days might be pretty stressful.

Yep.  I usually plan my hatches around my work days, so I'm not home a lot, and when I am, I'm sleeping.  :)

So far we have HoneysuckleHills and Shyla-C going on a bulk order of the round 6 egg cartons.  How many do each of you think you would want?  The larger the order, the less expensive they will be.

 

I think I would probably only want 25 or 50 tops.

I was thinking I would like 75-100.

So, gee... I think we're practically related then right?? 

Oh... can you hear it???  Listen carefully, hum along if you know the tune...  It's a small world after all, It's a small world after all, it's a small, small, world.   

I've heard he was pretty popular, but that was through the family grapevine and you know how proud aunts can sometimes exaggerate. 

Actually it's MRS. Burkholtz that is my cousin.  Sadly she passed away a few years ago so now Glenn gets the title.  Good people.

I was over there for the county fair a couple of years ago, little cousins had steers in 4-H so we got to hang out and join in the activities.  That's a pretty cool little fair, do you show anything there, or have kids doing the 4-H thing?
