Yay!  Hatching buddies!  I need to check for internal pipping on the 3 under the Call hen.  They are due tomorrow....can't decide if I wanna leave them with her, or bring them in.  I'll probably bring them in cuz I just can't stand not knowing what is going on!   That and I don't want a newborn falling into their pool.

Butters is doing very, very well.  I think he might have an infection in one eye, but a drop or two of Gentak should fix that.  I decided to put the silkie that is wearing taped shoes in with him....Butters was scared to death at first.  He's only known me, lol.  He's getting used to him now.  It looks like the tape has come off of one foot, but it looks cured.  Amazing how 24 hrs of tape can fix fisted feet.  I'm thinking I'll be able to put Butters in with the group tomorrow. 

Have 3 Call eggs due in two days, currently under a broody.  Then 5 days from now 2 more under another broody.

I checked my scrambled silkie eggs in the bator, and out of 30 eggs I at least have 22 growing.  I seem to have this air cell stabilization thing down pretty good, lol.  Chicken eggs are soooo much easier than Call eggs!

And oh my!  Simon is getting his dewlap!!!  Marcel is starting to, as well!  And Simon has a very deep keel going...looks like he's got pants falling down around his knees!
