Male over female.

And here are my Basques!!! I have 8 so far, including little Sneakers and one which seems to have leg issues but just hatched this morning.

Soooooooooo cute! I can't offer any help on the toe issues, sorry.

Thanks! That's what I have been saying, but then I started to doubt myself.

Pip #3 still no zipping but it has motivated me to check the heat lamp and get the brooder ready. Nothing like being in "labor" to get you going. One of my pips (not this egg) is one of Renee's I/P eggs! Oh and my turkey eggs arrived all safe and sound from thebirdguy for the Cinco De Mayo hatch! Best of all DH will be home in about four hours!!!! Great day all around!

Turkey Hatchalong!

Anything can happen with a PR. They're a cross breed that doesn't breed true.

Chickens: 4 RIR, 1 HRIR roo, 1 BA hen, 13 AGF, 2 BA/RIR. Ducks: 1 Mallard drake and 4 little Coturnix quail. Everything else: 6 dogs, 6 cats, a pot bellied pig and one stubborn Mustang that rules the field!

Living happily with Blu and our son on the way.

RIP Ducky and Bo4

I have a pip! My RIRs normally pip on day19- 20 (today) so it doesn't surprise me. I did, however, have another of those moments where I thought I was losing my mind when I heard the peeping.

Hatching eggs has been a humbling experience, for me anyway. Always more to learn.
