Good luck with the rest of your chicks!!

Thank you so much for posting this. I know that this is the best way to go. 

 

On a happier note two more pips.

I'm married to a wonderful, caring, loving man. 1 son, daughter by choice and  3 wonderful, beautiful grand babies.

2 dogs, total of 23 chickens and counting!

Total of 6 babies! or I should say 8. One I had to cull and one that died in the shell. I don't know why the one died in the shell. It was almost out. :(  Should I candle the rest? The last one was yesterday(Sunday).
