Alaska Chicken Lover's Soup for the Cold!!

[PandoraTaylor]

The one that piped the wrong end didn't make it.

The other one is finally out and has been moving the eggs all around.

There is 1 pip
the other 6 I can see nothing going on.
humidity is low so added more water (syringe & small airhose) and covered 1 vent.

I sure hope the rest hatch today!

Good luck Pandora! I'm sorry the backward baby didn't make it.

I do believe that you are the most addicted to hatching of this group.

Bonnie may not be far behind though...

What a fun thread, I was born/raised in Soldotna and Anchorage and I do miss the great state of AK. My husband still gets on me when I refer to the "other states" as the "lower 48!"

Have a great week, and KEEP WARM!

That hen died. So, that makes four hens over a period of 3-4 weeks that have died sounding like they had the croup/asthma.

PaulaJoAnne;

I am so sorry for your loss.

Its a chicken! Thank you though

We are not sentimental about them, BUT!!!!!! They are part of our growing farm, our food source, etc.

I am sentimental about all loss of life.

I still have chickens for food, so I don't let it stop me from eating.

2nd Columbian Rock is hatched, we have 6 more to go......
but so far I can't even see any pips

the first one has moved all the eggs, thermometers and humidity meters, so I am having trouble telling what is going on in there. lol

I'm sorry Paula.. I had hoped she'd come around..

Losses like this are so hard to take because one doesn't know why...
Pandora, any more pips?

 

[PandoraTaylor]

and now there are 3 harched and I can see 1 more that is piped!

They seem to like the back corner and have moved everything around, so I can't get a good picture.
So I will wait until later or tomorrow before I open the incubator. I will keep you posted!
