So now that i'm all caught up

Last night after the 2 hatched another 3 decided to pop out, so i have 5 in the bator drying, 1 more pipped and hopefully more will pip while i'm at work

I did find 1 DIS this morning :*( last night it was breathing out its pip hole but this morning it wasnt moving so i got a bamboo skewer and stuck in the little vent hole so i could poke the shell and see if it would move at all, and it didn't, upon speedy removal it looks like it flipped itself down to the other end and got stuck and suffocated and i think it was a splash maran

agfter i took it out and started peeling to find its beak my daughter (4 yo) looks at me and says 'mommy i think its dead' lol, yep but i was still gonna try

I am sorry about the DIS

Quote:
I'm not sure I could be, but it's only day 7 and they were on opposite sides of one another.

Well today is day 8, but it didn't look like they were connected in anyway. They are both on opposite sides of each other, ones on the west side and the others on the east.

try to get images if you candle day 10!

good Luck!!

Thanks I thought so too but it turns out the breeder's flock has infectious Coryza, the NN Polish didn't make it and I had to cull my small flock of 9. She still breeds them but no way am I ever stepping foot there again.

oh NOOOOOO!!!!!!
this is terrible!!

Well I have 20+ chicks in the bator. It's getting crowded but still have like 10 eggs pipped. I'll take pics when there all out. I dropped 40+ eggs on April 8th also. So I'll have another April hatch also. Let's keep raining the April chicks guys.

great hatch!!!

The main flock, last pics of our chickens

awwwwwww feeding the flock!!!

Woke up to one RIR pip yesterday

Today woke up to a RIR hatch.
And 3 pips.

Early hatches but I think it was a pretty clean hatch.

Sally, have to say, cracking up at those look a like photos of men and their NN hair cuts..if they only knew!

Here's a few I had a couple years ago. Unfortunately predators got some and my neighbor took the rest.

Oh, you know I love these!

Check out that white SG! Love it! You need more.

Hatched and were they the ones you took the color off.

Not hatched yet.
But look viable

I knew I had a chick zipping, sat down to talk with my hubby a bit, then remembered the chick, ran..silly me..to get to the bator, rammmed...yes, rammed my pinky toe and the next one into a doorway, really hard. Pretty sure it's broken. :/ Man that hurt! All to watch a chick hatch! It's doing a nice swell up job..I've broken this pinky toe before. I've broken both pinky toes before. Am I a clutz? I guess.

I fell on top of the brooder. Poor babies in there thought an earthquake had happened. I have my son's wedding to go to next Thursday. Hope I can wear a shoe. :/ I'm so mad at myself. This is the hatch for a friend..A Barnie is first to hatch.
