    Is this girl/boy a splash? Came from a splash/blue pen. But only splash with no blue splash showing.

    Well we only had one hatch. So picking up 2 blue Silkies today. I do have 24 more eggs coming next week. I think I was too much haha on. So after a week and the sir cells reattach I'm going to out the automatic Turner on all I don't have to touch them as much. Well see how well that works out.

    Respiratory Infection?

    I am pretty sure my chickens have a respiratory infection going on. They are making like a gargling noise and every once in awhile catch one sneezing. Our livestock vet doesn't deal with chickens. I already called. So what can I treat with? I did pick up some Vetrx from TSC. will this work? or...

    We have a little more progress. Right was at 7 am. Left was around 1pm. It's 7pm now. When should there be now progress before I should start to worry? We lost one :( it does start internally pipping. It internally pipped last night. And was dead this morning.

    2 internal pips. One other still moving. I had 3 with the weird veining and those 3 are no longer moving so I think they died. Hoping tomorrow we'll have chicks. Not sure how long after internal pip they usually hatch.

    I did a quick check this morning since I had to open up to wet the sponges anyway. We have 1 that's close to internally pipping. I will be opening the lid anymore though. Any water added will be added from outside.

    Thank you. I have had really good luck with dry hatching my own eggs. And incubating shipped eggs upright in cartons. So decided to comb I ne the two and dry hatch shipped eggs upright. Honestly I'm not too upset with the amount that made it to lockdown. I have another 6 eggs co.ing as well .

    Lock down is today. 13 were shipped. 5 never developed. Lost 2 around 7 days. I'm left with 6. One of those I'm not sure about. Didn't see movement today. But kept it in anyway. Hatching upright in carton. Increasing humidity to 60%

    Anyone here grow strawberry plants? I started last year. I put straw over them over the winter. Do I wait until end of may to remove the straw so they don't get frost damage? Or when do I remove the straw?
