    July 2015 Hatch A Long HAL

    Final update probably. I lost three chicks today. Hard day. So, here is how it all went down. I lost four chicks total that I know for sure were definitely alive. There were two malpositioned chicks. One pipped while everyone else was hatching out and didn't hang on until no others were pipped...

    July 2015 Hatch A Long HAL

    I need to better learn what I am looking for in later development when it gets more difficult to see in the eggs during late incubation candling. I still had some eggs in there that didn't fully develop. Want to know how I know? My husband busted not one, but two of them this morning. At the...

    Alright well I went ahead and moved the chicks because I needed to assist chick #4. She pipped, zipped... then nothing. She was kicking to get out but couldn't for some reason. So I chipped away the shell that was left (it wasn't much) in the zip line so she would have an easier time. No veins...

    Ok. So my first chick that hatched will have been out for 24 hrs here in a little while. All three hatched chicks are dry. But I do have three pipped right now (four if you count the malpositioned one, but ... :( ) When do I move them to the brooder or should I at all with other eggs pipped...

    July 2015 Hatch A Long HAL

    I can only speak from the experience I've gained from this hatch, as it is my first. But my first chick hatched in the middle of the night last night and I've got one that just now decided to pip. And again, I didn't even see some of the pips of the chicks that have already hatched. They must...

    wild baby rabbit

    I had a wild bunny once. My friend found it with a broken leg and brought it to me. I nursed it back to health, let it run around on the floor and carried it in my shirt pocket. It was a rewarding experience, even though he did chew my furniture, the little pest. ;) That being said, I only kept...

    The temptations that come along with incubation are crazy bad. I just want to put them in the brooder so bad right now haha

    July 2015 Hatch A Long HAL

    I tried to post this earlier so if it went through and I don't see it I apologize for multiple posts. But if it helps, some of mine have been hours apart as far as activity goes. And some of them have been pipping in secret under the egg and suddenly I turn around and have a zipped egg ready to...

    Three pips that I can see, anyways. Little Ms. Fluffy McNinja Pants over here must have pipped on the bottom side of the egg facing down, because I didn't even know she was working on hatching until she was about five min from kicking right out of her shell

    July 2015 Hatch A Long HAL

    I have a quick question. Three others have pipped (y'all were so right. As soon as she hatched & started peeping they became motivated to do the same) but haven't zipped yet (I know, they will take their time. They are some huge fans of taking their sweet time haha) but I left her in there to...
