    Umbilical Something Or Other???

    Still won't let me get a good picture of his little red hernia thingy. The long hair thing I've determined is probably actually his umbilical cord. He's starting to peck at one of eggs attempting to peel some of its shell off to unzip so I'm going to move him to the brooder box with my other...

    Day 23 ... 2 pips and a chirper within the shell...

    Update. As of RIGHT now, 4pm. I still have one chick, Lucky, who is very well almost dry! My 2nd egg has gotten the shell off and is trying to zip the membrane. I'm a little worried as there's some red lines but when I look at Lucky's shell, I realized there's some on there too, so I'll take it...

    Singing The First Time Blues

    Thanks for the advice! I guess I started asking at a bad time. Went into lock down this morning. Praying...ALOT! I have 15 eggs in there but I'm really only expecting a few. Which is ok, was worth the try. And that's right, I'll learn for next time. I'm a little worried because we had scrambled...
