Been a long time. When I got this message, I was not ready to talk. A lot of hard things have happened. Life does what it does, and it's.. done a lot of things I don't think anyone would be ready for.
My girls are doing well. I have lost some of my originals to old age during this time, and...
Sorry loves! I was without an internet connection for a few days there!
Unfortunately, we are fairly certain we lost the double yolker. The last candling has no movement, and a pretty clear blood ring. They did not appear to develop past the first few days, sadly! But I am happy to say that all...
That is unfortunately what I am thinking as well. I will candle tonight and see if we can get a definite conclusion- but I am not sure what I should do if it is indeed dead. The other babe would soon die as well, yes? I don’t want to let it grow further only for it to die as well, seems cruel!
Hello, fellow Georgian!
I also call my flock the flower flock! A couple of our chickies even share the same names. Must be a Georgian thing!
I hope you enjoy this lovely forum, people are so friendly and have been so helpful to me since I started keeping chickens myself. There is no problem...
Hello!
I have three duckies I am looking to swap for other duckies, though I am also interested in chickens, hatching eggs (chickens, duckies, or button quail), button quail, and certain kinds of pigeons.
These are the three lovey downy dorks I am looking to rehome- they are bonded, so if you...
Hello! I am so sorry about the wait, I didn’t have access to a computer for a while there- still kind of don’t, trying to navigate the forums with my phone haha!
But we found out that Bumblebee (the Pekin) is a boy, and Grasshopper (the khaki campbell) is a girl! We also now have a young...
Sorry for the little bit of quiet, didn’t get to candle the lil darlings yesterday, but I candled them tonight. Both sill moving, though they look a bit mixed up now- apologies for the marking on the egg, they decided to be more visible on that side today!
That’s such a fun way to find out...
That’s a good way to put it. (: I am really curious about that too, I wonder how it works with chickens! I hope they make it to hatch day so that we can get an answer. Fingers crossed!
Candled then along with my other bator babies, and here is their progress:
Looks like they are both still...
Thank you Dobie! I am going through the thread now, it’s pretty informative so far. (:
Thank you. I feel like it’s too late to turn back now anyway, I would feel bad if I tossed them now! So I am just going to do my best and hopefully get some help along the way.
Hello!
I am hoping to get some advice on a surprise I found in my incubator today. I have a small batch of eggs from my mixed flock in my bator (five of them), as a first run at seeing how lucky our recently of age silver polish rooster has been with the girls.
Today, while candling them, we...
