    Well my OE with the twisted looking body, now named twister, is doing amazing! Not looking so twisted anymore. And keeps up with all the EEs just fine. So by some small miracle the poor baby that couldn't stand up for days has over come it's issues. I thought I had a pic on my phone but I...

    Ended up with 5 EEs. They are doing great and are soooooo darn cute! The dark one is hard to see in the pic but she's in there. I have a favorite. Shame on me. The lightest one is so pretty! 1 OE hatched... Not in the picture. But can't stand up very well. Poor thing keeps falling over...

    I made it home! 4 EEs hatched! Finally!!! 1 more pip. And one that had pipped this morning has a good size hole in the shell and is bleeding... Ugh. I believe her already hatched friends bullied her a bit too much for not hatching when they did. I don't think that one will make it but I...

    I have EEs and OEs in lockdown. Just bought a bigger house and 14 acres of land. Moving and hatching is an interesting experience. Positive side - lots of property for chicks to free range means I can hatch more after I move. I had some Silkie eggs in this bunch but they didn't develop at...

    Well hubby bought me an incubator last week!!!! He felt sorry for me because I was fighting with my homemade incubator. He said if I was gonna do it I might as well have the right equipment. I'm so happy I can't stand it. Yesterday was day 7 in the incubator for the EE eggs. Candling went...

    Hi. I have recently been named "the crazy chicken lady" by my younger sister. I began my incubating addiction on March 2nd. So one hatch down and I am indeed obsessed. I tried the DIY incubator in an aquarium not expecting much but thought me and the kids would have fun. I sat 12 of my...

    Hi!!!!! I'm soooo excited to be here. I got my first chicks back in March after begging my hubby for three years. I was instantly hooked of course. I've been a forum stalker for the past couple of weeks, soaking up tons of very useful info. Today seemed like the day to join and really get...
