    Flower Power, winter has been to long crochet swap, closes March 10

    The pattern for the solid squares is a freebie called "Fresh Air." It seemed fitting for a Spring themed flower throw. Here's a link to the pattern: http://myblueangels.blogspot.com/2012/04/fresh-air-6-square.html

    Chick attached to egg still! Help please, PIC!

    That's normal hatching "goo." It's not organs or anything, so it can be removed. Most of the time you can just gently tug it and it comes off. If not, wait until it dried, then trim it off with a pair of clean, sharp scissors.

    New chick with one eye?

    Moisture will help get that "goo" out of the way so he/she can open and close the eye properly. I'm glad there is an eye there. I have had them hatch with only one eye as a result of a poor breeding program.

    New chick with one eye?

    Is there a way you can examine the chick more closely? It may just have an eye stuck closed from hatching and some "goo" has dried around the eye. You may have to gently try to open the eye after wetting it with a moist towel and see if that helps.

    Confused Newbie Broody Hen Hatch.

    Since it is hatch day, I wouldn't move them until the hatch is complete. It may throw your hen off and she may leave the nest in the middle of the hatch. You could candle the eggs this late, but all you will see in a fully developed egg is a black mass with an air cell at the top. It's not...

    Chick attached to egg still! Help please, PIC!

    It is likely stuck to the shell by membranes. Are the membranes attaching him to the egg dried? If so, you can gently clip it with a pair of scissors.

    At this point, the comb looks pullet-y to me. Is a pullet what you were wishing for?

    What's the advantage/ purpose

    1. Ducks - Can be used for meat (such as Pekins), egg production (Khaki Campbells), or just for ornamental purposes (Mandarins) 2. Quail - Mostly used for meat, but some do use the eggs. 3. Goats - Roughly divided into meat or dairy breeds, but other categories can be used for dual purpose...

    Jubilee Orpingtons

    They are still a little young to tell, but I'm leaning towards the following: 1. Cockerel - slower feather growth, larger and pinker comb, overall look of body 2. Pullet - more feather growth, smaller comb 3. Cockerel - ditto from #1

    hatching eggs

    I would avoid opening it the last few days so the humidity will stay pretty consistent. It shouldn't hurt the hatch if you have to open it up to add more water or something. Once they reach that stage, the chicks inside are pretty strong. Keep us posted on your hatch.
