Congratulations! We are all so relieved and happy for you.

I can't even imagine. I wish the doctor had been thinking on his feet a bit more.

It's so nice to "see" you. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better.

Soooo not fair. Although, when I hatched my own flock's eggs, my ratio was much like yours according to the old-timers who were sexing my chicks as I was selling them. Hasn't benefited me much because I just usually am hatching shipped eggs. I read... darn, somewhere that putting ACV in...

You've been through so much. I hope you know that sharing your story has made so many of us much more careful, and we thank you for those lessons. Of course all of our hearts are with you and wish for the best. I guess it's been 21 days since the Easter Hatch ended, because I set the very...

I hope it's closer to 3/7! Their combs seem to be growing by the minute. There are still 2 I am not sure of, but I am steeling myself for 4/7 roos. I think I'm okay with it, though, because I realllly want an awesome rooster to use for my EO breeding and my planned crossbreeding. If I can...

I am thinking that one is a girl. So far, I think I either have 4/6 boys or 3/6 boys, obviously hoping for the later. I am not too sure on the combs yet - some are really intermediate. A few of mine are definitely boys while there are another few in question... We'll see. I have one who...

I turn 30 next month. But, same as you, I'm creakin' anytime is is cold or rainy. People look at me like I'm nuts on the days when I take the elevator up one floor. Fencing as a teenager was tough on my knees, which is actually why I had to quit. I generally do feel good, though. Didn't...

No way! Thanks, everyone! That is really nice and completely unexpected. Congratulations to Kathy, SCG, Ron, and Arielle as well!!! (And, would ya look at that. My 1000th post!)

Beautiful chicks and photograph, Deb. I get that same feeling. We LOVE off-topic. I was thinking the same thing. "Those little, stripey Orps would be cute!...."

I am loving my Easter chicks. This is the most I've had in the bathroom at one time, and I love their little chicky chatter. I think one of my favorite sounds is the way they twitter to each other at night (I am reclaiming the word "twitter" for its original definition.) I am thrilled with...

Me, too. Second incubator & second EcoGlow...

Thanks for sharing! I love mommas on nests and their little wiggle as they settle down on their eggs or chicks. I just finished watching it.... It is so heartbreaking when she brings back that last worm and no one is there and she just drops it, looks around, and flies off... It seems like...

It might be time to go on a hike, if you can, and clear your head.

I put all of the candling pictures together here on my blog. I haven't been as vigorous about photographing as I usually am, but I have a few. This is my entry for the cutest chick contest (RC Brown Leghorn chick): Although this one is pretty cute, too.

That is so stinkin' cute. Great photo, too!!! I am pretty pumped because, out of the 10 eggs I sent to Arizona for the swap, 9 hatched!!! I had 2 roosters over 9 hens, fed them a breeder supplement I mixed for a few weeks before collecting eggs like we discussed, candled them before...

Me, too. This is the first time I've woken up to a chick dead in the brooder. I had a good cry about it, and now I need to figure out what to do with my very crippled little chick. I may have to lose them both. Do you keep an incubation log? I find it helpful to write down the...
