I just put silkies in last night to hatch and have buckeyes, GC Marans and BC Marans ready to go in on the 9th. Then I am going to stop. Hahahahahah thats what all addicts say right?
It is hard isn't it. I like to at least give them a chance but 75% of the time they would never have made it in a natural setting. It is those other 25% that keep me trying.

Pink chick, let her rest and turn her over on the other side every hour for about 4 hours. Then get the tap water nice and comfortably warm and give her a bath under the running water to get all the junk off her. Careful of getting too much water in her mouth.

Hi sekinkead, My little goose is so sweet. You will love them. He isn't alone though. He has 6 grown ups outside ready to break my door down when he gives him little honks.
