Twitch the cuddle bug The ladies "Ginger" Spice Princess "Peach" And the four unnamed hooligans I believe these two are the barred rocks Which I believe makes these the GLW. I love their little faces. :)

These are two of the chicks I brought home today. They were labeled "red pullet" so I'm assuming they're some sort of sex linked breed. Here's a group photo. Two of the other four are GLW, and the other two are barred rocks. I really can't tell them apart though.

I just bought 6 chicks to keep him company. And I have. 30 more eggs in the incubator. I can already feel the chicken math setting in.

Meet Twitch, the lone survivor of my first hatch. He loves being held and will sit still and be as sweet as can be, but put him in the brooder and he runs around and peeps non stop. I need to get him a friend next week when TSC starts their chick days here.

My little duckling is so goofy. I got home and was so worried he'd be dead. Nope, but he was glued to the towel I'm using in the brooder. Had put some honey in his water yesterday to try to help him out, and I guess I used too much cause he had apparently taken a swim in it and then gotten stuck...

Really hope the baby will be okay tonight overnight. I have to work at. 7am and I live an hour from work so were stating with my grandparents tonight so that I don't have to get the boys up at 530 tomorrow morning. In other news, I had an ultrasound today , my official due date is 10/3. My...

Well guys, sad news. I just eggtopsied 4 eggs. 3 were fully developed but dead in shell, one had even gone into the airsack. One looks like it quit about a week ago. The last egg pipped yesterday and was peeping and rolling like crazy, but my humidity had dropped to 15 some how, so I ended up...

Omg guys. I got my silkie eggs in the mail today... I never realized how tiny they are!! Especially compared to the duck eggs I've gotten used to.

I'm pretty sure I killed my eggs. :( I came home today and realized my incubator has been at 90 degrees since Tuesday night. :( they were supposed to hatch today but I don't see any movement or anything

Depending on how my next hatch goes I'll buy a big bag... But I didn't want to get a ton and not have any babies to eat it. Still need to get a feeder and waterer for my brooder. I'm going to get it all put together tonight and decide whether to hook it up in the shed or in my room. I really...

One of them looks like it quit about a week ago. 2 have a lot of clear space at the bottom still. The two I know are good, I could see moving like crazy when I candled. How much do y'all pay for chick starter? I just bought 3lbs at $.80/ lb. I didn't want to buy a big bag in case nothing...

I just candled, looks like only two of my eggs are still good :( all five are still in the incubator though, just in case.

My eggs should be hatching late Thursday, early Friday. I may have just ordered 20 more eggs... 8 mixed silkies and 12 barnyard mixes and wyandottes in a surprise box. Was going to order some olive riggers as well but she was asking $20 just for shipping which seems nuts to me. They should be...

I'm HIPPOing what I've missed in the last 10 days, I'm down to 5 eggs left out of 32. :( none of the ones I got locally were fertile. We go into lockdown Tuesday night. :)

Sorry guys. I know that this isn't really the place for this. Just don't have anyone else to talk to, and I just want to stop crying.

Unfortunately, the child growing inside of me will be a constant reminder that I wasn't good enough. :'( Thanks for the hugs though.

So my SO broke up with me today... :(

I saw heartbeats today in 6 of my eggies! And I could see the eye on one of them. :D
