My little wheaten died. She seemed to be doing fine and I just checked on them, since my darn roos are all outside crowing and I went to find out why. Just didn't realize what time it was. They're actually an hour late. Also lost a chick in the outside brooder. Not sure why.
Haven't come in to share this, but I did mention the other day how I lost my little Wheaten Marans chick. Guess what? We had it in a tiny box and my grand daughter and I were going to have a little funeral. I got the hole dug and she was holding the box and we heard a peep! Opened it up and she...
Well I ended up with just the 4 from my birds. 1 FBCM and 3 EE or Olive Eggers. Not one shipped egg hatched. To to it off I just lost one of the 2 from the shipped Marans that hatch on the 30th. The wheaten I helped out. She seemed fine and just suddenly took a turn for the worse. The 4 new ones...
I have an OE out and no other pips. Less to hatch this time. Only got 2 Marans to hatch the last hatch. I sure hope I get a few of those to hatch this time around.
Hope your little chick is alright. Doesn't it figure that one you want is the one that gets hurt?
I'm still hoping my with my late lockdown and I haven't screwed up. Still waiting to see if I get any more pips from the eggs past due. Sitting here marking eggs that will go in in the morning...
WOW you guys are so ahead of me. Then again mine really aren't due till the 3rd. My hatch for the 29th didn't happen until yesterday and only 2 out of 24. Most of them though I didn't hink were going to do anything since 9 out of 23 eggs were smashed by the PO. But I have a FBCM in the brooder...
I'm just trying to be good and not touch anything till lockdown. I have more eggs to set today and those are going into the Sportsman for now. That thing really needs some repairs, but temps hold.
I'll be setting a dozen blue Marans and probably 5 Olive Eggers, if Shady lays one for me today.
I don't have many pics and probably won't for a while, but my breeds are listed on my page. See if there's anything there you might like, but keep in mind I have only an Olive Egger laying at the moment. LOL
I like feathered lags and feet too.
OK I'm finally pooped enough to sleep.
I set 18 Bev Davis FBCMs and The first 4 eggs of the season. Only one laying, so 4 Olive Eggs in the bator.
Here we go again. Will Kim get a couple to hatch this time?
