Oh Heather. So sorry.

Yes, I've thought as much. Now if it weren't so stinking cold out there, I might be tempted to check. That stinks about the Orp eggs, Jim Hall's got some great birds, I was hoping that would work out for you.

MC I hear ya on the headache. The barometric pressure is messing with me. The LAST thing I should be doing is staring at this screen.

Got my duck eggs in the bator, my vet says to spritz them with water everyday. I'm really not sure what to do. Oh Saaaaally!

Heading toward Philly today, will be stopping at Maria's Bakery, getting some danish….and maybe a rum cake..or some eclairs for the kids? Why are there NO good bakeries out here???

Clay's Bakery in Berwyn. Amazing cakes. Awesome donuts - the vanilla frosted is heaven in every bite, but get there early as they sell out. Great cookies and cupcakes too. Right on Lancaster Avenue.

My husband and his friends got together this past week. Everyone is ticked about the cold snap. We can ride (carefully) as long as the roads are dry. You just have to watch for the anti-skid. Anyway, no riding in these temps, so they hung out here for a while.
 
True story, DH walks in the house, and I called him my biker husband. He asked why I called him a biker?

The walk, the talk, the H-D boots and T-shirt? Maybe the leather, the hair and beard? Maybe, just MAYBE the motorcycle?

Okay, we are having some problems here. I have chicks that are just not making it. They hatched last weekend. I have lost over half of them. I have never had this happen before.

First of all, I want to say the chicks were not very vigorous. I had to show them multiple times how to drink get water. I put the food on top of the paper towels just like I always do.

Then I started noticing some kind of walked up on there tip toes, while others started to bend backwards. I told my Mom that is looks like we are having chick exorcisms! Its like they are having some kind of nerve disorder, or muscle spasms.

I don't know, but I cried. I had to put some of them down. It just seemed more humane then watching them flop around.

These where not my eggs, they were shipped eggs. Maybe there was a vitamin defincancy or who knows. That's why I feed my chickens like breeders, not just egg producers.

I have no input, and I know I'm a little late, but I'm soo sorry. That is terrible, and I hope you can figure out the cause. Kudos on having the stomach to "do the deed yourself" I just can't seem to, even when I really know I should. Wish you lived closer......

It's terrible when I see the first pip. My last batch was Seramas, and I didn't come out of my bedroom for 2 days. DH asked at one point if I remembered what the living room looked like. LOL! That bator becomes a magnet really quick!
