Oh, poor mama, still in labor! I hope the remaining pups make a safe and speedy arrival. You are certainly going to have your hands full the next 8 weeks!

This miracle of life stuff, really isn't for the faint of heart. Life is rough. With lots of icky bits. I'd like to complain.

@KikisGirls did you determine that all 3 of your recent balut eggs were duds or are you still holding out hope for 1? Do you feel like you've learned a lot about candling and what a good and bad egg look like inside? Too bad you won't be able to candle the quail eggs like that.

Have you ventured to another market yet?

I'm sure the whelping box smells like a bed of roses and looks spotless

 

[RUNuts]

yeah, well, if it was only confined to the box, we'd be ahead. Running outside and left a trail this morning. And we mopped the floor yesterday! I'm guessing she needed to pee and that triggered the water breaking for the next one.

Ever why they call it a living room?

3 cockerels and 1 pullet, but I'm waiting for their adult feathering to come in and see how the combs develop. Sometimes chicks will fool you.

and counting. Taking bets now.

3 cockerels and 2 pullets. And a surprise to be announced after a word from our sponsor.

Is your sponsor a cleaning fluid manufacturer? Or just a deodorizer?

 

[RUNuts]

Don't get in a hurry. This started at midnight last night. (well, really started a week ago, but that was most likely false labor?) Some of us are exhausted.

The ones last night/early AM. Then 6 hours between pups for the latest addition to our happy little family. ouch.

Momma being a good momma. Not sure if this is her first little. She only needs a little help.
