2015 HALLOWEEN Hatch-a-Long, Join us IF YOU DARE!

[sonshine15]

I'm a horrible aweful person! I just dropped the flash light on an egg and cracked it open it had a beautiful baby chick in it and now it's lost because I couldn't leave things alone. No more itchy fingers here I'm not opening the incubator again until thursday, the day after hatch.

Tiffany I'm so sorry! My glasses fell of my face while candling and hit several eggs. I thought only one got hit until.............hatch time............

oh tiffani you are not, we have all done something like that! awww danngit I am sorry awwww, we get you all worked up too. that dont help. ughhhh now let them go, or I will have to hire a plane and some cuffs and break the door down!!!

Tiffany I'm so sorry! My glasses fell of my face while candling and hit several eggs. I thought only one got hit until.............hatch time............

thanks y'all I've learned my lesson for sure. The light only hit the one but that egg rolled into another pretty hard I'm hoping it's ok. On a brighter note the eggs are all active they rolled quite a bit from where I layed them after taking them off the Turner.

Now I gotta run, I have chores to get done today and chicks to move to the brooder!




LISTEN TO ME!!! YOUR NOT HELPING THOSE CHICKS by opening the bator during lockdown unless you need to add humidity!

YOUR NOT HELPING THOSE CHICKS BY PICKING THOSE PIPS! YOUR HURTING YOUR CHICKS!!!

THEY DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!!

DINOSAURS HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF EGGS WITHOUT YOUR ASSISTANCE GOD knows how many years ago,

THESE descendant little CHICKS CAN get out TOO!

THESE CHICKS needed your help the first 18 days, NOT THE LAST 2-3 days !!!!

LET THEM ALONE!! LET THEM ALONE!! LET THEM ALONE!!

DON'T PICK THE PIPS! DON'T PICK THE PIPS!

IF the chick got as far as to have pipped the shell,
99% of the time it will get out of that shell!

DON'T PICK THE PIPS



That's my words of wisdom for the day......

And tiff, dont worry I am sure your other chick is just fine! they are hardier than you think! look at my hatch and the poor abuse they took!

that they sure shouldnt have!

You are not a horrible person, it happens. On my 7 day candling i knocked the viable egg out of my hand and it went flying. I felt so bad I killed a chick.

 

[kguinness76]

LMAO!!! I was kidding!! your on the other side of the country!!!    but I AINT gonna stop no road trip that long!!! 

ok, sometimes they can get very hard to see later on too.

There isnt much you can do for them but let them do their thing, assistance is not going to be needed at this point.  you need to just keep the bator closed and wait and see what happens for now.

I will pray you have some pips soon!    What flashlight were you using again? your cell or do you need a better flashlight to see into them? or are they really dark eggs?

I have a flashlight that came with the incubator kit. I will probably invest in an ova view

So much for chores lol........ I should have put them where they always go... down stairs... I will never get work done!!!!

I still cant believe this many hatched so far! and those fridge eggs were almost a month old I bet!
So I think in there so far is one Godzilla or as luke said "osterich" and Four mixes and the rest are Legbar from all the other coops,
I sure wish I would have basketed them! I only wanted to keep roo's from one coop so dumb there really isnt too many roos in there.





THERE IS ALWAYS ONE IN THE CROWD HA HA HA HA HA





she is one tough cookie!!! at least she thinks so

beautiful mix is a pullet, yay!! she is going to lay a HUGE JUMBO blue egg!!! there are three black ones in there and one that turned out grey with white




I am VERY looking forward to seeing the boy on the right grow, but not sure whats going on with his BIG FEET!

and his head seems really round for some reason... time will tell, but he will be grown out with all the other boys!






This is OSTERICH or GODZILLA, its a BOY, he will be ummm food for the family
these mixes can be sexed by the legs, his arent sexy enough... VERY unfortunate for him





She likes the camera




Also a pullet that will lay a huge blue egg for us! love the look of her, cant wait to see her grow!



this one plays peekaboo

I still feel horrible. I was obviously upset when I got to work and when I was asked what was wrong no one could understand me through the tears.
