A long, disapointing weekend. but looking foward to Spring!

The green could be poo? My BO chicks had green/yellowish yolk when they hatched.

ya. I know. but i still think it was bacteria, due to the strange color of the yolk and there was also this brownish/greenish ooz around the chick+yolk. Really strange.
But thanks everyone for the replies.
Now what am I gonna post about on here???!!! LOL all i ever did was talk about the egg, but now that it's gone, I don't know what to talk about. Not much happening with our pullets, hens, or roosters LOL.

I guess I will just see what's happening with other peeps now!

77, I don't think you'll have too much talking, LOL. I think we would all like to see pics of all your other chickens. I'm sure you can come up with a million questions about chickens. I'm sure you feel like you don't know what to talk about because of your focus on that egg, but you should give yourself a few days and I'm sure you will feel different

SO sorry, 77 horses. I was really cheering that little guy/girl on! I know a little how you felt as when my eggs hatched (under mama) and she didn't get out of nest for 2 days, I finally pulled her off checked and I had one egg that had a little hole pecked thru the end, including membrane open. I opened it to see what happened also, and still feel guilty I didn't do more to help. The chick looked fully developed, yoke was all absorbed, and I keep thinking it was just trying to get out and no one helped it! Now I believe nature intends the strong to live, the weak to die, so strong species continue. That gets me by. By the way, those 2 foster GJ's and 2 of her's are doing Great! Please keep trying for your little chicks, the next time will be great! Sharon

77, I'm so sorry. :aww I know how much you wanted this chick. Sounds like Dad is on board and ready to build you a coop, so try again next spring and fill it to the brim with little chickies!

Look how much you have learned by this experience!

Keep learning and asking questions.

You're on your way to being a very good momma chicken! Good for you!!!

I'm so sorry to hear 77. Just think of all you have learned so far and how much more you will know by springtime after having read everyones posts all winter long!! We have losses and we have successes and sometimes noone can ever know why but God. Please keep us posted on your new bator and chicken coop as they progress and if nothing else just pop in to say 'Hi'! And yet one more reason to look forward to spring!!

Jane
