Shad are you going to do a necropsy on it?

Thank you DobieLover. I appreciate that. That really makes me feel better because you’re right, I felt kinda obligated, like I should find out what killed her, but I just couldn’t do it. With the hawk attack on Penny, I knew right away it was some sort of predator but with this one I have no idea so I kind of felt like I should find out but I just can’t.

One of the eggs is hatching!!!!!
I know most of you are rolling your eyes thinking "whooptie do" but I've never seen a chick hatch and this little one will be the very first to hatch here from our own chickens!! I'm super happy for my little broody girl!
I didn't even know one was hatching and went in to feed Barb. She ate some from my hand and then I lifted her wing and saw the piece of egg shell under her and then saw the chick pushing at the tear in the membrane! There should be a baby in the morning. Geez!! I'm stupid excited about such a natural, simple thing.

You will have a hatched chick much sooner than that!

You have every right to be stupid excited Dobie, enjoy! (And take a picture of the little one when you can.)

I forgot I can spy on her with the brooder cam.
She's really moving around. I also wonder if the others know what is going on because they are peeking in on her through the brooder run pop door, she can see them and is puffing up and clucking at them.

Tonya, that feeling never leaves ya...every time I hatch I have the same wonder and awe that I had as a 7 year old!
