Sorry for your loss, but thanks for sharing!

I just found this:
http://www.cobb-vantress.com/products/guide-library/general/embryo-flip-chart/day-1---intro

It has close up pictures of what the embryo should look like each day. Take a look at it, maybe it will help?

Thanks Kathy that chart is great to have I saved it for future use.

I'm supposed to graduate tomorrow, and what do you know, I can't find my list of assignments. Which means I can't finish my work.

Thankfully my teacher is going to email it to me...hopefully soon because I procrastinated a bit lol. I have a lot of work to do.

On another note, my new Tolbunt Polish hen has FINALLY come out of her shell! It's been almost two weeks, but she is finally acting pretty normal. The past two days she has spent her time out and about instead of hiding like she always used to do. She's also eating and drinking on her own now that I've put food and water on the ground. Yay!

My 2 year old does also. But we had a group move in a month or so ago and chased every other bird off the property, even the big magpies. So I had my husband take a couple out when she was in her bath last week so she didn't see. Haven't seen the rest of the little buggers since. Hopefully the pretty, quieter songbirds will come back soon.

Funny thing I have observed here at our place from year to year. We either have Magpies or Scrub Jays but never both at the same time. I haven't seen a Magpie here this year. I have seen Scrub Jays. It must be a territorial thing. I always have Mockingbirds who nest in my grapevines. Neither the Jays or the Magpies must bother them.

That makes me feel better.  We use Oxine in the incubators and brooder for sanitizing.  So the only way the ecoli could have gotten started is via un-washed eggs in the incubator.  

I've dipped eggs in Oxine before incubating and had great results.  I was afraid to do that with shipped eggs so chose not to on the last batch.  I'm sure the 3 eggs from under the broody would have been the culprit.  In the future if I'm adding eggs from under a broody, I shall wash them in Oxine before putting them in the bator.  In fact - ALL eggs may end up getting the Oxine wash.  This cannot keep happening!  Another dead chick this morning.  I hatched 24 out of that batch and I'm afraid they are all going to die!

This chicks are all going on a little vacation into a new rubbermaid and their space is getting sanitized again today!  Hopefully TSC or somewhere is open for a few hours so I can buy the right antibiotic.

So I just learned that there's a flea market here in Anderson with an average attendance of 2,500 people, and chickens can be sold there. Looks like I know what to do with my extra chicks if I can't find homes for them! It's only $8 to set up a table there.

Just to inform everyone in the area, I received an interest for an add I had to get rid of a pullet I thought was a rooster. An add I forgot to take down. Anyways the guy responding wanted to purchase it and wanted to send me a cashiers check of 700 something bucks for a 15 dollar chicken. He called this morning saying the cashiers check would be arriving soon in a middle eastern accent as his photo shows an American looking man. I am 100 percent sure it is a scam for I checked his page and see he is responding to several classified adds. Please be careful. Abraham something for his profile name. I will check when I can get on the computer but for now I'm on my phone and can't view multiple windows to go back. Please be aware.

I had the same thing happen. He wanted 5 dozen hatching eggs and said he was between jobs and wanted name address and etc. to send a cashiers check to me.

He may be part of the group we cannot name since getting an address seems to be the goal. Either that or he wants to scam us somehow.
