Thank you for the turner advice Ron & Deb. I can't believe how uptight I am about these eggs. You would think that I had spent more on them than I did!

We always want the to hatch!

They are special though since they are Blue Genetics Langshans.

Remember, not on their sides.

Since I am the turner, that would be me!

We had a surprise yesterday. My BW Am has been sitting on eggs. She is a second time Mama and has done a great job sitting on her eggs. I thought that the chicks were due to hatch this weekend. Yesterday, I went out to rearrange the pens and put her into the secure brooder area. One chick had already hatched and another one was halfway out!

Monet and I carefully moved them into the secure area. She has at least the 2 out this morning. We have 2 more broodies sitting on eggs and I'm hoping that will be it for this year. It seems like it has been going in waves. Several weeks ago, our cute little CL mix Trinket hatched 4 eggs but co-mothered 2 more with one of our Wellies. The Wellie lasted 4 weeks and then left Trinket with the babies. She didn't hang with them during the day but stayed in the small coop with them at night. She has been laying eggs for around 3 weeks. Last week, she deserted her babies and joined the big girls in the big coop at night. She decided to go broody again so after 5 days of her sitting on a fake egg plus any other eggs the girls laid in the box , I went ahead and gave her Pita Pinta eggs. I sure have lots of Pita Pinta chicks to choose from for my breeding program!

Yay!!! Congrats and best of luck wth the BBS Langshan hatch!

Hey guys! Im back and somewhat recovered. I caught something on the plane home and was out for 5 days.

The trip was great but the cursed foxes were at it again when we were away and got my jubilee!

Deb chrissy said you might have some older ones? I have to either find a hen or 2 old enough to go in with him or rehome poor henry he is not enjoying being alone. He can see other chickens and the marans hens sit next to him and chat on occation but he wont be good this way for long .

Niky that silkie looks like it got pecked in the head. Look at the thread wry neck confused about treatment it has everything you can do. But if it is brain swelling and there has been no improvement for days it is not good. You should also be tube feeding or hand feeding and watering 3x a day. It can take a while to get over it ( weeks to months) there is no one cause it is a symptom of 5-6 different things.

Congratulations on all the chicks and babies!
