The Blue Egg layer sage continues!

The one I found still in the shell with now pip stayed in the incubator over night and perked up nicely!

First thing in the morning I checked on the 6 outside and found one cold outside of the ecoglow. I guess they are smaller than most of the ones I hatch. It was cold but its eyes were kind of looking at me, so I put it into the incubator with the last chick to hatch. I took one side off of the ecoglow so that the chicks could make better contact and later set up the big light for them.

The almost dead one was fine and back to normal in a couple of hours and is now back with the others.

They are all doing fine and I have Four Blue ones and 3 Splash ones:





I am off to get them some Chick vitamins and plain yogurt!
Whoa all that hatching drama. Shew! Congrats! They are so adorable. :D

Congrats! They are gorgeous. Please put me on your list when you have some to sell, I have been following the "Arkansas blue egg layer" thread on them. I love genetics!
 
Good luck with your kitty. It sounds like all the problems are manageable however.
Rons right you have a while before you have to put them outside. Look on cl for building materials, sheds or used coops! You never know what will pop up.


Thank you! Those are great suggestions. Wash is in surgery now for the abscess, and they're doing blood work on his heart murmur. Please send good wishes that it isn't heartworm, which they said is fatal in cats (eta I just did some research on feline heartworms and 1) I don't think he has them. I hope! He doesn't really have any symptoms, and heart murmur wasn't mentioned as a symptom. and 2) It didn't say that it was always fatal, but that a lot of cats get rid of them on their own. But sudden death is a symptom. Eeesh.) . I can't imagine losing him :hit He's only six. He was my buddy for years while I was a single mom, been through 10 moves. He's such a good little soul.

I've been checking craigslist! We also got info on some places you can get reclaimed lumber. Our landlord actually has everything we would need and more sitting out here all covered and dust and droppings, but when we asked about it he put off answering us until he comes to fix our ceiling, which he's been saying he would do since December. It's so frustrating to see it just sitting there! But it isn't ours.
