Oh I haven't checked giving him a day of rest, he had a hard time, with all the gooy stuff, I may have to bathe him if he doesn't fluff up. You can see his head is flat and that was after several hours of being out of the shell.

Oh, sweetie...I'm so sorry. :/ I hope your one remaining little guy pulls through!

Tomorrow is day 12 for my little babies! I swear I saw two in one egg! Lol, I'm not certain though! My boyfriend was watching me candle them and we said it at the exact same time! Gah, I would be so excited if that were true and they both made it out!

Ahhhhh!!! I love his/her markings on her head! A bit different than grays!

They love climbing on the bunny and they always hang close to its rear end. What is it with butts??

So, as all of you know, I have Perdy's first 6 eggs in the bator (we are on day 11). Well, she also has a clutch of 8 eggs and growing outside in her little nesting box in their coop

Two questions: 1) when will she start to set? I mean she already has 8! Lol, she is SO tiny! I don't know if she can even fit on all she has! I was thinking maybe 9, at the most! She lays every egg with her other eggs in her nesting box. She checks on them often throughout the day. She shuffles them and cleans them every day. I think she will be a great momma. Is there normally an average number that Calls set on?

2) how to tell if her eggs outside are still fertile with the recent drop in temperature? Last night and tonight, it dropped down to the twenties. I went and checked every egg this morning, not one single crack or anything in any. They are all fertile, with the blood halo. And, each have been doing wonderfully thus far. How can I tell if the cold has affected them? I'm wishing, hoping, & PRAYING that it hasn't!
