calling any one from missouri

[jnjmanning]

Its one of my lone 3 eggs....I really didnt think any would get this far. It is going to be a long day. Didnt get to bed till almost 1 am, found the pip a little after 5am, couldnt go back to sleep. My 3 yr old grandson will be here at 7am uggggggh

Maybe the excitement of new babies will keep you going today... And keep grandson busy.

Plans changed and I can't go home to see them just yet, but dad took a few pictures for me!







So does chicken math completely ignore the "multiply by zero" rule?

 

[EdenCamp]

Zero is a non-chicken-math recognized number.
It's for those unfortunates completely deprived of the feather factor.

I have a PIP

And its way to early for me to be awake. I just got up to go potty.....lol

Congrats!! Your bladder mst have heard chickie peeps!!

 

[Sundial]

I was referring to the fact that I didn't have chickens but really missed being around them, and then suddenly we have chickens! The only problem is that we wanted to get guineas... I wonder if anyone would be willing to trade a few? Even if we gave some away to family members, that's still a lot of mouths to feed and those hens will lay a bunch of eggs we won't be able to eat.

 

[EdenCamp]

Could sell the extra eggs they lay and pay for the feed maybe.
Jacobs cave swap coming up in 3 weeks...
That radio show during the week could announce you want to swap, dunno if they let you sell them.

 

[Sundial]

Selling eggs is a good idea since there's a farmer's market in town pretty often, so we might ask someone how to get in on that. And I personally would rather swap so Jacob's Cave is something to think about. Which radio show are you talking about?

 

[jnjmanning]

Still no chick, just the one pip. There was no temp problem so there shouldnt be late hatchers. Not sure whats going on. Guess I will set my alarm for 5am and see if it makes it out alive.

 

[jnjmanning]

Well I ended up assisting. I have only 1 chick, the other 2 died pipping. The air cells were so bad they couldnt pip the shell and died. They were beautiful dark Polish too. The one who made it out I dont think will be here long. It is very weak. Still wont stand, just lays there and peeps. It is very wet and very tired. I have the brooder ready in case it makes it through the night. After these eggs, I am never hatching shipped eggs again.
