This is the worst weekend ever in my short time as a crazy chicken lady! My shipment from Ideal didn't show up until 2pm Friday (suppose to be 6am)! One was dead in the box! Since then my death toll is at 12 with another not looking so hot!
Had a set of 14 of my own due to hatch Friday also! 1 quit fully formed and 10 hatched ok! Then it went bad again! One was all zipped last night and could not seem to push the 2 egg halves apart! Then I noticed the foam! I freaked and pull her out! She is fine now! The 2 that were left went 2 days overdue and started bashing holes all in one spot! I established that they were sticky also so....... I pulled out the first one and washed off as much as I could! Then I went to work on baby number 2! I got her all out and then noticed her leg! One of her legs is missing the half after what would I guess be a knee type joint! And she started growing toes there instead! BUT ONLY 2 and they fold up the wrong way!
I seriously want to cry right now! I don't know what to do with her because she pipped herself and is very strong aside from the leg and foot issue! This stinks soooooo bad!
P.S. - Sorry for the rant in the wrong section but I don't know any of those Random Ramblings people!!!!!
