CBarrett - How are teacup and chicken nugget doing?

Anyone have a running count so far as to the current day's hatch?

 

[Melissa Rose]

I have my first pip

Now I can relax a little

Once you know they are still alive in there

All 7 are out now including Hollywood 0 I intervened since it was over 36 hours since the external pip and it was not making any progress. All seems to be good all the yolk was absorbed it took about 10 mins for it to detach from the shell with its umbilical cord but did it finally! Now just resting in the bator all alone - the other 6 are fluffballs now and running the house already!

- 7 babies duckies to join the other 3 - 5 week olds when they get bigger!

Yes, I have gotten those before too, but I wasn't expecting that..this little one has green as green can be legs..soo, it's an EE. He also sells barred rock, SLW, GLW, but haven't seen anything for EE's or Marans...oh well, no puffy cheeks, came from a light brown egg. The mystery chick needs a name.

You sell eggs..hmmm, will have to go check your web site... hey wait..you don't sell Auracaunas by chance do you? There was a similar name to yours selling some on here, but had DH name..I would guess..along with a Debbi..not Deb

OOOhhhh, speckled sussex! That is one on my list, along with the Auracauna.

RaynDebi have the rumpless birds, nice folks. I will be offering Ameraucanas once I get my flock very soon. I sell most of my eggs on BYC auctions. Thanks for asking!
I am up to 14 Xmas chicks hatched, one BCM, a bunch of LO, and two silkies from Marie. Woot!:-D

Kizanne - not good. Teacup is too weak to stand now and just won't eat. Nugget has intestines hanging out. Totally freaked me out and it made me sick to my stomach (that I can't do anything for him). I had to put him back in the box and just let it go. I cried all morning while baking and putting together food for tomorrow. I did the best I know how, but somehow I think I'm just prolonging the inevitable when I try to "doctor" them up. This is EXACTLY why I didn't become a veterinarian - I get sooooo emotionally involved with each and every one!

On the bright side, we do have 16 beautiful and healthy chicks that are doing great.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I hope all your hatches are healthy and stress-free!

Sorry to hear that. I'm glad though you have 16 healthy ones.


Melissa Rose what an incredibly generous offer!!! I totally wanted one but you've given me a much better gift with your support today.

Oh dear, I was afraid that was what the problem was but didn't want to say anything in case I was wrong. Sorry this happened to your babies. Hope you will give the rest some chicky and feel better.
