The worst hatching experience was my chick with an exposed yolk sac. She was doing great until she caught a toenail. I tried to tie it off and clean it and she lived for about 3 days...she just got hollower and hollower. I bawled when she died, because I tried soooo hard to keep her alive.

Worst hatch for me was just a few weeks ago. The first Silkie hen I ever owned (too old to lay anymore) decided to set on the eggs in the laying box. She was so insistent, I let her stay. I did not think they would hatch as she was off them often. One morning as I was running late to work I hurried to the barn for find her just inside the door where she always waits for morning snack. I shushed her away complaining I didn't have time today. I nudged her with my foot and stepped on 5 little silkies chicks. She had brought them to meet me at the door. Well, I was devastated as was she. 2 were killed instantly and the other three were injured. I brought the three to the house and went back to check on her. She was beside herself looking for the babies. I had to go to work, so I brought her in the house to be with the babies under the heat lamp, but she was not satisfied. That evening the babies were still alive but she would not stay in the box. I took her back to the barn. She went to the brooder box and paced under it as she could hear chicks inside. Well I was devastated that at what I had done but the three lived. We named them Faith, Hope and Charity. Two days after the accident I found Prissy sitting under the brooder box dead. I buried her next to the barn. I guess she was too old for the stress.

NOW - no more sad stories tonight......

Too funny! We are a whole family of football fans here.

I wear VT jerseys and take family pics in VT gear and act sooo happy when my husband buys me another VT thing...and when I do watch the game it is kind of exciting now that I'm kinda understanding it. BUT I do it solely for the benefit of my husband. I also have to email him the scores as he is deployed and only can get an email occasionally. It must be love!

You are brave! I don't think I could do 3 at a time. 2 is hard enough!
