Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[cochins1088]

Pop quiz for anyone who might know, she was bought at a farmers market and was just wondering what she might be as i have never had a chicken before that lays greeny blue eggs??

Yup, I believe she's an Easter Egger. Easter Eggers aren't an actual breed; they are crosses that carry the blue/green egg laying gene.

the egg makes me think EE .. that is what my girls eggs looked like
picture makes me think some kind of EE cross .. but i am no expert

Thanks, now for just one more question whats EE? Lol cant keep up with you young ones and your abbreviations. ( im 23 )

By the way, I went down to go tube feed him again and I noticed that he had less food in his dish.  He must have been eating on his own!  I still gave him water through the tube because his crop felt empty, but then I added some food to his dish and he pecked at it.  Oh, I'm so happy.  I was sure that I was going to lose him.  Thank-you everyone for the prayers!

This is the first time that he has eaten food in a week.

Thats great so happy to hear it

Here's my poor Alexander. It's been exactly 1 week since the fight. I've never seen him droop his tail feather like this before and he's pretty weak. He hasn't eaten or drunken anything since the fight, but I've been tube feeding him to keep him hydrated. I think it might be time to let him go, but he seems so happy with is girls and he looks like he wants to continue on.

oh he looks so sad the poor guy and look how nice he has grown since you showed me a pic of him! awwww

Not to make light of the situation, but isn't that just like a male? Never too sick, or too tired to get the deed done!
