prnsbuttcluck left a cute little limerick style poem about humpty -
Humpty Dumpty fell on the floor,
Sally feared he was here no more,
She picked him up, gave his boo boo a wrap,
He chirped & wiggled & we all said HOLY CRAP!
and is getting a few of the silkies sally hatched out



rockashelle stopped by and offered encouragement for sally and humpty
and is all unpacked and starting on the coop when she gets back from texas -- her son is graduating from Air Force boot camp !! YAY ! Congrats!!

Doug is still anxiously worrying about his goose eggs.. anyone with help there? Waiting for him to candle and get back to us





Rennerae finally checked in and got her addy to sally for the eggs (right before sally chucked them into the woods(or her bator cause we all know sally)
Renne gave us the introduction she hadn't got around to yet (see post # 13957)
and is doing the happy dance for the eggs heading her way !! and has just reached the "just hatched" status - yay renne !! and good luck with the adoption !!

I went to candle. I have internal pips and one external and those little boogers are active in the shell. I only looked at 4. Woohoo. The hatch has began. We will have goslings.

Yay!

I LOVE baby goslings.

I'm really hoping that I can get some of my eggs to hatch. I have a limited amount of eggs since I only have 1 goose.

As usual, great job Silver!

I love these summaries!

Okay, I don't think it's gonna be able to make it out on its own. I opened an area around the face, mostly just shell. I had an itty bit of blood, so it's back in the bator. Really long story, but I drilled a tiny hole in the air cell and baby is really bagged up on that end. I saw plenty of veins from that side, so, gonna wait a while.

This is my last hatch for the season!!!!!!!

gardening momma i hope assisting goes ok with that little one !!!

 

[cochins1088]

Ok, I set some more eggs. 3 EE, 15 LF cochin, 6 bantam cochin, and 2 sebastopol goose eggs. The other goose egg was set a week ago and it isn't developing. I think it froze before I collected it.

Finally got all 4 kids to bed & read Sally Sunshine's Hatching 101. Thank you so much for posting that all of its great info. I'm feeling more confident about hatching chicks for the first time
