Here is Hope;



"Why must you stick this thing in my face??"

What gender is he/she??? I think it's a girl.

Last time I tried feather sexing I ended up with a roo named Heide

. If I remember correctly... it's been awhile, he's feathers were long with short ones in-between, not all long, like Hope's ones. So I'll vote "Girl". fingers crossed I got it right this time LOL

She's adorable! Any sign of external pip form her buddy yet? I'm off now, but I'll pop in in the morning. Please update through the night?

No, no pipping yet, but I saw another one that is alive when I candled, but the one I originally saw movement in was still... I saw the beak moving around in the air cell a LOT in this one though! I am praying that he doesn't take as long as Hope did. She is so adorable. :3 I hope it hatches soon. It's day 26 now!!! LOL How does this even happen???

Our chicks are so curious and friendly that I am afraid they are all boys! That or they just got use to our voices while in the egg and think we are their mommas!

Chickens have the worst timing!

Yes, protein helps. I don't know if it will make them recover faster, but it can only help. Cooked egg, meat scraps, tinned tuna, cat food, meal worms...

CAT foor and tuna I get them cheapest

sumi you forgot the unlucky neighbor that falls in the coop ... lmao that counts as protein too

OMG you crack me up!!
