[sumi]

Thursday's day 7 , but went and candled 2 eggs to to check development. Both eggs had the nice 2 black peas in there and veins forming. So far all good!

I had my money on you candling Wednesday. You were more impatient than I expected! LOL Sounds good so far...

Ok, nobody got the Victor/Nora joke. *le sigh* it's tough being a geek sometimes.
(from wikipedia)

Mr. Freeze is introduced in the episode "Heart of Ice", which won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in an Animated Program.

​

Mr. Freeze depicted in Batman: The Animated Series.​

​

According to flashbacks, cryogenic scientist Victor Fries was working for the company Gothcorp and embezzled funds for an experiment in order to save his terminally ill wife Nora Fries by cryogenically freezing her until a cure could be found. However, Gothcorp CEO Ferris Boyle (voiced by Mark Hamill) broke into the lab with guards, demanding an end be put to the experiment. When Fries desperately grabbed a security guard's pistol and aimed it at Boyle, the corrupt CEO kicked Victor into a table of chemical beakers filled with cryogenic substance, leaving him to die. But he survived and was severely mutated by the substances. Unable to live outside subzero conditions and incapable of feeling emotion, he must wear a cryogenic suit to survive, which also triples his strength. In the present day, he now calls himself 'Mr. Freeze' as he leads a band of henchmen and makes several raids on GothCorp, stealing the parts for a freezing machine he wishes to build and use in his vendetta against Boyle.

I switched feed (Production Reds) on them this fall. Went from laying feed, because of the 2 roosters in there, to Purina Flock Raiser. All of a sudden I noticed this week that there eggs are getting smaller.

So I'm going to switch back to the Purina Laying feed. Maybe just the winter months had an effect on them. But won't think so. Never happened before. All hens are only 14 months old. When I first got the Delaware a few months ago she was laying HUGE eggs. Now there the smallest. So must be with the feed. That's all I can think of.

Hmmm I don’t know. I know I just got it out a few hours ago but things are not looking so good. I have placed it alone in a box with a heat lamp next to the brooder that it’s siblings are in. I gave it a bath, wow it was a dried up stiff mess. I tried helping it straighten its legs. It didn’t seem to mind but would curl them right back up. I am wondering if I should have played God with this one. I tried to dip its beak in water and it started doing that gagging thing. Sticking its tongue out unnaturally. It did not look like what they usually do when they drink. It stopped chipping for about 5 mins after that and kept its mouth open a lot. It is back to chirping but check out those legs. Not sure what to think.

The last chick I helped did that too. She had her one leg twisted up to behind her head and her toes were all over the place. For hours afterward she wouldn't stretch her legs or straighten her toes. She's fine and walking now!

Don't worry about giving him water for now. He's been through a lot with this hatch, so leave him to recover for a bit and try again later.
