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

Well candle those eggs!

3 with the rings of death and the rest clear as a bell.

Well, I guess lesson learned. Now I just might as well start collecting more of my Production Red eggs. Have people that want them anyways!! Guess I wasn't meant to have those other chicks.

Yea, I just think of the wasted $45. That could have gotten me my 100ft of wire I need to finish fencing the roos side of the area I'm working on.

I "should" be gettin Sally's eggs today! Ugh stupid phone won't find me the happy dance button... You will just have to imagine... Boom chicka boom la la la ...er. Something like that.

Yesterday when I woke up it was 62 degrees... This morning it is a whopping 32. From almost 90 degree weather to barely 40 today... AND my heater seems broken. Blowing cold air. It's MAY dang it! I don't want to pay to fix my heater in May!

HAPPY FRIDAY! I'm waiting so very patiently for eggs and then I will have something to keep me occupied for a while... Seven kids isn't enough I guess.

Oh, I think I've done a bad thing... I bought three ducklings way back before Easter I think. they hate us. They absolutely think they are chickens. So... Do I let them be chickens? Or force them to be ducks? They had there own little duck house as a pre feather place before we were going to let them out to the pond. But the chickens have adopted them and they now follow the chickens into the barn at night. DH made them a mock roost out of old tires and they get as close to those chickens as they possibly can up on the tires.

I really want to hatch some ducks for the kids. They wanted duckies to follow them around the yard and play around the pond with. I guess you have to hatch them yourself to get that type of bond? Oy... The messes I create

. They are much bigger now and not so loving.

And here... This is Matilda the chicken. She lays me a tiny egg every day almost, and Addyson will only eat her eggs. They are little girl eggs and she is a little girl she says...

.

. And yes by the way we do chores in TuTus around this house.

Silver,
Can't remember WHEN I put the egg in, but I think they are due this week or next week... Yay! I have never done a duck hatch, so I'm happy to see how it turns out. My paper is almost done. I will post the chicken one, but I don' think all you BYCers would like to see my Secretariat paper... LOL

Okay, everyone, The Worry Warts back!! Last night was a busy hatching night, but now it's really quiet in there, that's why I'm worried. Eggs were pipping and zipping so quickly, with no problem at all, but there are 4 that are just sitting there now, no pips, silent. 2 are Sally's Blue/Gold Partridge Brahmas, and that's why I'm worried. I don't want to lose those chicks!!! It's only day 21 today, but you know, they all seem to hatch at once, so do you think I should candle/tap to make sure they haven't pipped internally or something. Someone please be the voice of reason for me!
