Also yesterday I put my 26 2 week old Heritage delawares outside with the GLW in the grow pen. Today I'm going to leave them locked up in there so they will go in at night. Only going to chase 31 birds around for 1 night. HAHAHA

when I checked the unpipped one, the other one that had an external pip wasn't moving, its dead! externally pipped and dead! ***! So I am assisting the other one so it don't drown! I think that's what happened to the first one, those stupid watery air cells! Darn it!!!!! Why do Polish beaks and nostrils have to be so oddly shaped too! I am sure that doesn't help!!! awwwwwww I wanted these two to hatch!!!

I hate them!! There dangerous. huge limbs are always falling. It's like a war zone when your back there working. I told the wife those limbs maybe the death of me one day!

Aww poor Wobbles.. He's terrified of me!!!

He has a heart attack every time I reach my hand into the brooder! Well... He is only 2 days old...

Are you reaching in from above or behind? Bird psychology says that a hand from above looks like a predator. Not that it stops me from doing it!

so upset. One of my silkies died in the egg sometime yesterday. I am now down to 1 white one to hatch...I have others (the tan eggs). Yesterday I candles and it was beautiful dancing around. I went in to turn it last night and it felt odd... sloshy. So I did a quick candle and no veins. Distinct blood pool, and lifeless baby chick. Almost like floating in water...way too much movement of the contents.

No clue what could have happened. It was one of my better looking eggs. Decent aircell, active chick etc. Sigh.

In other news we are having trouble with court paperwork. Our custody letters were extended until our next hearing but the judge didn't issue them out to us so we cannot take the baby to the doctor or continue gathering evidence because I have no paperwork...so mad dash scrambling. The delivering doctor has very important information. He was going to fax me a certified letter stating his concerns for the child, his concerns about the parents mental/emotional state and the info regarding why the child was only released from the hospital because a relative of the father signed a safety plan with DFS. Anyway... long story short his secretary noticed the letter of custody expired and refused to send it. He called me last night and asked me to fax an updated one right away stating that I can not go into court without this as he feels it would be unsafe for the parents to even be given a few minutes of supervised visitation. So... today I will scramble to do these things. I had such plans for a slow paced relaxing day today...

To top it all I have been receiving multiple messages from people trying to "help" by making us aware of the drug use by the baby's mother during her pregnancy. It hurts me and makes me wonder why if they knew this did they not tell us sooner? Before the baby was born so we could have been prepared. But its ok. He's here now and that's what matters

Sorry for the non chick\egg ramble. Its all just driving me nuts.
