It will, shame, such a pretty little thing too. The boots should sort it's feet out quick though. Good luck with her!

Water's risin!

Seriously though, we have flood warnings and the rivers are almost over. And it's trying to snow

A late May Noreaster.

LOL It's supposed to be Spring by you and Winter by us, but tell that to the weather! It's warm here.

HELLO CHICKEN WORLD!
I LOVE SPRING!
I also love the fact that my coop is almost finished! When my dad is finished with it (kind of gave up on building it by myself) it will be as sturdy and safe as a bomb shelter! He is going to even cover the whole thing in the material they use to make the "giant marshmallows in the fields," so no wind and water can get in. Also, there is going to be shingles, and a netting over top of the run! I am now just waiting for him to get home. He lives in the middle of Canada!

Onions, which are shivering outside. Oops, I guess I should go rescue them

Ok...it's day 24 and I have one egg still alive! I opened the air cell up and it's still got veins and red quite a bit. I didn't break the inner sac I just wetted it with a qtip. Also it's upside down. I took the whole top off of the air cell looking for the beak but it's nowhere to be found. so it's 3 days late, not ready to come out, and upside down. Blah! I just wet the membranes and put it back. Anything else I can do?

Boots for curled toes. I hope it works! Its having trouble walking around in these things is that normal? Almost like trying to walk in a set of swimming flippers.

I would assume that it is normal. That chickie is adorable too!

A new meaning for a box of chicken. 48 chicks and 3 turkey poults

Going to have to start culling.

The buffs follow me everywhere. I guess I brought it on. I drop them some feed.

AHHH NOoOoOo TOO CUTE!

My.morning started off really gross. my stupid broody hen jumped nesting boxes and i didn't realize it, and collected eggs, very excited thinking my Wheaton AMs were laying.( you probably know were this is going

) well i was fixing breakfast before and cracked open the egg and the was a cooking chick :0 grossed me the heck out. now im going to try and break this crazy nest jumping hen, no chicks for her due to stupidity. hope everyone else is having a better day.

AHHHH!!!

Yup!

Uh-oh. That is a question for Sally. Can you see it still moving? Like, is it wriggling around the membrane? Without trying to open the incubator, try and take a picture of the membrane. Maybe you can look at that and try to assume where the beak is.

At least it is still alive. Good luck!

Onions can overwinter I am pretty sure. They like the cold. I direct planted my sets earlier in the spring. Whereabouts do you live?
