if there is movement is should be ok, I don't see a pip? could you see its beak moving in there?

Its not the testing part that has me worried, she said she will work with me with the property stuff. Its the future and weighing the probability of disease in a flock and the probability of causing major money flow from our already empty pockets if it would ever happen. I refuse to look at only the positives and not negatives you know me! What I am doing now is searching Inet for some sorta lists or locations of US Poultry diseases, I cant find anything so if anyone else can I would love to see what goes on around our country. This information should be somewhere I would think. Or do you have a link chicks?

What about liability insurance?? It might be really cheap; it might not, I have no idea but might be worth a phone call to an agent. You can't be the only person that is at risk of being liable if their flock got AI or something really bad that would have the USDA at your door.

So far I have 5 healthy Millie Fleur D'uccle's,

today is day 21. I have an egg that has been zipped since yesterday (it was the first egg even pipped) hasn't made on progress today. Should I be concerned and try to help it or just wait ? I hope the other 3 MFD's hatch and the 16 Buff laced polish. Guineas are on day 16, then I have silkie, cochins(frizzle and smooth), polish (frizzle and smooth) and showgirls in the other incubators.. I am so enjoying this hobby, of course my DH not so much...

I wouldn't have slipped in a kennel I have stepped in dog crap in my bare feet more than once in my life! and trust me if anyone can suck it up and take it, its me.

If it makes you feel better- I had chicken poop in my dryer. My DH left it open yesterday (full of clean clothes) after taking his work clothes out. I guess the chicken thought It would be a great place to take a nap. When I pulled out the clothes to fold them I found a "surprise", I wondered why the clothes smelled funny.
