Dixie Chicks

Same here. Was in Aldi's today, eggs $1.50, so I grabbed a dozen to make pickled eggs. Figured what the heck, I'll grab another, wife flipped, "not feeding chickens $50 a month to buy eggs!!" so I put one back....

No water, still no pips (I'll put water in when I see a pip)
But the air cells look way closer just in the day and a half with out water... Not even an internal pip to be seen... Temp must be off or something. These will hatch late... Gah! or not at all!!!

We never put any water in until day 19

Well, we've had rain and +3-4C temps (35-40F) all night, and finally so much snow has disappeared that the chickens ventured out in the morning. They spent a couple of hours picking through places they haven't been able to reach in months.

Just checked up on the bunny too, little Limpy seems to be doing better. He was moving the leg a lot more, even before he got his pain meds. We're going to move him into a slightly bigger crate tonight, and in a couple of days he should be good to return to the rest of the bunnies. I hope he won't be bullied though. Otherwise we'll have to put him down, which would be a bit of a shame since he's improving.

I placed golf balls in the nest today. We should get some eggs in the weekend to set, I hope I get someone to go broody. Soon we'll be candling too =]

Good news on the bunny.


It is nice to incubate white eggs.... I get to see everything that is going on.

However, I have zero patience. Yeah, I know three weeks isn't that long... But the suspense still kills me.
