x 2 - what she said. I've had them hatch just fine, just don't rush them because (as she said), internal and external pip are the same.

thank God for y'all experienced people. I probably would have already killed it trying to get it out if it wasn't for y'all.

So, i'm officially pregnant, according to labs, but my HCG came back at a measly 15. So.. we redraw labs thursday and hope they double, then test again monday.

Me too. I'd walked by him three times and I looked down and there he was sleeping! I'm so glad he was asleep!

I've seen our cat jump right over one at the barn like no big deal.

Nice.

Okay, I'll know more in a couple weeks, wish us luck that it's sticky, and the next 2 labs come back like they need too. This was such a pain in the ass to get to this point.

3 minute mark. I know it's faint, but it's still early!

It appears, even if it's just for today... that I am in fact pregnant.

Congratulations!

I agree with you both.
But some remarks if I may
...
2. I object to the term " inhuman " to describe somthing Cruel. Because the biggest AUTHORITIES in history was made, and ARE made by humans. The Holocaust, ISIS, Caligula, Nero cizar, the inquisition in the Catholic world, the slavery in the US, ect, ect
So please spare me the "moral fasads" of humanity.
...

Stalin and Lenin should never be left off that list, but they always are.

Inhumane is used to describe a human treaty another human or living being unacceptable.

Inhuman is denying the humanity of the person doing the acts.

When someone said the person in the video was doing something inhumane he was not denying the it was a human doing the act he objected to. If the inhuman would have been used, then he would have been denying the person his humanity.

Some southern Albertan on another thread raising rabbits & turning them loose hoping the coyotes will concentrate on them & leave his birds alone

Did I stick my 2 cents in? What do you think?

This won't end well for them.

Morning all.

@BantyChooks My broody hatched out 3 chicks on Sunday. She abandoned the rest of her eggs. I candled and 2 had internal pips, 6 had died in the shell. I put the 2 with internal pips in my incubator and they hatched yesterday afternoon. So my broody has 3 chicks and I have 2 in the house. Hoping she will accept them tonight when I try after dark. This morning she was not accepting of them.

@Fire Ant Farm I'm glad you posted this weekend about your shade shelters. I had not thought of that and I'm going to get some cinder blocks and plywood to make some for my chickens. Thanks!

Congratulations on the chicks, I hope the hen will take them.
