EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

He's doing great! Doctor and midwife say that he's perfect and healthy, and I've actually had a pretty easy time of it so far. 10 weeks and 6 days until he arrives!



Yay! We're both having boys. Mine's due this year though.
I think ALL OBs say that, but in your case it sounds like a silly thing to say.

My nephew was born November 4th so you won't be far off that. I am glad to hear you are both well. Some people struggle so much when they are pregnant. My sister was sick almost her whole pregnancy with the first two. The third one was just harder on her physically, and they scared her with worries about the baby who was born fine.

I'm glad yours is doing well - i'm a high risk pregnancy, Shots, suppositories, lots of extra ultrasounds. babies and I are almost always fine - but I tend to gain more weight with boys, than my girls, and have more trouble carrying boys for some reason.

Must be a hormone thing??? lol

Both my girls were no-event births, smooth sailing.

both of my previous boy births, were extremely traumatic. So maybe this one will go easy on me and break the trend.

@Pensmaster How did all those broodies turn out?

and prayers
Could be hormones, I have had animals and known animals that only have one gender.
At the ranch I worked at one summer they had a 22 year old male that never had a colt 15+ fillies.
I have two does like that. One has all doelings, the other all bucklings, and one that has always had one of each, and several that mix it up.

Two still at it. Second time around for one.

Here she is for second time. It's really hot here and the box doesn't offer much for shade. On hot days she's out and about.

That's always awful to hear, lots of prayers your way! Our cousin's fiance was high-risk, so I know it can be really hard.

Any chicks?

 

[Akrnaf2]

Yes

I am sorry to hear that.

Any chicks?

Too many. Several in brooder now. She should be hatching soon if they didn't get too hot. Just thinking this morning I should not have bought that incubator.
