Naw, mine is a God made theory. I let him handle the weather, I handle the little things I can control.

I realy think that you need some Sunshine. .....

i thought you had one due over the weekend?
i remember you worrying about the temps

I thought so, she must have cycled again while I was on vacation in the Tetons and Yellowstone. So before I got home on the 29th.
She is a big doe that did not breed last year I think because he was too young but she's as big as my buck now. So I had her living with him on notice because if she didn't get bread she was going to be gone.

Well... I candled. 2/14 showed possible signs of life. One of them had veins attached to the shell this early in incubation? Is that normal? From broody experience, the veins stay on the yolk for the first week. I am really excited for baby chicks!

I am not experienced enough to tell you except to refer you to the notes on page one.
Go chickies!

Here she is, she is the biggest doe I have. She was not very pregnant yet in this early November shot. Gwen is just built like a pretty tank. My Oreo goat.

She makes 7 month old Rosemary behind her look awful tiny.
