Falling Down Heights, my daily life

Duck eggs that went through the outage were due to hatch today, but of course they've probably been delayed. Going to candle them tonight and hope for the best.

Welp, looks like only two of them out of the four. One had movement in it for sure, the other I'm pretty sure did too.

Ducks keep escaping their pen!!! And I have no idea how!!! Really frustrating. I herded the escapees back in, gave them their supper, turned around and another was out!

Wow, that's amazing any of them survived the outage! Keep us posted on hatching Wind!

No! I'll keep it all to myself!



(I just got up and haven't had my tea yet. Indoor animals taken care of, though. Didn't need all that screaming at me! Plus, it's raining. Again.)

Candled the eggs in lockdown, and I'm pretty sure I have one internal pip! Could see a little bill making munching motions! If there's no progress tomorrow, I'll make a pinprick air hole. The other egg also had movement. I removed the other two, there was no progress so far as the air cell dropping and I can't see movement.

Candled the silkie mix eggs, and removed the three I was pretty sure weren't developing, plus another that also had no progress. So that's 20/24 for them.

Can't wait for the auction on Saturday! These chicks are getting too big to be indoors anymore, and they eat like horses!!!

And poop like them too.

YUP! What goes in must come out!

Put the air holes in the two eggs. One is definitely internally pipped and moving like crazy! The other is also moving, though not as advanced. Knowing my luck, they'll hatch while I'm at the auction tomorrow.

Got back from the auction about an hour ago, and came home with more money than I had when I went, lol! And I *did* buy stuff.

Some crazy person bought my Gray Call for $85!!! I got him for $20 originally, lol!

Chicks sold for about what I was asking for them online, so that's good. It's so quiet in here now!!! Comparatively...

And sold two dwarf rabbits, also. Surprisingly, the year old buck sold for more than the 3 month old doe.

What I bought:

- a large wooden rabbit nesting box for $12
- a large wire bird cage for $15
- a super-duper large wooden bird cage (which will make a perfect coop for my OEGB) for $60

- and a dozen White Chantecler hatching eggs for $25. I have no room in my incubators! Next ones due to hath aren't until the 29th... Guess Ill just have to make room for them...

Oh, and one of the Power Outage duck eggs pipped!
