Granny's gone and done it again

Like a friend of mine would say when we'd see a particularly unattractive woman; "She can't help being ugly, but she could have stayed home"

So that was you two that said that about me!

Did you ever put the couple Tobunt eggs in the bator. I know she only layed an egg or 2 just before this hatch of yours.

no i have 6. some pretty old now.  i dont see the need. they will die

Give um a whirl Hun, you have nothing to lose. You will toss them if you don't set them. Set um & if you don't get a chick you are no worse off than if you haven't tried, please

Shortstack was still an egg! I tapped and it was silent. Tapped and tapped, and nothing. Finally looked at the air hole I made, and I could see movement. Candled to see the AC, to start a zip, and the whole egg is full. So I started picking shell away, Shortstack is peeping. I can't find any space, and can't find the beak. I get some blood, so I go in a different direction. Get a bit more blood, still no beak or head. Finally I peel the membrane where I made the air hole, and there's the egg tooth. I pipped EXACTLY where he would've.

Pretty sure it's a malpo, and probably a pullet egg. It was hard as a rock. He never bled, but there were veins. I want to look for yolk but didn't. Put him back just like that. So, we'll see what happens. I don't want to rush in case there's yolk. If he can't hatch from that, it wasn't meant to be.

Got an egg from each of the new girls today. Leghorns lay a nice big egg!

Poor little fella
Yep. My grandma! We celebrated her 85th bday (a few days early).

Whites, they made the family cake I was talking about the other day. I know it's not like yours, just funny that we were talking about it and now here it is. My aunt made it, but tastes just like Donny's. (I call my grandma Donny.)

And the other cake.

Aww! Well Happy early Birthday to her!

The cakes look great!

roo is silver laced split to tolbunt . different hens

Makes sense now.

One of my neighbours is 93; he still lives in his own house entirely unassisted, drives a car, and raises quail and chickens.

Best of luck with the chick camping, fingers crossed.
