Y'all are right about the black sex links.

What was I thinking? There was a reason I got the BAs?

Because they (BA) are really great layers, especially winter laying.....and they are pretty nice birds to boot!

Ok. Pearls going to try to post pics in a minute. I was told it was two ee and I threw a pic of the silkie in just in case someone wants to take a guess. They are four weeks old tomorrow. Kinda young but maybe y'all can tell. I'm leaning towards either one of each or two roos. I could do without the roos so maybe I'm wrong. Hopefully.

Well 2 of my headed to freezer cockeriels have disappeared. Been gone since yesterday.

They flew the coop!

glad you liked the pictures . A little odd posting them here but I hadnt seen them either. kinda cool .
Just took DD home . one more infusion in a month then every 8 weeks. was a big beautiful orange sun ball that followed us all the way to her house . Hurt my eyes to look for just a second but everyone else really enjoyed it.

What is the infusion? For you or DD?

Y'all will be happy to know that I didn't touch the broody today. If I'm right, Wednesday will be 18 days. That's when I'll probably be going nuts. Sure wish I could hear. Gonna be hard on me just to sit there and watch trying to see a little head pop out. I know I shouldn't pick her up. I may need a baby sitter from Wednesday till they all hatch. I'm not very good at this. I want to jump in and help her but I know that would make things worse. I've done and got myself excited again. Dream I died with cancer last night after our discussion on here. In my dream before I died I was wanting to see the baby chicks hatch first but I didn't make it. Nobody told me that byc would give you nightmares.

When the eggs start to hatch, a lot of moisture is released, but the broody captures it all and keeps the humidity just right for hatching. If you take her off while they hatch, you can lose the humidity, roll the eggs, and risk messing things up. Once you get to day 18, do not expect her to get off the nest. It's okay if she does, but once she hears peeping, she will generally stay put. Put the food and water within reach if you are worried, but best to not disturb her.
RESIST THE URGE TO PEEK!

Any change on the contest? Sure hope wishing can hang on to the led.

Thanks red. I haven't looked.

Can't speak for anyone but myself - just had a lot on my mind and some things going on in the offline life that required my attention.
