grannys gone and done it

[Granny Hatchet]

Sally, you got a boatload of fluffy cuties! What do you do with all of them?


Granny, nothing happening with the eggs under the cochin. Those were the last ones set and all were developing at the 10ish day point when I candled. They were in the video showing the movement. They were also fiercely fought over and moved around until I settled them in a box and Bunny took over regular care. I'm not giving up yet. If I candle tonight, is there a way to tell if they're dead?

hard to say, depends on the day. something you should see if they are getting ready is draw down, internal pip, veins mostly gone. Theres the float test. I have never done it but heard it works. and tap and listen. theres probably more

oh I forgot!


the veins at the top of the air cell will sorta drop down and disappear in death, sorta like all the blood rushing down to yer feet and lower parts if nothing to push your blood around. plenty of pics here

Thanks granny and Sally! That will help, and I will leave them under her for a couple more days at least. With all the egg stealing, some got cool, but the one that hatched today makes me think these later ones are still just cooking. I didn't write anything down, of course, but they were laid/set at least 4 days later than the first ones that hatched. I was hoping to put them in with the others in the house as long as the older ones aren't picking on them. Otherwise, mama Bunny will move into the garage cage and raise them up!

Both boys are feeling crappy tonight. They are probably needing something nourishing. Tri-tip and baked potatoes tonight. That ought the perk them up! Got to get dinner going!
