HALLOWEEN Hatch-a-Long 2016 w/ Hosts, Mike, Sally & BantyChooks

Here was first day, then a few days later with my Araucana Boy... only boys seem to survive for my hatches lol

I do wonder if it will be as "bad" as "they" are saying. I love winter, and I love snow, but I do worry about how the animals will fai sometimes.

I can't take a bad winter alone.

5 chicks so far. I found the little yellow one that hatched yesterday outside the nest box. Apparently it couldn't get back in to momma! I picked it up to dispose of it, and it moved! Poor thing was mostly dead. Cold, stiff, couldn't peep. So I tucked it into my hand and held it till it warmed up to my hand temperature, and then stuck it back in when momma took the two oldest chicks to eat. I just checked again, and it is moving around just fine now. Yay! Still 6 more eggs to go.

Oh gosh, you guys are so speedy!!!

Anywho I plan on doing a candle tonight to see what eggs are developing. Oh I'm so excited!!!

My last EE from this hatch was out when I woke up this morning!



unfortunately it had a small piece of shell under its eye lid. I flushed with saline, but the eye is still crusting over every couple hours and the corner of the eye turns up at the back. otherwise it's a very healthy chick.

Indian Runner eggs only have 12 more days to go

I was planning on setting 10 Welsh Harlequin eggs last night, but that has been delayed- I discovered to my horror that 5 of them had been made into egg sandwiches I'm going to have to wait for a few more to be laid.
