Quote: Lash egg with a shell, they happen sometimes

That "chimney" bit is the tube through which the egg contents go into the membrane at the first stages of the egg formation. Sometimes, like when the hen gets a fright during this stage, the tube stays on like that. I got a similar one years ago, but it didn't stop to get a shell:

Hi Banti!

Hi Liz!

@Wickedchicken6 about the Araucana that would be a girl for you...
The heat lamp is putting a yellow/red/orange cast to him, but he is a brilliant burnt red...comb is already reddening and goes back on the head a little ways in my opinion. Most of my chicks are these low profile type combs, so WAY harder to guess early...

My beautiful and lovey dovey boy Maran. He's got soft fluffy feathers all over him, which according to Facebook when I asked there about it, another's Splash Maran had same soft feathers till around 3 months old then adult feathers came in... I really wish his would stay like that. Glad he like being pet

The Araucana loves to jump out of the brooder and chase all the animals, this one, while bigger and can fly even better-doesn't ever jump out. He runs back n forth jumping on things and freaking the others out till I put my hand inside where he jumps on and waits to be picked up

Why these two have to be boys

My first Hatchlings. <3


...and good morning...and TGIF everyone... now to get my butt ready for work already..,

Lockdown began 5 minutes ago wish me luck! With both of the other hatches I've done this year, I've had 2 babies die right before hatch. Hopefully it doesn't happen this time.
