Awww, Blooie looks just like Blooie - a little puffy and kinda gray now! Thanks!@Blooie I thought I had taken better pics of my Blooie for you, but now I can't find them if I did. After the "incident" I forgot I had taken some and I fear they might have gotten cleared when I was clearing pics from the IPad. I will get some better ones too, but for now, here's my Blooie. (Cayden has claimed him/her as his favorite, lol)
Well I put my jubilee orpingtons and welsummers into lockdown yesterday and tonight one of the jubilee's have externally pipped. Looks like they may be here a little early. Hopefully this will be an easy hatch that doesn't need any assistance lol. Wish me luck.
Good luck indeed!Well I put my jubilee orpingtons and welsummers into lockdown yesterday and tonight one of the jubilee's have externally pipped. Looks like they may be here a little early. Hopefully this will be an easy hatch that doesn't need any assistance lol. Wish me luck.
Can I complain a little again? In a thread a member said they have five hens and one rooster and all their hens' back are completely bare, and asked if they should separate the rooster. I of course said yes.
Then two more posters came in and said "Oh no, don't worry about it, keep letting your rooster overmate your hens, you know, as long as they get along with the rooster." Two! And these were not new members. Both have been around longer than me!
That and I had a brand new member come into a thread and start arguing with me that a red sex link hen was a new hampshire hen. When I pointed out the obvious fact that the hen wasn't colored right for a new hampshire at all they came back with "well their colors fade as they get older". Just
This keeps happening to me lately and it's getting really frustrating. There was also the one person who refused to accept that their polish cockerel was a cockerel even though at three months it had huge pronounced wattles and a swept back crest. The poster's response was that it wasn't crowing and its crest didn't look like their other polish cockerels' crests. Then they proceeded to post a picture of one of their 'polish' cockerels to prove me wrong and...it was a brabanter. Which I told them. But nope, they then just dug their heels in and insisted that it was a polish!
Anyway. I feel better getting all that out. Lol. Sorry. Carry on.

I always wet the membrane before pulling the membrane so I see the veins. Did you try that? I do get bleeders sometimes regardless.I found the beak through the membrane. I started at the air cell and worked my way down. I tried to make a hole in the membrane for it to breath and it started bleeding. I staunchest the blood but it was to much. I really tried though..
I guess I have been really lucky. I have a whole bunch of chicks due at different times this week. I hope these all go well. This hatch has definitely shaken me.
Nothing wrong with a little venting!
Good luck! I think it's a good sign you've already got pips!
Hey guys, these are my duck eggs. You can see the beaks in the air cell and in person i can see their bill tapping against the egg. I know this sounds sill but this is internally pipped right?
@RavynFallen
Im going to message these to you in case you dont see them here. Thanks.
