Hands on hatching and help

We got 2 layers of clothes under the suit and went out to see how it was going to work...lol He thinks it will be ok. We'll have a jacket and the other costume just to be sure. Both lights at the ears light up, the mega blaster and the energy bar on the mega blaster light up, so he'll be good and seen....lol

Happy Halloween everyone!!!!



That's a great costume!!!!
 
I am so mad that if it wasn't for the BYC TOS I'd be cussing so bad it would be illegible! Went out tonight to finish a project I'd started before the trick or treaters began and found Mr. Q-Tip dead on the run floor. What makes me so mad is that it was my own stupidity that caused it. I'd left a piece of wood out there propped against the side of the run, intending to hang it above the waterer at an angle to keep the chickens from sitting on it. I went into the garage to get the the short length of chain I wanted to use to suspend it, got sidetracked by phone call from my sister, and didn't get back out there for almost an hour. I found Q-Tip trapped under the wood, and it was very clear that there was no saving him - his neck appeared to be broken. I am so stinking mad at myself I could spit - or cuss. I may do both for several days. I can't believe it. I'm not a careless person. I'm not a stupid person. Tonight I managed to be both at the same time, and he suffered for it.

I am so sorry Blooie. Prayers to you for healing.
 
I haven't decided yet.  I'm leaning toward bantam cochins (mille and calico) or seramas...  mainly because of the time of year, I wouldn't have to build a separate pen for those breeds, since I already have some. 

Cool.


That's a great costume!!!!

Thanks. It was worth the effort that went into it...lol He got a lot of great compliments tonight.

:hugs. Sorry to hear that. I felt the same way after I lost my beautiful splash because I put that momma and babies in the silkie coop. I still berate myself from time to time. Don't beat yourself up. You couldn't have known.
 
Thanks. I can't change it. Guess everyone has that 5 seconds in their lives they'd like to do over again. I should have just taken the board out with me when I went to the garage. Live and learn, but by my age I should have already learned it.

Awww I'm sorry too. Freak accidents happen...I know that doesn't help, but I can cuss you too, if you prefer?...

Nah seriously, I'm sorry for your loss. :hugs

:hugs. So sorry to hear this. Don't know if I told this story here already but I was outside with my 1 & 1/2 year old and I was burning wood for some ash for the dust bath for the chickens. I had the run door open and my son wandered in there. I knew he technically shouldn't be in there but didn't think anything bad would happen. Well he lifted up the wooden ramp that leads inside the chicken coop and must have pulled it toward him a little and it fell down. It fell right on top of a paint pullet and broke her neck! I felt so bad and mad at myself. But like Amy said, accidents happen. We can't beat ourselves up. Lots of :hugs
