Let's play find the chicks:


Tomorrow I go into my son's preschool to set some eggs for them. Meanwhile my daughter's 4H project is going well. By next week, hers will be here too!

It's funny how each group is different. This batch is very quiet & content. Hardly know they're in the family room. Yet, when out of the brooder, they're rather active. Our last batch's peeping could wake the dead - or at least everyone sleeping in the house. They were better for posing, because they simply stayed where we put them. Hope our next batch is somewhere in between.

Isn't it just soooo exciting. I think I was more exited than my kindergartners. Congrats on the strong turnout.

Thanks! I candled my duck eggs today and all 12 have good development

Today I candled with the class so they could see!Now they totally understand why those babies aren't ready to hatch yet...LOL! They commented on the fact that they couldn't see their beak they needed to peck out of the egg

My daughter's project got 91% hatch (21/23) in the incubator & 86% hatch (6/7) from the broody. Of course I'm not sure if one of the broody's eggs was fertile (a clear), so perhaps 100% if we left that egg out. This was one of our better hatches 27 chicks out of 29-30 eggs, but I am barely feeling anything right now.

I’d give anything to turn back the clock to last week when Mom was fine & life was normal. I was so excited about my preschool classes & hatching chicks. Mom had a cold & went to bed Thurs night. Around 3:30am, my dad heard her gasping. The paramedics revived her, but the moment without O2 was too long. The brain did not have enough oxygen, and damage was done. As we waited, only basic reflexes returned. Many people came to visit. The docs recommended we say what needed to be said (final words) but I had none. How can I say Good Bye to my mom? Mom passed away Monday night while I held her hand. She was such a blessing & a major part of our lives, so I am having difficulty. If you have a moment, please say a prayer for my family.

so sorry to heard that. My condolences, prayers for you and your family!
 
Trying to decide if we should be concerned. 3:30 central today it will have been 21 days. No pips, no cheeps, no movement. I wasn't here the last time they were candled, but everyone thought that all was well...
