Sorry to hear that your last hatching attempt was a failure. I am starting to wonder why the last 2 of mine have been singletons? 1/7(RIR)in lockdown and then 1/3 in lockdown for the Araucanas. Although I am only on day 22 with the Araucanas, there may stiill be hope but I am highly doubting it. Good luck with the puppies. I envy you being able to have them. I tried twice with very good bloodlines and neither took. Then personal issues got in the way and I decided it would be best if I put it on the shelf. It has been great getting to know you in the past few threads. We have had a lot of ups and downs together. I did a BAD thing last night and bought another dozen+ Heritage RIR eggs off of ebay. I swore I was not going to do shipped eggs again but I just couldn't resist that BIN button...LOL. If this set doesn't work out I will probably be done until my own birds mature enough to start laying their own eggs next year. It will probably be around Feb/March so it looks like we will be hatching buddies again in the near future. God Bless and keep in touch.

Honestly i am more and more thinking its the eggs themselves for the most part from shipping..I feel Some are really sensitive to the jogging around and others not as much...
I think someones idea is the best ....put in a control group of your own eggs or local and see if THEY hatch.Then you can be more sure if its shipping or some problem with the incubating.you have local in now dont you?From that guy who brought them?
ARe thye due to hatch now or later Interested to see how you do on them.
Im sorry your dog breedings didnt take. It is a lot of work these pups are so very big .This might be my last breeding b/c of that. My 4th of the mastiffs.
Breeding I have lately decided better to just take them in to artifically inseminate. Not that expensive like ppl .... $60 so that way i can be pretty sure it works.Jackson is sort legged and he is willing but I wonder at his sucess rate with Betha (the mom ) 0 for 2 LOL.
But she is tall ..
He has high sperm count the vet said.
However last time (both their first time) they also mated once and had 12 puppies so to me thats the way to go
I will be with you here in Feb March In fact Pm me which week as i am doing my own eggs from my Lo;s then for sure if not some shipped... and i can do it the same weeks as you do.
Will you be doing your own too?I know your girls will be laying when mine do about Jan.
i feel as if you are a friend b/c we have gone thru a few hatches now. together months of talk ..... well and the dog preference too.
I am sure we will talk on some threads later too or this one .as i learn more each time i watch others hatch.

OK I have to show my Catdance Silkie babies off too! These are from paint and lavender marked eggs. I got two partridge and a white from the paint eggs, and two for sure lavender and one that I am unsure what color it may turn out. Hopefully lavender though because I lost one of the "for sure" lavenders.

Here are all six:



This is Mr. Attitude and he is white:





This is the darkest partridge:





This is the lightest partridge. I think I am going to name her Cleopatra because of her eyeliner!





This one is Lady Gaga, she is the one I am not sure about the color (maybe porcelain) though she came out of a Lavender marked egg:





And this is the Lavender, he is quite the poofy little strutter!





I mean how cute are they???? I so love these babies!!!!

Here is my #13 hatch. It only unzipped 3/4 by itself... but it kept looking at me and chirping so after 12 hours or so, I unzipped it the rest of the way and it got itself out. So, of course I shouldnt have helped...usually if they cant get out...it is a sign, right? Well, this liitle guy has one leg that splays out to the side. I have a splint on it. It is difficult to make out from the picture, but it is almost like the entire left hip is out of socket. Even when braced, that left side heaves when it tries to move. Are they any other fixes that I can try?

I have one that sounds the same. I hatched its self though with no problems though. After talking with people I thought it might be a slipped tendon but now I think it is in the hip. Does yours rock back with the foot up? Also I am seeing the foot looks a bit swollen but the toes work fine. I can see that using the fix for splayed legs will work as it holds the leg up and out, not just out. Other than manipulating to check the tendon and see if I could find the problem I havent done anything. I was hoping it would improve but it is looking worse ;(

Brooks that's terrible! Get out of her brain satan!!! God give her a peaceful, sweet, birth for her babies and no more bad nightmares for her. Amen.

TY for the prayers. The last 2 hatch-alongs I was on people were saying they were having bad chick dreams and I told myself I wouldn't stress myself out over an egg. Well this time around I am paying for it....LOL.
