What a tough night. My single Araucana chick was doing fine since it hatched and then last night I heard distressed chirping and went it to find the poor chick having seizures. On its back and legs sticking straight out. When I rolled it over it's head actually flipped all the way over and was laying on his back. I tried electrolytes, vitamins and a mash (which it did eat) but sadly to say the poor chick passed away shortly after.

On a good note, I woke up this morning to 3 more Silkie eggs pipped and one totally zipped but not hatched yet. I see movement so I know it is just a matter of time. The 2 pips from yesterday have progressed a little more but still no signs of zipping. Nothing on my Marans eggs so far.

So sorry to here your news, must have been so distressing for you to see as well as for the chick. Congrats on the Silkies hatching though,

Okeeeeedokeeeeee!!!! What a couple of days ......

.......... and during this time we're thinking of getting more goats and becoming goat milk suppliers ...... sooooooooooo here's some pics :

Sorry about the iphone pics, but it's the best I could do tonight. Here is our only Black or Blue Copper Marans (somebody can let me know if they know what). I would say this is a pullet, but that may just be wishful thinking ... LOL




Onto the next two. There is one Olive Egger (BCM/Am) and one Super Blue Layer (Leghorn/Ameraucauna). Now to tell which one is which????? Am I really going to have to wait for them to lay eggs??? Any thoughts anyone??





Here is the fuzziest little butt you ever saw .... LOL ....This is a Super Blue (the yellow fluff ball) and a............ wait for it ........ Cuckoo Marans .... I'm telling you this chick came out of a HUGE big brown Cuckoo egg...... I have never seen a Cuckoo Marans chick before but it looks like the 'milk man came visiting' ... LOL




And then there's these three ......Two Super Blues and one Olive Egger (who I'm convinced is a Roo). The Olive Egger is the one with gunk still stuck to the back of his neck.

What a great set of pictures! They are so sweet, congratulations!
