Welcome to Elisi and Vicky. I had to read four pages to catch up this morning. Nice pictures Celtic. It will be interesting to check out the different colors. Amy's eggs are all I have that are Sebbies. Maybe next spring I can branch out to some of the other people's eggs to get a good mix. Igotgoosed it sounds as if you are definitely addicted.
This morning I have one that is zipping and two externally pipped. My daughter wanted to "help" them from the eggs so I had to do a search on how long it takes from internal pip to hatch to convince her to be patient. She was like, but mom the shells are so hard how do you expect them to get out? I said very slowly, they need to rest a lot, lol. Marty It looks like two of my eggs have stopped and may have to go out. It is so disappointing when they almost get up to hatch and then quit. Does anyone know if this is because they are first year eggs? I hate to say I will never attempt first year eggs again but it is hard not to try.
I love the Manna Pro game bird starter. The goslings get so big so fast and very active.
Hopefully I will have a hatch ling to take a picture of later this morning for you Iain. I am so glad that your babies are doling well and I love everyone's pictures.
Psue, I try to take care of mama believe me, but I got so wrapped up in eggs this spring that I forgot to pay my water bill last month and they turned my water off on me yesterday. One minute I had water and the next I was on the phone. I have NEVER forgotten my water bill. When the guy came back to turn it on he said that he though about coming to the door and letting me know because he had never had to shut it off before. I said to him, look around do you really think I wouldn't pay my water with all of these animals? Lucky for me I had already given them all fresh water, and I keep emergency water on hand. I told my daughter that I wouldn't do that again any time soon, like never again!
I hope my baby chicks come in today. They went from Iowa to Saint Paul MN. It must be how the air connections go. They were shipped Saturday poor babies. Time to do the milking. I will check in later.
