Woohoo!!! did you sleep at all?? and where are our pictures?? Hows your daughter??So far one of the Ayem Cemani, a silkie and a frizzled EE have hatched in the Brinsea. Lots of pips in both 'bators. It will be a LONG night!!!!
So excited! Tomorrow is hatch day! Can't wait to see the new little babies!

awesome mix!I have got Isabel leghorns, rosecomb white leghorns, project blue duckwing leghorns, crested cream legbars, BBS copper marans, and silkies. 24 eggs in lockdown!
chicken math at its finest!I just tried candling my eggs I got in the mail. Some I cannot see an air cell at all.
I am going to have to hand turn 12 eggs. How should I choose which ones to hand turn? I could order another turner but it would take a week to get here.. The 15 eggs I bought turned into to 44.
awww!!Well, I had something tiny tiny hatch..under some cute Society Finches. It's so cute how the take turns sitting on the eggs. Got my camera out to see if I could get a photo..see that tiny pink thing? It's a baby Finch. Tiny! Hope it lives. The 4 of them all crowd in there at night to sleep.
Good Morning!Morning everybody else








normalcy is overratedDon't worry, stick around and you'll find out just how annoying I can get.........besides I take pills all the time and I'm mostly normal.![]()
Good Morning!!Good morning Whites et al. Playing catch up as usual.
I was raped. The baby is going up for adoption.
This is a very hard decision but you are making a very good choice, karma will make him pay in the long run. Keep your head held high you are a strong woman!Yes, he didn't ask to be made. He shouldn't suffer with his life. I just can't live with the reminder. It will hurt giving him up! But I never want there to be a day that I resent him for looking like a man that hurt me.



Good Morning Sunshine!!
Have a great day!!Just lurking and trying to catch posts here and there - hard to keep up or see everything, and I keep losing all my quotes, then forgetting what I wanted to comment on. Hugs to those who need them, cheers for chickees, Banti - sorry about your chick, but thank you for sharing so I know to never make that mistake either, Happy Birthday to... was it Billy? Indiana, so sorry for your ordeal...
I know there should be more, I can't remember anything else - sorry.
But I'm posting because I wanted to say that, while I'm not sure, I THINK I see veins in the candling picture above - don't give up. I got to where when I candled, I mostly just looked to see if I could see defined veins (best seen nearer to air cell), then I would mark the air cell and put it back (giving up on trying to see more definition). I was candling blue green eggs, also hard to see.
If that helps...
OK, gotta run.

they may also hatch late, i wonder if your temps are low? Did you calibrate your thermos??Yes, thank you, it does help. The one you think you see veins in is the most promising one so far. I'll candle again on day 14 and see what I can see. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough!
Haha I understand what you mean about losing quotes and forgetting what you're gonna say! Happens to me all the time!
LOL! Hi!!!There have been 19,403 posts on this thread since my last visit here. Haha. I hope everyone is well. I'm waiting for coffee to brew so thought of y'all.
I threw a dozen EE eggs in the bator. I'm going to sell them all. I'll set more in a few weeks.

Work, nephews bday party, then get more CHICKENS!!
Better hatch at least 3 dozen more. Will give you more options to choose from.

I would think it would be good, it is similar to celery in consistency, but very tart, it would be good with duck i think because it is a sweeter meatWe don't have it here, can you use it in meat and poultry dishes?
Good Afternoon!Finally catch up !
Shalom and good morning to you all!
there is a plastic container in that picture Banti
those are store bought, not ok
TRY HARDER WHITES!!!!!Sadly, I don't think that's going to happen, at least not any time soon, unless I can get through to her, but I'm sure trying.
