Could be worse. You could have all those spiders listed, Plus tarantulas, and many, many others.

So this chick (replying to Sally's response about the yolk and vein relation) had pip'd and struggled for 24hrs... It then hit a vein, which (since I put a webcam on the incubator) saw while playing games for eggs. I blotted it with paper towel, put it back. (So many issues last time, main thing, don't help unless you absolutely have too) so I let her struggle another 6 hours maybe, and noticed the membrane seemed stuck to her head, and so checked it out, it was, and her wing apparently. After that was fixed and she was put back she popped out around 3am PST this morning. I got woke up by the little chicks racket. I just rinsed it off now, got a good look at that "scrape" and I can't tell if that's it or a deformity. It's got a few layers, the darker skin, then light pink, then a kind of grayish color toward center, which to me would be bone... I bundled the baby back up, put back in cup, back in the bator.

2 eggs left in there, both tiny, could be Pheasant or Could be Serama. One just pip'd. Hopefully the Hedemora chick gets comfy in the cup, because I need to go to work (and worry about it all day lol)...

I really like the rred sex linked chicks, they lay really well ;o and I have so many "broody" hens, it will be nice to have a few who don't give no flying rats butt, about their eggs.

So where should we send flowers for the funeral?

Rough I haven't done an assisted hatching yet. I try to just let nature take it's course at this point, because i'm too scared to intervene and cause worse damage.

Very funny

Although.... In order to do the eggs, I have to figure out how to get my new incubator up and running. My hubby built it, tested it to make sure it turned on and then hid it in the back of my closet.

I have to find a place to put it. He said it was too big for our bathroom, that someone would break it on accident.

Could just put it on the kitchen table.

Cats would destroy it.

My big cat is 26lbs and is known for laying on the table, we end up folding laundry on the table and he has a thing for laying on my clean laundry. LOL

We usually eat in the kitchen, standing up because with 4 kids, it's easier to clean up the floor, then wipe walls, tables, chairs, floors, then clean the kitchen after meals. LOL

Don't you have a dog to clean up after the kids?

My daughter doesn't bother to sleep in her bed, so I may just move the pillows, and set it in her room at the end of the bed.

​

She sleeps with her brother, in his bed, because she doesn't like sleeping alone. whodathunk a almost 6 year old could squeeze herself into a toddler bed. but she manages it.



It's this kind of destruction that prevents me from wanting to deal with the mess at the table :

​

​

He shares his food with the cats/dogs... it's just easier if it's only one surface to clean! LOL

See above. Dogs are outside during meals, or he would throw food to them and never eat LOL he still shares with the cats.
