I hope you decide to get those eggs cooking!

It's 145 days plus or minus 5, maybe she'll be early, but still carrying them pretty high.

Hi CC!

That is how I always understood it.

I'm hoping at least triplets, quads would be great.

I think trips would be iffy; most likely lose at least 1 if quads; in my limited experience, anyway. I did have 2 young does, however, that were supposedly open when I got them. One day they surprised me with 5 kids between them; weren't even showing...as I recall, they all lived.

I quit cold turkey about a year and a half ago. I'm doing green or white tea now.
Also, beer isn't just for breakfast any more.

Cold turkey? Never heard of it, does that mean you have it hot now?
Sorry everything always goes way over my head.

Cold turkey is when you try to quit from an habit, in one go, and cut it snap and not gradually.

I didn't know if you did anything special with it. Fresh kiwi is delicious.

No. I'm a fan of fresh fruit raw.

Quote: With the Nigerian Dwarf quads are common, Usually have a couple of them every year, had quints twice, and they all did fine too. Singletons can start to give you problems if they grow to big.

Does this less than day old chick look in distress to you or is this normal? I am used to seeing them bumbling around the incubator squawking...

How many hours ago did it emerge from the egg?
It looks distressed but may just be tired.

I think it looks distressed. If it's a day old it should be fluffed out, it also appears to be breathing rather heavily.

Maybe 5 hours ago.

Sorry less than a day, about 5 hours old. but still I agree with you I thought it looked distressed so came here to get opinions from those more experienced than me.

That's a long time for it to still be laying down panting. Are there others?
It certainly isn't vigorous.

Maybe 5 hours ago.
