Good Night MC!

My poor little lone chick is peeping loudly whenever I am not holding her. Almost two days old now.

I hope it gets a friend.

Hey, Linda,
How's the land hunt going?

The vinegar doesn't make it sting?

A doctor told my dad to use noxema. He asked me to put it one. Never heard a man scream that loud before!!! He hosed himself off as fast as he could

Yes it does sting at first. You can cut it with water if it is too strong. But it will absolutely cut the pain in half in under 15 minutes. If you have second degree spot burns you may want to go with honey on those areas. I got burned in Florida as a kid on the first day of our vacation. Mostly first degree but the tops of the shoulders where the collar bone connects got 2nd degree burns. The vinegar worked though it made those second degree spots hurt worse at first. Latter I figured out that you should dilute it a bit more for the really tender spots. Noxima has a touch of menthol in it and if a person is sensitive to menthol it can feel like a chemical burn. Aloe Vera Gel is some awesome stuff too. I put a third degree burn on the back of my hand while cooking a couple of weeks ago and I broke the tip of my aloe plant off and squeezed the gel onto it. It stopped the pain almost instantly. For big jobs like a sunburn just buy a bottle of the gel.

Good job!!! I usually wait to long and the chicks are already born and I'm running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

I usually wait until I have pips, But broody hens I feel weird bc It is so little work!

I just finished candling, and I think I just heard a cheep. Day 18 starts in five minutes.
I didn't candle each and every egg, but I did see one that looks like it stopped developing within the past week. Maybe three days, I would have to look at a growth chart.
I also see that I should have caught that the air cells were too small a week ago.
All in all, the chicks all seem to be alive right now. Except that one of course. To be honest, it may have been moving as well.
Yes, Banti , the two ducklings are doing okay as well.
