INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

I understand from others that many CLs DO typically crow early. I also confirmed (with the breeder whence he came) that my rooster/sire crowed extremely early, and so his sons are as well. I actually had one try at 2 weeks. I almost fainted. Tried to mount a pullet at 6 weeks. They're a handful...

- Ant Farm

He is my first and only CL (and turned out to be a mix I suppose??? the breeder said it was a pure CL egg but I'm just not sure based on his looks).... he is tiny and skittish! When he can't see the other chicks he puts up a big fuss too. I hope he calms down and we can keep him. My daughter was pretty attached to him when he was first hatched, but since he doesn't like to be held or touched she has become more attached to the other chicks.

Yes my freind this are the worst! You won't believe how many taste you will begin to feel after you have clean your palate from them! You will not belive how sweet is milk or an apple! The sugar is THE MOST HARMFUL INGRIDIANT THAT YOU USE! It is, with stress, the basis of almost all the metabolic syndrome disorders!

The other question besides time , and the difficulties of change is how to afford to eat those foods.

Eggs, and vegetables I don't know the prices in the USA, but here they aren't very expensive and this are the basic. You have poultry and pigs, and you can hunt, so it is almost all covered up!

It's funny, I had to ask my dad to move the eggs to lock down, since I wasn't home. Again, my SO is not so crazy about my chickens any more, I find it hard to say, let's stop at my house so that I can hatch more eggs. Plus long hours at work.

I had 6 seramas that were 3 1/2 days behind. I would have locked them all down, but my dad said, he would keep them out. But he kept out 7 eggs. So, I've asked him 4 different times to keep an eye on that incubator. He says he has, and there were no pips or zips any time he looked and he wasn't going to stare at it constantly. Well I asked him to check ONE more time, and there was a hatched chick, stuck in the turner, so he hung up on me, and said "gotta go". Called me back to say no harm no foul/fowl. Chick was still wet, so we tossed it into the hatching bator.

At 7 AM, we had 6 babies, and 9 am we have 11.....and LOTS of pips!!! These are almost all TJ's eggs. Sebrights, bantam EE's and Mille Fleur. There are a few of my own backyard flock eggs in there as well.

I'm stressed that we had to open up the bator to toss in the chick, but he really was too wet to go into the brooder.

Sugar reacts almost explosively inside the body.

I opened the 7 unhatched eggs and found about what I thought I would; nothing even faintly resembling a developing chick in any of them. In some there was an unidentifiable brown blob; guess that was what would have been an embryo had it developed more. The one that surprised me most was the one that had shown definite embryonic movement and good veining on day 14...nothing now.

I guess you'll have this, if you stick with it long enough.

That's awesome!! Congrats on the babies, too bad about having to open, but at least it was wet, so that will help the humidity a bit
cant wait to see pics of the sebrights
