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

[Lucky Lemon]

I can't seem to force the foot straight..... Does it matter if it's a sheer, plastic or fabric one? I think I did it wrong because I was worried about the sticky part and put fabric between the foot and bandaid ... I realize the ridiculousness of that now. Gonna try again.

Day 18 for one egg is almost up! Can't wait to have more babies! It's too quiet in the house

The height of pipping is an indication

of weight loss during incubation.

If weight loss was insufficient,

the air cell remains small and the

chicks are forced to pip high. Some

chicks will not be able to pip at all

and will drown inside the egg. [COLOR=FF0000]The

correct height for pipping is roughly

at half, or just above half, the height

of the egg (see photo).[/COLOR]

Thank you, it's starting to zip and chirping through the hole now, I'm glad I'm awake this time, I hated finding the other one dead! -I was ready to throw in the incubating towel!

how can I give away this ham of a gooserz? ughhhhh we found out she loves music!

ill take her!!!!!

Help! Broody hatched lots of babies today! Yay! But! Does this baby need a bandaid shoe cast? It is very weak and wasn't even near the broody.

Awesome!!! Yes either bandaid or electrical tape

I would put a bandaid on it ya Just use the sticky part on the bottom of the foot stick the toes straight and then put the other sticky end on top and push the sticky together between the toes let it on for three days then take it off. dont worry the bandaid will be fine on its foot sticky to sticky promise

I have a spoiled rotten rooster. He even has 2 hens and still VERY tame.

Very handsome bird

I have your perfect vacation spot right here; just consider it a b&b with 2 extra meals a day. No charge; hammer, saws & nails provided... checkout date TBD

you better have power tools or the airfare will cost me a fortune!

More power tools than you could shake a stick at.
Airfare? When you could drive it in 3 hours or less?
I know, it sounded more like vacation that way no?

Depends on how you feel about airports.

He's fully grown too! So sweet! Never knew one could be this calm till we got him.

Well, it looks like either Pingu or Rockhead needs to be gone by next week.... After growing up and getting along terrific for all of their lives, including that morning, both cockerels were bloody when I got home today.
Rocky is a white silkie, he had so much dried blood on him that his front looked almost like a partridge silkie. Pingu's head and neck was so red he looked like his throat was cut!

Teenagers.....

Just let them climb on the truck instead. Less work that way.
