Is it possible to save this egg?

Miracle is 14 weeks old today. She was eager to get out this morning. We had a huge pouring rain storm last night and the bugs must have been wonderful this morning. Everything is mud. Chickens love mud.

I just took this picture of Miracle sitting on my lap. She's turning into quite the nice lap chicken. Very sweet girl. I can't believe when I look back at the egg and how badly damaged it was...this girl is the result.
Miracle is beautiful. 🥰 I love the photos! Always great to see her updates. Thank you for continuing to let us know how she’s doing.
 
This was Miracle waiting for the hurricane earlier. Then everyone came inside. The pullets came inside in the dog crate and the cockerels and the adults went in the garage pen. Holy tornados today. My goodness. Everyone is safe right now and hopefully remains so until the eye passes.

Oh my goodness! I wish I’d checked back with you sooner. I’m so glad you, Miracle, and the family are okay! ❤️ She’s grown into such a beautiful girl. Please let us know how everything’s going.

We are ok. We had a terrible tornado here that tore up my county but not my street. Thankfully. The hurricane blew a limb off one of my avocado trees. It also blew down my loquat tree and my cherry tree. The cherry tree went down on my chickens fencing so I had a lot of fixing to do. My house is fine. No damage. We lost power for 4 days and it was misery. My refrigerator did not like the GFI on my generator so I ended up having to throw out the food in my fridge and freezer. I had to call out of work a couple days to take care of my family. Every meal we had to cook on my charcoal grill while my food was defrosting.

It's been an adventure and I'm so tired of storms. Everyone is safe and my house is not damaged. I am happy for those things! My co workers have had worse so I'm blessed. Some of my co workers live in the tornado disaster areas and praise God it wasn't me.

So glad you and your family are safe, and the damage for you was minimal. And, you were able to bring Miracle and the flock to safety as well. 🥰

It’s tough being without power. But, you grilled a lot, and that couldn’t have been too bad. The latest generator we had installed is great, because it automatically starts within seconds of a power outage. Hopefully, you can get the generator issues with the refrigerator worked out.

It’s sad that so many weren’t as fortunate. 😞 We hope for everyone to find their way back to happier times. Strength through adversity.

Please continue to update.

Ohh yeah my parents have that nice generator!! They got Generac installed. It starts as soon as the power goes out. I have solar panels on my roof but don't yet have batteries. The current battery technology isn't great yet so I'm waiting to see the newest batteries before I install any. Then I will have backup power.

Miracle will be 17 weeks tomorrow. I'm so excited. She's getting close to egg laying time. I'm going to be switching everyone over to layer feed shortly. My mother hens didn't start laying til around 22 weeks so I expect about that for Miracle. She is so sweet now and I don't know how. She was broody raised and that broody bit me up! Miracle is a lap chicken now. I won the chicken lottery with her. It feels like God himself hand delivered her to me.

So, are you thinking Generac now? 🙂 You’re parents probably already told you to DO IT! Having solar panels sounds nice. We’ve seen more of them popping up on homes in this part of Ohio.

I’m thinking back to when you first shared that shocking photo of your Miracle with us. Shes a special little pullet and growing into a beautiful hen. 🥰 After all you’ve been through with her troubling beginning, I’m not surprised that she’s so attached to you and such a cuddly chicken! It sounds like mama chicken is a broody beast! 🤣
