Is there any hope?

I float tested them today, and candled the three that miiiiight have been alive based on how they floated (no movement for any of them). All are dead. The air cell has decreased even further since I candled them last. It's a pity but I was dubious as to the survivability of any chicks that might have survived this long anyway. Now to convince my girls that they can stop being broody now

In a cruel irony the humidity has dropped into the 40s today for the first time in 6 weeks.

Unfortunately it does happen Though you did all you could, sometimes it can't be helped.

I have two late eggs that the hens gave up on to focus on the chicks, but they still have movement, so I gave them to my pigeon. If they hatch, I am gonna have 1 or 2 confused chicks.

Unfortunately neither of the eggs made it, but the 5 chicks who hatched are growing big and strong, and are brimming with personality and a lot of sass.

Squabble is back to being a crazy ferret as well.

Easily done tbh, it is hard to tell with pigeons. Squabble acts like a male and hasn't laid any eggs, despite often going broody, so I am pretty certain the crazy sky ferret is a boy.

Ok he’s gorgeous! I hope one day to have a pigeon!
