January Hatch-a-long 2018

Today is day 21 for my batch of five. Got up this morning and went straight for the brooder (of course!) and...nothing. Not a pip, not a peep, not a wiggle. Boo.

My moms birthday happens to be today, so I was distracted by that for about 6 hours. Came straight back to the brooder as soon as the last guest had left and:

Still wet! And another egg has pipped and is peeping. One other egg has no change, and the other two I can’t totally see. But still! A chick! I MADE A CHICKEN!! For the first time! Like, an entire alive chick who is madly peeping and exploring and running about! This is the best day ever.
Oh I laughed out loud reading your account of today's hatching shenanigans. Sooooo happy for you you - yay!!!!!
 
Oh ..oh... I love your dogs. And I live you more than I did before. :) I used to rescue and foster dogs. Love seeing happy rescued dogs.

Cute chicks, love your dog! Can't really tell by photo, is that a lab or Golden? I'm on my third Golden R. Great dogs. I have a similar photo of my dog with a chick. :)

Right now have a golden Pyrenees. His name is buddy. He’s a cross of a golden retriever and Great Pyrenees And has such wavy ears and has dual claws too. Such a loveable dog. He is is about to turn one at the end of this month. I’ve seen these dogs sold for 600$! He was our little Walmart puppy cause a man had them in the back of his truck giving them away! We were lucky to find such a great family members he’s saved my chickens countless times and he’s the biggest snuggle bug. He must think he’s 30 lbs when he’s 70lbs! Here he is as a pup and there he is in the fall. He’s much bigger now I will find a more recent photo here in a second.


Mine is a Golden/ Pyrenees mix too! He's 2 years old and just starting to calm down.
 
View attachment 1243109 This is Duke. He is very sweet and thinks everyone loves him. He was a rescue someone found him abandoned at a rural airport, there were more than one puppy, but he was the only one who came when called. I found him on a facebook page, the other person looking at him was from a picker cabin at an apple orchard and said they wanted a tie up guard dog, I went and got him as soon as I could. now he lives on beds and couches, and goes skiing/hiking once a day.
Love it! Duke is good looking, and one blessed dog!
