I am having the worst day, it is lockdown and I have just gone to add water to raise the humidity and my twin egg which is still alive I just cracked and not a little a lot of tiny cracks below the air cell. The was no blood and the chicks are still moving a tiny bit, they haven't been moving much anyway cause it is extra squishy in there. I was already hoping against the odds that this one would hatch but jeez something is working against this one.
On top of this I had gotten quite ill while school shopping with kids, I had also organised a few days ago to pick up 2 new Frizzle hens, I go to pick them up and they are in horrible conditions, poop 5 inches thick, stinky, so thin you can feel every bone one of them had a crop full of air and what she called molting however this could not be molting because molting does not contain pus I felt so bad for them and disgusted with her I bought all 4 Frizzles she had including 2 Roo's. I already have boys I really didn't need more I figure I am gonna fatten them up, fix up their wounds prob take about a month and I already know someone who has a farm who has been admiring my Frizzle boy.
Anyway bad day I woke up thinking Ill get the kids school stuff, go pick up 2 beautiful new breeding Frizzle Hens and then put my eggs into lockdown have a quiet Friday night with a movie and then wake up tomorrow for my Birthday and have all day with my kids and Hubby.
So instead I have had a day of nausea and cold sweats, buying 4 chooks instead of 2 and they were not even worth the price I paid. Then spending 2 hours bathing them trying to get all the poop out of what feathers they did have and spraying an antiseptic treatment all over them, while building a temp makeshift pen far away from my chooks because I don't want them anywhere near my healthy chooks.
Im gonna go to bed and just hope tomorrow is better and my babies still hatch in a few days. Fingers crossed for my hatch and especially my twin chicky's.
