You're just fine . Is that DH watching over the shoulder , serving as supervisor to make sure you're not ordering more hatching eggs ?

Yep that is my beloved himself. And most likely he is thinking anti-chicken thoughts. (he is the voice of reason in our house - not me) No seriously, I went home for lunch (last of the rooster soup) and I mentioned that I might like to try quail as a food source. Surprisingly, he liked the idea. I will have to do some research and see if the quail are something we could do but...we will see.
Now you Steve - I want to see if there really is any resemblance to Homer Simpson???

Laree I think you should submit the second - just explain that it is your son "helping" them dust bathe. That is hilarious! See now, I knew my sons were perfectly normal. I went out yesterday and found my son riding his big wheel (he had his favorite pullet carefully stored in the compartment under the seat as he rode around) And for anyone concerned - we hardly take our eyes off of those two and it could only have been in there about 12 seconds. She seemed unphazed and hopped down and went off to look for some tasty grass.

That is ADORABLE! I just cannot believe the size discrepancy.

Thanks everyone

I wish it was a bit clearer but it was shoot through the incubator window.
I imagine it as a "aww man I'm in trouble again??" time out

Good to see that everyone's doing well here. I quit trying to keep up with this thread a long time ago for obvious reasons, but it's nice to stop by a little.

And this would be my entry for crowing rooster pic.

 

[BlueBirdChick]

was that your black silkie ?????

Anyway Just an update I have just six of the 13 that I had set

Sucks big time and I do mean big time. I know that this does happen

But I did candle them and well except for my BA/DC I did see the chicks move it is the most coolest thing in the world to see them move and to see the heart beat ....

I hope the ones in my BA/DC are developing okay

 

[Rathbone]

yes, sigh, that was my rooster.
That is so cool that you could see movement!
I am still new to this so be patient but - what is BA/DC? Black australorp/Dark Cornish maybe? Sorry you got only six. I won't have many either. It is maddening!

Ok I have too many funny pictures to choose from. I guess this will be my official entry.

It's funny with a cuteness factor

I call this "Chicken Hug" .

edited to add the caption

 

[BlueBirdChick]

Awwww cuteness overload heheheee

Yep Rathbone Black Australorp and Dark Cornish

My hen is the Australorp and the Roo is Dark Cornish . I have had one pip and didn't make it

but they are very pretty babies, it looked like a australorp chick but it would of had like a reddish tint to the feathers

so I am hoping that they are okay

I need a stronger flash light like ones that can shine on the moon

when you point it ....
Daisychick what kind of chick is that it sure is adorable

OK I have an entry for the funniest chicken photo. Meet Tonya Harding Chicken - the blue andalusian who has never met a lap she didn't like. She loves to be rubbed behind her ears and on her belly.

Edited to actually add the correct photo... that's what I get for working 32 hrs straight.
