I've been busy today, but tomorrow will be busier. Worming treatment #2 is tomorrow. I also have to move some new pullets into the layers coop, as they are starting to lay now.

OH, and my Chocolate Orp gave me an egg today!

"Okay, Joey, I'll give you till noon tomorrow, but it will cost you another grand. I am a reasonable man, I can be understanding. I know how it is to have troubles, but Guido here, he is not so patient. He tends to get upset when people break their word. Joey, you gave me your word you would have my money today. I don't know how much longer I can keep Guido calm. I like you, Joey, I don't want to see anything happen to you. When Guido gets upset, people get hurt....."

Well I pulled the Silkie egg out and helped it out of the egg. It's just laying there breathing. But Idk if it's going to make it. The other one still hasn't done anything but it keeps peeping. Idk if I need to go in and help it too. My dad says theres a 50/50 chance with those two but if I don't help it out then it's not going to live at all. So Although i'm in tears and its completely nerve wracking assisting. I think I'm going to have to go in. While I took the white silkie out the other AM popped out of it's shell. Big feet on it. So I have three chicks out. One sitting there in the shell crying and one zipping. I don't think I will ever do this again.

I know how you feel, it is much easier to buy chicks at the feedstore.

My B/B/S Ameraucana just hatched. It was a singleton egg I got in the swap. It's feet are so huge, I'm assuming it must be a roo. It's also very dark with white wing tips, so when it dries I assume it will be black. Cute, but if all is true, I'd have to go looking for a girl.

I have a chick! It hatched without my seeing a pip or zip, too. (Well, I did go on a dump run with John to get rid of a lot of trash....)

And now there's a chick in the incubator with the most eggs, and it's skootching along over the top of the eggs.

After crying about not having more chicks pip. I had one pip and unzip without me seeing it, from the small end! She did it all by herself and was standing on her head in the carton. LOL I had to open and return her upright. I am afraid I couldn't just let her stand on her head with her little feet frailing around in the air. And she is Black! The other three are all gold. She is another Sex Link though and not one of my EE's, although she is a cross with the EE rooster. I am working really hard calling them all she. I usually just uncocously call them all hes..........

don't know why........

THe power of positive thinking . . . .

Congrats on all the chicks!

Sorry to all who is having few or no chicks hatch.

Still no pips YET!

But they are not due until tomorrow.

My first pip was 24 hours before end of day 21, now at 3 hours and 21 days, 5 hatched and 5 pips more. You'll get there in due time.

I was going to stay around for it when I was only seven away, then decided I'd rather go watch the Am hatch!
