March Hatch-Along Thread- Come Hatch With Us!!!!!

[Cynthia12]

jh, sorry for the loss of your pullet. I can truly relate. I lost a favorite one this winter, it was such a harsh winter here this past year. I hope you do wake up to lots and lots of chirping chicks, and that the smiles on your children's faces will bring one to yours, and will stay with you through the day.

Women like you are who I look up to ....and just reading your post I had to say .... Your an amazing person .... Keep up the long hard fight and enjoying your family!! Sometimes I complain because I think some days are hard but thank you for reminding me to be thankful for my health and that things could b a lot harder .... I hope you don't mind or offended when I say I said a prayer for you this morning and when I see your posts I will also say a prayer for you that this goes into remission ....
Thank you for the help you have been to me with my last hatch!! God bless (I hope this post doesn't offend any one .... if so please forgive me )

thank you for the prayers! I am thankful and blessed to be fighting this battle and touching people along the way! My chemo treatment is going good now and holding steady. I do not want to do the bone marrow transplant now because of my children. I do not want to miss them growing up. I still am waiting on a donor match. I have no matches on the donor registery. So I wait patiently and spread the word to become a donor.

i want to tell you a cousin has had that same thing since early 2000 or even maybe in the 1990s  and is still doing well.
I think some cancers they can control fairly well  and hopefully or looks like to me this  may be  one. FIGHT ON!! you seem to be winning it !!

I think days like today chickies hatching is a wonderful uplifting thing to enjoy by anyone  the miracle of life..sort of  really amazing. to watch happen and with cancer it probably is helping your  fight ..the happiness  and joy this brings  to ppl good medicine

GOOD LUCK in your hatch!!Seems to be going well already. 

Thank you! I will never give up. This is not going to knock me down. I have a great team of doctors and I am blessed with my wonderful family and friends. I take one day at a time. That is all I can ask for. I don't want sympathy just support from everyone.


Thanks for everyone's kind words thoughts and prayers!

Congrats to everyone's new babies! Loving everyone's pics!

Yes, an American Serama - the world's smallest breed of chicken. Here he is all fluffed up this morning:

what a beautiful baby! Congrats

Oh, ceoka! I'm truly sorry for the challenges you are facing. So hard to read a fellow BCYer suffering, but at the same time, so very inspirational. So...thank you. You've reminded me that while I'm new to the 'disabled' title and what I have is extremely painful, at the end of the day I don't have to do things like take chemo on a regular basis. I believe there are messages in the world we are meant to hear and when we're ready, we'll hear them. I hear you loud and clear. Again, I thank you for putting my life in perspective. Sorry, they don't have an emoticon for gratefulness.

Aaaannnnd....FIVE kids out of school right now?? Good grief, I'm going nuts with just the two!!

Today is a good day. And I've got nine beautiful little ducklings and another nine actively working their way out, so 18 reasons to smile today. I've learned to live in the moments in between.

Thank you but no need to be sorry. Yes it is hard sometimes but I feel very blessed! Everyday is a blessing. I am doing good with my treatment. I have dr apt tomorrow. Going to check blood count in my bone marrow. My three kids and two nefews are not driving me crazy yet. I have a lot of patience and rules. Today we watched wreck it Ralph on video on demand. Plus I had an extra 8 year old girl today. They all know my diag and are doing ok with it. I am very honest with them about my treatment. I have some great kids but not perfect by any means. Just normal kids. Thanks again for your kind words!

partridge silkie, hatched on Tuesday!!

Oh what a cutie. I am in love!

 

[ceocka]

I only got two NN, and I will share eventually.

My longterm project is multi-colored Silkie Showgirls, so I'm hoping these are hens. It'll take at least 7 months before I know if it's possible.

I so desperately want showgirls! Every time I find some they are all Roos. So patiently I wait

Tonight, the little chick was trying to "help" the one that pipped... Is that okay? None of the chicks from my other hatch did this, nor have I heard of it. They're was one piece of shell that wouldn't come off of the pip hole (the one actually inside the egg had been working on it). And the other one was trying to pull it off. I turned off the lights and the chick running around the 'bator instantly plopped down to sleep, so I'm not too worried about it now.

I had a chick do that before too. Think it is ok. It is encouraging the other chick
