[Jseaborn]

Just candled, saw 5 with veins but the rest were so dark all we could see is a dark side and a not so dark side which I was assuming is the air sack.



We moved the ducks to a separate brooder with sand as bedding after giving the chicks a bath

Out of 12 Lav. Am eggs only 3 little chickies hatched out. None of my GSBR eggs hatched that I bought directly from Frank Reese. I was really bummed about that because I really needed a little roo to replace the one that I lost back in December.

I put batch #4 of my own eggs in lockdown Friday night. Monday is hatch day so we will see what comes out there. I think the weather we've been having this past month has a lot to do with the non hatches. One day it is in the 80's/60's at night and then we get highs in the50's and lows in the 30's. The humidity has been crazy to. Last night I checked my Sportsman and it read 20%. I almost flipped because it has never gotten that low. It's always in the 30's.

Awww boo!!! I wanted a big hatch for you!!!


what about you pug???? Did your frizzles come!?!?

I have to take Xanax for a deep cleaning my anxiety is so bad. Ended up getting 5 root canals, 2 pulpectomies, and a few fillings....and one of the root canals (this angry tooth now) was drilled into my sinus cavity and drained "hot tea" looking stuff like water for a week healing, and now that same tooth is the one with the abscess that is so big I feel it rubbing my cheek when I talk! Blah!! Am over the teeth thing!!!!

I tried to catch up on post, but I'm so tired. so if I've missed anything or anyone sorry...

I had a kind of rotten day in some ways, I was making batches of homemade orange marmalade for HOURS- so I didn't get to spend as much time checking on the small chicks in the brooders and this evening I found one of my TSC chicks that I got several weeks ago dead. It looks like it got trapped by the feeder & trampled! I hate that!

And today is lockdown on my call ducks. I went on & put all 3 eggs in even tho I only think one is alive- still not sure on the other 2, but we'll see.
The 2 frizzle chicks are ok, I didn't take them out the hatch bator until a while ago. I put them and a few other small chicks in the 'nursery' brooder together. they are so dang tiny! And b/c I left them in the hatch bator longer than I normally would they dried weird... oh well crap I think I'm going take a bath-

Yes!

Hi all!! I need some hatch luck!!!

My grandma gave me these eggs, which she swears were/are fertile, & I'm on day 21 now!!!!! As a Homesteading Homeschooling science project I did it differently this time; my first hatch, 2 weeks ago, I did everything I could diagnostically to make sure they were developing. This time I did the opposite!! I stuck em in, turned them like crazy, but never peeked inside. I have no idea if they will hatch or not.... out of 5 I'm hoping for at least 2!! I wanted to do this as part of the science project- simulate the environment of a hen by turning, temp, humidity, but don't get all techy on them & see what happens.... That was all fine until I have to sit on my hands now!!!!

I think I put them in at around noon when my aunt brought them over.... send me luck, hatchers!!! Thanks!!! I put my chicks back in the same room so the babies could hear them... I hope!! Sitting on hands, sitting on hands!!!

LUCK!
