Tons of assists this year. Tons of internal pipping, then death. Wonder why? I never had issues like this hatching!
I have one more May hatch to go.

You may want to look up assisting a shrink wrapped chick.

Betty and Freya are sitting on 19 eggs together and tomorrow is day 20!

Betty is an experienced momma and usually hatches on day 20 so hopefully there will be chicks tomorrow. Wooo! They need a sit on your hands emoticon.

I can't stand the suspense!

[COLOR=800080]I am so sorry about the loss of your flock.  That is my biggest fear.  We have the normal predators, coyotes, raccoons, fox and possums (none seen on our property, yet) but the dogs are the biggest issue.  We live in a rural area and for some reason people that live here believe they do not need to keep their dogs on their property and they are not accountable for any destruction by them on others.  We have a farm down the road raising cows and horses.  They have lost a foal because of a neighbors dog. My husband had one come up on him at our farm and it was growling and had raised hair on its neck.  He picked up a 2x4 he was working with and ran after it.  We are looking to get a LGD for our property.  We are looking for either a Anatolian Shepard or a Great[/COLOR]
[COLOR=800080]Pyrenees. I have seen ads for a combination of both.  All I have read, they are very protective of their charges. [/COLOR]

We live 13 miles from town and people drop off dogs out here all the time thinking they will be better off. Ugh it makes me so mad.
But we recently got a Great Pyrenees and we love him. We named him Sammy. I am having to teach him that the ducks are not his play toys and not to chase the chickens. He is getting much better. He is 14 weeks old and a very calm gentle and loving dog. Although he thinks the ducks pool is his. Even though we have three ponds on our property. Lol
