My Black Giant is PIPPING!UPDATE!

[Mom 2em All]

Well, he didn't fluff

Sticky looking, but dry. When that happens, does it just wear off or do you clean it off somehow?

The other four eggs in the incubator I have question marks on- so, aside from the normal surprise if they hatch- they will be extra surprises. That baby BG could wake the dead though, he is so loud in there!

edited to add:

My blue egg is wiggling!

Well, still no pip. However, it will wiggle when I whistle. Dunno why it didn't come out yet (tomorrow is Day 21). The BG is doing well, I suppose. Her fluff is crunchy, and I thought she may have a touch of spraddle leg, but nothing that I would tape her legs for. Starting to actually walk now so that is good.

I spent the day quite distracted- built a new brooder

Its a double decker, 4ftl X2 ftw by 3 ft high. I put a floor in the middle and a roost on the bottom, and it is currently occupied by Carmen, the house chicken. I blocked half of the top off, length-wise and moved my babies into their new home. Much more room for them to run and stretch now.

I planted tomatoes and corn- and I added four foot in height of green fence to my split-rail fence- the CHICKEN yard. Now its too tall to fly up and out- even if there is a Superchicken in the bunch. Was very funny, my cat went to leap onto the split rail, met with green fence- and BOOF came back down. heh heh heh.

So, after all of that, I come inside to see my newly hatched BLUE EGG chick- and NO PIP!
