No Brooders, No Problem

[Beckie G]

I did do the boob thing solo. For showers, I bundled the lil thing up in a sweat sock several layers of a new clean one in front of a heater sitting up on a towel so the heat was blowing directly over the top. My house is freezing cold when the temps dip so I bundle in several layers and found that the boobie temp didnt dip at al lol. The bathroom was always toasty and humid when "fluffy" came out to change socks and lay in the towel with the heat blowing on it.

Well guys, the booby egg is on Day #22 now. Officially at 2 p.m. this morning the wings are noticable on the sides of the egg and the beak also on one side. AND on the pointy end of the egg there is light! Which I hope means the abdomen is closing up and the yolk sac is shrinking. I am getting to be quite the nervous nellyaround here. Daisy is liking to stay off her nest for very long times and doesnt tuck her egg in very good. Helen on the other hand isnt off her tiny clutch very long at all! But thos lil eggies are developing just wonderful even Daisy's. I have been at the library doing school work this morning but I am abt to leave and check all the animals now and eat some lunch. Then I will head back to finish up work and pick up hubby.

Good luck Chickie Momma...may the hatch be with you!

I finally got a really good picture, look at how pretty her baby is

Thanks Becky for your well wishes on the chicks & Chickie Momma for the run dow on your techniques! Hope your lil boobie has hatched!

As of yesterday(day 29) we had one chick hatch & two others were working on unzipping! It looks like a Jersey Giant but I'm sure because of the egg it hatched out of that it's a mix, possibly Buff Orpington or Speckled Sussex

Sadly we had to leave before they finished hatching(we're in the middle of moving) but they're in the competant hands(wings really ) of momma hen. I can't wait to see the little peepers when we go back today! I was SO tempted to stuff them in my bra as we were leaving but we had stuff to do. I hope everything went well & I'll update again later today with more pics!

Well, we are on Day #24 Still have some movement so its still alive. Can identify the wings and the head. The head moves quite a bit, just not spasmotically for hatching...
