So update on the hatch I think/thought was doomed. I candled again today (day 6), and it seems like maybe there's something going on in a few. Two seem to very clearly have air cells. But - and this is what makes me think there's somethig wrong - I don't see veining in any of them. Is it possible my light just isn't bright enough? I'm so worried!

I think another one of my chickens, Sage, laid her first egg today. But it could have been Sara laying in a new spot and Sage checking it out. It's funny watching the other chickens checking everything out. They all stand around waiting and watching while another is laying an egg. Cinnamon, the one that broke into the house yesterday while I was gone, snuck in again. I have decided anytime she comes in, I'm going to cuddle her. She has been cuddle A LOT lately. I was outside petting my dog, I turned around to feed the chicks. When I turned back, Cinnamon was petting my dog. She really was. She petted her for awhile. Has anyone else every had a chicken petting a dog? I wish I had my phone with me. I lovemy crazy chickens.

Sad news. Last night I was bringing in the young ones. I found my largest Black FCM rooster, 6 weeks, dead. He looks fine. I don't know what happened. Maybe he got smoothered in the chick pile. I think I still have 1 rooster and 5 hens left and one older hen and a splash rooster.

I went back outside and caught Cinnamon scratching Daisy. Daisy likes it. This video isn't as funny as the first time but still cute.
