Have you guys heard today's news .... BYC news ...
Writerofwords lost her Nugget. Everybody knows of all the Nugget stories. If you don't .... you must read them! Nugget is a BYC legend. She has a thread in the emergencies section, BTW.

I'm so sad!

Then, after that .... Scott, (Yard full o' rocks), found 2 hawks in one of his pens. he lost a little Delaware and a Silkie.

Bad news day, today.

I saw that too, I have only read two tales of Nugget, but they were heart string pullers!!! We feel for you and your loss, and Nugget...RIP buddy! <3

Has noone else candled? We're a week in ppl...man have you got some restraint!!! I pulled out 3 of my 15 to candle again today and I am SOOO excited to report all three still doing well and even moving around in there! If I can figure out how to upload a video, I will! But if not, I guess a blurry picture will have to suffice. I have to admit now that I've seen what my cross comes out like I am VERY eager to see them and may even keep 1 or 2 even though I promised DH I wouldnt...shhhh ;-)

You too? And I thought I was the only one finding ways to conceal the number my flock has grown to.

My first batch (3 part staggered hatch) is on day 12, and I haven't candled them. The are so dark (Black Copper Marans), that I figured I wouldn't be able to see anything. Second batch is on day 8, and I won't candle them until at least day 10. I just don't like to move them around. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I always think it may jostle them around and prevent further development. Sometimes I don't candle until day 18, when ready for lockdown.

December (? would that be a name?)
Deco (for decorations, maybe for a pretty chick?)

Any more, "D," names for the name game?
