***OKIES in the BYC III ***

Looks like I'm going to give up on my broody hatching anything. The eggs were due to hatch on Mon two tried to hatch but died while trying one or both may have got cracked to soon by external forces (either the broody or another hen trying to lay eggs in the nest) since they had liquid yolk on their bellies. None of the others have made a sound that I can tell and certainly no pipping or zipping.

could you move the remaining eggs into the bator? they might be late hatchers- broodies can be a problem at times, too much shuffling around

generally ten days max, store them point down in an egg carton in cool temps, i wouldn't put them in the fridge, have one end tilted a few inches and rotate 2 xs a day- hope that helps

Here is my update I posted on Facebook:

Update after Bull Snider's appointment. He has to go to MD Anderson in Houston to have his tumor and lymph nodes removed. Results from that surgery will take about 2 weeks to get back. Those results will determine which type of radiation/chemo he will receive. Most of this afternoon after his appointment has been a blur. We have been through so much in our years together. 5 miscarriages, failed infertility treatments, a failed adoption, kidney stone complication that about took my life, mini stroke, loss of our business, personal and business bankruptcy and now we are faced with this. We know we will endure and make it through this like we always have before, but this has knocked us down to our knees. We appreciate all the support from our family and friends. Please say a prayer for our family.

Has anyone had a pullet with a crooked beak? One of my Jersey Giants has a slight crooked beak and her top beak is a little shorter then bottom she eats and drinks well will even eat out of my hand she was not hatched this way though which has thrown me for a loop

I have Buff Brahma that I bought at auction about a year and half ago that has a crooked beak. She still gives me an egg so I let stay around here. I have nothad any problems with her at all.
