Such a shame!

But at least you got one

and flo is a happy momma- will get some more pics today- he is a cute little bug!

ok, one looks real dark on the small end, maybe half full? and the other is closer to normal, and cindylou hasn't left the nest all day, which makes me hopeful.... do hens know if a chick is getting ready to hatch? usually she comes flying out about noon, and she hasn't budged?

well, i'm hoping- they don't smell bad, and she popped out long enough to poop, go growl at the house chicken- a serama, and back she went- meanwhile, more pics of Flo and babybug, flo still is bald from the keets,

I can only hope my tiny puff ball 4 week old Silkie in the basement is FEMALE ....

Congrats, by the way, and I hope more good news is on the way

(Freddie, my Frizzle, isn't going to be brooding eggs any time soon, that's for sure!

At least he's entertaining - and, he comes when he's called!!!
