September Hatch-A-Long!

[DeannaA]

How long does it usually take for legs to move into correct position with help? I don't don't know how long to leave Pink in her sling. I took the weights off for tonight. But she is still in the sling.

I learned the hard way. Once you but the legs into anything, they have to stay. I thought they might need a rest. Instead the tendon on one knee slipped.

I feel so bad. I finally found someplace that says but not until this morning. So if I fix the first problem, she will still only have one useful leg. I tried pushing it back but I don't know how and it was hurting her. So Jack and Pink can hop along together.

I've got a pip!

It's only day 19 but it's a banty egg and from what I hear they usually hatch early. Maybe when hubby and I come home from dinner tonight I'll have a chick.

It's 1 of 2 due wed and the other's are due next thursday but I'll be in New Orleans.

I'm having my brother house sit so he'll have to keep my updated on that hatch. Oh and the one that has pipped is my first home bred! It's a OEGB that will most likely be black since momma is a birchen and dad is solid black with a HUGE red and black comb....wonder if the comb will be red, black or both. Mom's is solid black....Come out chickie, I want to meet you!

were you incubating shipped eggs? that would account for the malposition...the egg turning sounds sufficient to me...and the temp spike although not ideal is still within acceptable...

thanks for writing that

i wrote the first post and was like UGHGH my eggs are doomed... bc of the way i turned and my temps..

but then i was like hmm.. i have read my way was ok.

im on lockdown as of today.

hurry up thursday!!!!!

When I was little, I turned a Tominto a pet. It just made me strong. I carried it around until it was 35-40 lbs. I couldn't see past it so I bumped into stuff but that didn't stop me. He was huge.

LOL My kids don't even weigh 35 lbs!! She follows us around the yard and the kids ride her around in their gator and she sits in the back and loves it!
