Setting Eggs 4/17! Who's With Me?

[xyresicchick]

aggie, i hope your eggs are okay.

that is really gross and sad about the mama eating her babies

i guess mother nature had her own plans by giving your hen that idea.

Oh Starry... that is heart breaking...

I'm so so sorry. I'm am sending you lots of good juju... we all are.

ughhhh went out and the duck was trying to eat a egg that had a full grown chick in it. It was too late she had broken the shell and he was not ready to be born he had not absorbed the yolk at all. so i took the other 3 threw them in the bator so I will have to waite and see .

Starry! Sounds like you have a bunch of anti-momma birds! So sorry for the losses and frustration!

Well the silkie hatched and is doing great he is early but seems fine. She seems to be mixed i guess from my blk silkie hen and the white silkie roo. I have 4 more pips which i am happy for since 2 are from eggs that were in there with the others that hathed and got chick goo on them i did not expect them to hatch.

Starry-- I'm so happy that you finally are getting some good news with the silkie

-- the past few days have been right out of a chicken horror story (almost).. I think my juju was a little late in getting to you.

.. Hope you weekend goes better.

I'm preparing for lockdown on Sunday, I'm a little worried that my light might be too close to the bottom of my homemade bator. Do you think I should try to put some protective wire around it just in case a hatchling gets too curious?

Probably wouldn`t hurt since you are getting ready for lockdown anyways. Good luck! How exciting that many of us are getting to lockdown in the next few days.
