Was it attached to the belly area?

Yes. So I did another one. They both look like fully developed ducklings. What am I supposed to be looking for?

Thanks, hon... In other news... do anyone else's hens send each other memos when you're trying to collect eggs for hatching??? Seems they take turns holding them in... and one in each coop always poops on their egg as soon as they lay it... :/ I swear they're laughing at me...

Hahahahaha!!!! That's funny they are scheming. Lol!!!! Have you seen chicken run!!!???

We had a such beautiful day today! We did almost all of our school outside, (yes, we school through the small holdidays), and let the chickens range most of the day and then did our pumpkins. The chickens loved the pumpkin. I was able to get some fairly decent pics of mommy and baby and a couple others, so I have to share. These are actually from a couple days ago, but they are so sweet. Momma was enjoying some sun/dust bathing, and boy was she getting dust everywhere! lol

Cute!!!!! I want a broody so bad.....I am hoping that my silkie will do it for me. She has not yet laid an egg for me either.

Was getting ready for bed last night and heard peeping... opened the bator and found this... totally forgot about the Silkie egg from the quitter broody, lol...

Hatched out perfectly in the turner at 25% humidity...

Aaaawwwwww!!!!! One tough cookie!!!!

So here is an updated picture on the fowl pox. Only my SLP have it. poor things. And it smells like rabbit pee. It's so gross. I want to bathe them but since they are sick I don't want to upset them too much.

Don't mind my face in the second picture.

Well, you basically should be looking to see if you can figure out why they didn't hatch. Were they too wet, too dry, under-developed, deformed, malpositioned, unabsorbed yolk... etc.

I took some pictures but wasn't sure about posting because they are kinda gross.

If you are on computer there is a spoiler alert hiding tab you can use so pics don't show until it's clicked on... I dunno where it is, but ask Kathy (casportpony) she would know...

You can use the spoiler tool to put pictures like that on the site. They will not show up until you click on it.

The spoiler alert button is the one below, between the paper clip and the </> symbols. Third one from the left, on the second row. Yours could be in a different location, but should look the same.
