Sorry about this long quote. I had the chance to catch up or sleep, so I choose the latter. I needed it! Dr found nothing wrong with my 9 year old...? Virus maybe.
That's great!! I'm going to have to try that! I'm not very alpha though. My pets know it, my kids know it...I'll have generate some feminine alpha energy before going out to the coop/run!
I don't know?

Maybe the pattern on my shoes??
Here we go!...this is why you didn't want a broody!
I agree! See how it plays out.
I added it to the list. This year I have a white roo over white, black, buff, and paint hens. I'm going to work toward a paint program. So next year I'll eliminate buff. But I'd like to see what hatches this year. I will also have another cockerel by spring but I don't know what color. It depends on my next couple of hatches.
So similar to pregnancy. Bonding and feeling the baby move. Nature is such a miracle in itself!!
Good luck!! I always set at night, between 9-11pm. That way I wake up with pips in the morning of day 20.
That's great! Congrats!! I like firemen!!

If I go out in sandles they always go after my skin! lol Worse if I go out barefoot!!!!

Thanks, now I do too........

Amy should be back soon if you want to hold out for a second opinion...

Maybe you didn't feel the first one

I have never in my life seen an internal pip.
I'm with Friday, Queenie will show up soon and be your enabler. No blue chip for you this month

Thanks guys!!

OK, as for the internal pips. I don't usually candle mine after lockdown unless the majority have hatched and I still have eggs that haven't pipped yet. Then I candle to see if they are still viable. I don't like sitting at the incubator with unpipped eggs and waiting for something to happen that isn't going to. If they're gone, I want to be able to move on. I'm not one of these that will leave them in for 3 more days just in case. I'm pretty good at hatch at being able to tell if there's still life in there. If there's life I talk to them and tap at them and go red on their shells, of course I put them back in....lol The last three in my last hatch probably got sick of me messing with them cause they waited so long to externally pip after the others. But-they all made it and I noticed something that I wonder if it's a valid notable. Most of my eggs that pipped early took forever to go from pip to zip. The last three that actually pipped on day 21.... only took a few hours to go from pip to zip with no unabsorbed yolk or active veining.
Now, if you really want to see an internal pip, and you have your humidity up...that's totally up to you. I for one will cover my eyes....lol

So...apparently I don't know my flock as well as I thought....the broody situation. Because I'm a spaz and there was no one on the eggs I put the kennel in there and set it up, right? Ran down my Banty Chibi and put her in there and shut the door. She was POed to say the least. (They can be pretty loud.) After a couple hours I went out to check and she's still raising cane. I open the coop door and bend down to get the water bottle that she had dumped over and noticed Sukoshi-the other banty on the original nest brooding a spitz egg and the plastic egg.... I got the wrong banty!!!!!!! No wonder Chibi was ticked. So I let Chibi out and put Sukoshi in. She sat down on the eggs and gave me a nasty look. The minute I shut the door though...she spazzed. Flying into the door yelling... So guess what??? I gave up! Gave her the eggs back on her nest sat her back down and she's been fine...so this is the mindset I'm taking.....dark purple. I'll just collect any extra eggs that are laid in there and let her go back to sitting in between getting moved off from the others and hatever happens happens!

You've seen the carpet of silkies I've had this summer. Never marked an egg, never took eggs out until the nest was empty. I never had more than 2 unhatched. I never knew what day they were on, or if eggs were added. I had up to 3 silkies on the same nest. I just let 'em ride, and they hatched almost all of them. Broodies may only be a pain if you let them

[napdognewfie]

My silkie managed to hatch eggs in a covered litter pan. The other 2 hens and 1 duck just shoved her over and laid. I marked the eggs so I knew which ones were new.

I kinda need the other eggs though....lol My other girls, the ones that have been laying, went on strike and I am only getting 2 maybe three eggs a day from them, (out of 8). My father has eggs almost every day, so.......lol

Nothing wrong with purple!

Is that a window? The only purple I can see from him jumping a fence is if he doesn't clear it

Well, maybe this...
