Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

No eggs today, but I did find a frozen broken one next to the feeder. It could be Si's egg.

I do know that it was from one of my EEs. It was a broken frozen egg fart and Si hasn't laid an egg in over a month. She has been hanging out in the coop while the others play under the toy hauler.
Its going to be about 0 degrees tonight. I am worried about the girls. I am sure that they will be fine, but ... I still worry. The coop is small and I am sure that the body heat from the 4 of them will be ok. worry... worry... worry....

Thanks for the kind words. It's just so frustrating and heartbreaking! Poor little things. I was having a bit of a meltdown over it. I will try again, with local eggs, in a few months. But, I want to know what I can do to make it better. The small pores thing makes sense. I am very suspicious they suffocated. I could not tell if they had internally pipped or not. It was a brinsea mini advance incubator. So, would that mean I should increase the humidity even more to soften the shells, or make it less so that there is more oxygen available?

Roger, get 'em! You will not be vanquished! Besides, if OK would have kept you properly occupied with venison and pie, you wouldn't have had time to do whatever it is that I am positive you never did to those cars. If there were some sort of incident (which I am positive there wasn't) it would only be because you were hypoglycemic from insufficient corn and scratch.

We haven't precipitated this year. At all. Treasure those drops! My mother used to call snowflakes "snow stars," I believe mostly to counterbalance and irritate my dad, who had other descriptors for snow.

Oh, and lest I forget

Good Girl, Hattie! Now, it's time you had a little talk with Hecate. She is still being a freeloader.
 

R K Broody wanted to say HI. She posed for this when I took in fresh water this afternoon.



She also wanted you to see her back. Fully feathered.
 
RK is beautiful! amazing how they can recover from all manner of set backs!

Whoops, I sent a FB message to my local friend, should hear from her by morning anyway...

Post Master ride along tomorrow.

I should layer up really good so I don't need to use the heat.

Here is her chics



Notice little BO (once crippled) not missing a beat



Overstuffed BR's and still digging in



Delaware girls are able to compete with BR girls at treat time. They are huge


A pretty happy bunch. Moving them to the bigger coop and run soon. More room over there.
