How's my surrogate mom (Sam)? Taking good care of OUR babies I hope!!!
Can't wait to see them in person. U should take a pic of them beside a quarter for size comparison. Do I need to go to court and file formal papers for visitation rights? Guessing formal papers would also mean child support- lol

So far so good but don't want to jinx things...one day at a time! The quarter is a good idea for sure...I did post a feeding video on FB today...you can see how small they are with my fingers for reference....and you can have supervised visits anytime!! LOL

Bad bad morning...went to feed the aliens and one has died? It was doing so well and was super active at last feeding? I feel like a failure ....poor lil guy...and now one is all alone

Oh Sam--you are breaking my heart!!! You are NOT a failure!!!! You have done all the right things for those babies, giving them a chance!!! They were doomed to begin with because their own mommy and daddy abandoned them. You are a good surrogate! If I had to have a surrogate I would want you!!! I do feel bad for the one left because it will be left alone but it will have you! So the one who died--is it the one who was always on its back?

Oh no! I'm so sorry. I've been lurking and following your posts. You didn't do anything wrong. You did more than most would do.

No but he never would eat again either and just passed too....it is confusing how they did a 180 on me....Thanks guys...it was a neat experience but heartbreaking...

So sorry Samantha..but you shouldn't feel like a failure. You did everything you could to give them a chance.

OMG, cuteness overload! The D'Anver chicks arrived today! They are in with our newly hatched, this weekend, guineas. I love the puffy faces and the clean legs

OMG! I just read this! How wonderful for you! Your breeding program will soon be a a reality project and tons of fun!
