Lost my Tiny Self Blue OE last night...she has only ever laid me one egg and Friday she was in the nest box when we left for Newnan...when we got home Sat it was dark so she was on roost...Sunday she spent all day in and out of box and looked like she was straining and was all puffed out so yesterday morn I put her in a sink of warm water for half an hour with no luck.Then I put her in a crate on a warm pad and she ate and drank well. I had hope because she looked like she was feeling better but still no egg.Then at 4am she had what sounded like a seizure and by time I got to her she was passed.She must have been egg bound but I am not sure what I was feeling for trying to check.She was nice and meaty,clear eys/nose,no trouble breathing,and no sign of mites. I wormed my flock about 3 weeks ago.

I was told by a breeder that this was a problem to watch for when I bought my other gal who lays all the time...he talked me into a bigger gal of his so I would have a good layer since my guy is so small and I will sill get small chicks.....

Trying to catch up on the thread and saw this--so sorry! I know you really liked them as I remember you mentioned them in your motel room....

i actually live in Sugar Tit but it's called Greer now. Intersection of 101 and Off of Kist rd.
I do miss the green of home. Here in arizona it is the color of cement dust and every place is surrounded buy 12' high cinder block walls. Reminds me of Colorless jail cells.
Can't wait till things straighten out here so I can go home and be with hubby and the 17 'girls'.

@dixiebeast I used to work down in Laurens County, well until last week when I quit. Now I'm a stay at home Dad, teacher, nurse, gardener, chicken dude, handyman, husband, etc. Not necessarily in that order.

Here are some pics of my Blue and Black Mottled gals from Nella and a silver laced I bought...The silver laced is already playing in the nest bucket!

Oh, how lovely! You have beautiful new babies!

My bator is on lock down with french cooper marans. I've been so sick lately but seeing eggs hatch makes me feel better. The problem is I'm running out of space. Then Amy displays another cochin and my mouth starts watering and my hand starts itching. OH! Man!
I told my husband that when I grew up, I wanted to be like Amy. I want to be a chicken wizard. To be able to make beautiful chickens. Amy you inspire me.

Robin, you say the sweetest and funniest things!
You will have your own beautiful, loveable, darling baby Cochins hatching and will be just like me.....soon over run with them and not be able to get rid of them very easily!

I am glad that the chicks make you feel better. They make me smile, too.
I just put 6 Ameraucana, 2 Mottled bantam Cochins from my new breeding pen and an Olive Egger in the hatcher today so we will be hatching together!
