Sigh. Ponder is the only survivor. The last six and the turkey all quit the day the power went out. To make sure I carefully pipped and peeked at every last one. Then looked to see when they'd quit. Almost...
Out of 26 eggs one quit early, the Araucana pullet sized egg, and seven went nearly the whole way. Ponder is the only hatched chick.
The rest were clear - and most of those scrambled when opened.
Now I need to find him a chick his size... the big fuzzies think he's a bug... And won't go near him. Anybody near Knoxville with tiny fuzzies?
I almost did pretty good. Almost doesn't really count, hmm? I think the thing needs a new thermostat as well, now it's not holding temp.
