The 4th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long

[JoyfulPromise]

KIDS!!!!!! we kidded!!!!!!!

Java had 3, all does but one passed :-(

Clarrise had had 3!! two does one buck, one of the does came inside to be bottle fed. her temp got to 95* when its supposed to be 102*.
put her on the heated tiles and she quickly got better!! she actually died twice i think... or close to it. because she stopped breathing and didnt move AT ALL

shes a spoiled brat now.. we let her walk around the kitchen and she gets to watch movies with us on our laps, and boy! she is living the high life now. no social life though, but at the rate we re going she will have a buddy tomorrow? everybody is having triplets, and they cant take care of all three. :/

I need some advice. Since today is day 14 it seems that many eggs can be sorted out? How can you tell if an egg is a quitter? I was able to easily determine the clear eggs even in the darker shells. I have seem movement in some but I have also read that the chick may not be moving. So how do you determine if a viable egg has died? Jill

Random question for ya'll:

This Easter, I am going to make these:




but to do so... I need one of these:
Also known as a wax pen or "kistka".

I've looked at all the hobby stores in our valley and can't find one! I could get one on the internet, but shipping is so expensive for such a small item! Does anyone either a) have any they could sell, or b) know how to make one?

Don't know if you've found what you're looking for, but I found this on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ukrainian-E...759?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5884eccddf

I think I've said this before, but we had a doe when I was younger. She passed away about 3 years ago. During her time with us she lived in the house and was upset when we moved to my grandmother's house because she couldn't stay inside anymore. Someone told us she was a Nubian/ Boar. She was like a little sister and mom even called her my sister. I've loved goats ever since.

Congrats Tammy N and LFchixranch! Yay!

I have a chicky!!! Pictures tomorrow, I hope. It should be dried by then, right? My broody is so proud of herself. There's a second egg that looks like it will hatch in a few days, so........we'll see what happens. I am exhausted now, and I didn't even do anything but wait and wonder! It's a good thing this hatchalong doesn't have a "Highest Drama" contest. I think I might have won it

Thank you all for being patient with my worrying!

Congrats!

the 2nd one hatches.
