It was in two sort-of parts. The bulge at the top, then a bulge off the bulge. It the lower bulge that popped, you can see it still hanging off the top one. You recommend I tie it all off? This may be a stupid question, but does it matter if the floss is mint flavoured?

That looks more like a hernia than just unabsorbed yolk. Listen to Chooks on this 1. Mine like that never survive.

Oh my goodness!!!

I can't believe we won! Wow! Thank you everyone! And Congratulations to johnnyg07 on the second prize photo! I really loved your symmetrical arrangement with the little quail eggs in between!

I say "we" BTW, because the egg-chicken design was really the idea of my younger brother Josiah, and he spent literally hours painstakingly putting the eggs at just the right angle and spot to look more realistic. He is truly artistic in many ways! And he is a true farmer-boy and LOVES chickens, so he will be thrilled that we will be getting some of Brookhaven's BEAUTIFUL Barred/Blue Rocks! Congratulations Josiah! And thanks again everyone! Though my hatch didn't turn out well this time, the fun I had with you all (almost

)made up for the disappointment. Now I just have to make sure I don't mess up in hatching these special Barred Rock eggs!!!

He did a great job. The eggs really look like they flow from one end to the other, like feathers. Congrats to the both of you. Great teamwork!

Thanks for all your help and advice

Keep it separated in the brooder until it dries up more. If you have a Kleenex box, you can cut the top off and put paper towels in the bottom and put the chick in that in the brooder.

Thank you. I will do so. It looks like the burst bit has clotted up nicely. Fingers crossed the rest sorts itself out.
