The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[Scrambles55]

Well.. I now know what Cody was sniffing in the nest. I am heartbroken. I had 7 eggs. There are now 5 eggs. As I cleaned out some poop from the nest, I found this... Warning.. it is a graphic picture!!

It looks like a fully developed chick, but some how the egg was crushed before it was ready. The dried yolk sac is attached. I could not find the other egg. I do have what I think is a pip.

As soon as Rumples returns to the nest, I am blocking to coop. I want her to be safe.. I am so sad.

Help! One chick came out and can't put itself up right, looks wrong or ill.... Is there anything I can do?

I ended up setting 24 blue Marans 12 Delaware and 12 EEs. First candle I'm down 2 Marans and one del. These are local eggs.

7 Delaware and 6 EE hatched and not a one with the Marans there are a few still alive in the egg but no pips yet

This one may have a bllod ring, but i found two others with bulls eye.

I think I see veins.

Thanks... that made me laugh and I really needed to laugh after finding a dead chick in my broody nest.
