Here's Opps and it's shadow.

It's hard to see the shadow tho but I hope it pips on it's own and misses the veins. @ronott1 the shadow is at the bottom of the egg and the egg carton is against that part. Should I remove it from the carton and rest it against the water wiggle?

And then my helper for working on my pen.

Baby Luke just has to help me with everything. (The meatie is 7 weeks old)

That baby duck is adorable! And that meat bird..ha..had to bring my DH in to take a look. We were looking at them today at a feed store. Man they grow fast...isn't it about time that one of yours went to freezer camp? Looks nice and plump!

Nice job!

You can move it, just make sure it will not roll around.

Hatch little chickie!

Next week that one and the biggest will go to freezer camp. Im getting tired of feeding them. And thank you. Luke is my baby and is in fact sitting in my lap talking to me now

I moved my broody to her own pen last night (I even transferred the bedding from the old nest), but she wanted none of that! She didn't sleep on the nest and demanded to be let out with everyone else this morning, even though she had food and water in her pen. But after a little bit, she got back on the nest in the main coop and continued her broody behavior. So I guess she is serious! I gave her my only two viable eggs from the incubator! ...and now I'm soooo nervous!

It's hard to give up control.

Oh, and a related question - the other hens are laying their eggs right next to the broody, and she is stealing them. Every morning when she gets up to go eat, I take them away. But are they safe to eat after she's been sitting on them all night?

We wished him happy birthday on the Old Folks Home thread, which is amazing since our memories are kind of fading...
