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

[ozexpat]

Seems like a little bra-time somehow did the trick.  Got the legs re-trained a little. I'm going to continue this variety of chick physical therapy a bit.

Funny

It does the opposite to me lol

Just put 44 on lockdown, they have big air cells. Hope I didn't keep them too dry. None of the BCM were fertile nor the green eggs. Also, must have had one of the four buckeyes not fertile. So, 44/75. Not too good but would be nice to at least get a 50% hatch. Proud that several of the lavender orps I bought are looking pretty good right now. I was so upset early on when they didn't look like they would develop but they have. I think I only culled 3 of the 18 lavs. There were 3 that looked like died in process. Good luck to all the rest of you. Sounds like some are doing really good for lockdown.

Good luck to you, as well!

haha, zebra finches and a canary. i didn't realize the sound was on. better turn that off in case my husband starts loosing (he gets pretty foul mouthed lol) what you might be seeing is either my live turkey hatch, or my pre recorded chick hatches, the chick hatches will pop up automatically if my webcam goes offline.

Sweet birds. The sound came on/off repeatedly but is now off. I saw one zip & then was moved out. Cute little guy. Do you put them in a brooder asap? I'd imagine that's what's happening since there's not much room in that incubator for wobbling.

Gotcha on the multiple videos. I like that feature! Always keeps us with something to watch. Is it too much to ask how much you pay Ustream for a month? I've seen their ads & they always look pricey. That's why I do non-live vids on YT since it's free. I'm a cheapskate when it comes to stuff like that.

We truly are the lucky ones. The kids may never quite understand how their lives have changed.

here is a little of the story



The diary thread starts when Lorenzo was a little over one.

This is a beautiful story... Blessings to you and yours as you travel on this journey of life!
