Maybe they're just sleeping

[COLOR=FF0066]I think that I worry too much, but after finding a dead chick and a missing egg....  My flock is in a state of unrest. The girls had to sleep in the dog crate and Smoke laid her egg in my ATV. I had to lock Penny in the pen to force her to lay in the crate. She was looking for a new spot because the coop is blocked off to keep Rumples safe.[/COLOR]  [COLOR=FF0066]The stress is awful!![/COLOR] [COLOR=FF0066]At least I know that I am not alone in this.[/COLOR]

Wait did that all happen just now? :/ Sorry things are so crazy

I have hatching fever!!!!

I hope I am not being too annoying posting about my babies all the time...but this is my first hatch ever and I am beyond excited!

Five of my seven are out so far and the last three were within minutes of each other. The first one that pipped seems like it is going to be the last of my Anconas to hatch, it has been approximately 25 hours but he's still alive and is making progress. The last egg from the barn isn't due until tomorrow (but it has several pips already). This has been by far the best Easter EVER!

Here is my first duckling now all fluffy:
