Marty, tell me about it! I can't... now I'm overly stressed about the pidgey egg... as it is trying to internally pip. What's the latest report on your pekins???

I'm still waiting for anything. One was wiggling earlier when I candled. I think tonight I might make peep holes, and check for shrink wrapping. I just don't want to loose them all. Seriouly, what is the deal???

Well, Uno is dead. the girls were freaking out becasue he wasn't in the brooder. Looks like he either got his neck broke by a dog, or from jumping and getting it bend behind him. I'm very bummed, he was getting so big.

I can't imagine the wee dog getting him, but its hard to say. He doesn't like mauled, just his neck back weird.

Oh Marty! Poor Uno!! I really liked that cute little thing. I'm so pulling for my pidgey egg, your pekin eggs, Christine's ancona eggs, and anyone else eggs that are supposed to hatch this weekend!

I was just checking out the circumstances regarding Unos untimely demise. It would appear the 6 year old left the lid off (from turkey/quail tv) and Uno flipped up on top, and toppled over the edge of the next brooder over w/the chicks. He was kinda caught between the brooder and a chiropractic machine with his neck back. I'm not sure its broken, but I'm sure poor Uno is dead. This has not been a good spring for my eggs and babies. I figure in quail and turkey eggs alone, I've lost about $75.

Things better improve, or I'm just gonna go back to buying chicks or pairs, and incubating my own.

Tell me, everyone, is it me, or do our own fresh eggs really hatch better with less trouble than shipped eggs? I can' t remember ever having such a sucky hatch season, until we thought we'd buy some eggs to cool unusual breeds.

If I can just get a stupid pair, it makes it all better. Its not like than many Kansas go for rare/unusual breeds, so I can just pop over a hundred miles and pick up adult breeders. I think the closest hatchery is a 6 hour drive. My only back up plan is to make my mom pick up babies for me for some weirdos when shes in Springfield, MO in 2 weeks. I'd rather my stupid eggs hatch, and nothing bad happen to anyone else (or myself) today.

Is it a full freaking moon or somethign??
