Just candled my eggs for the HAL. 10 quitters, 5 clears, and 4 that could either still be alive or just barely died last night. I hate this game!

Birdman, sorry you lost your last Leghorn but I know she had a good life with you. Thanks for being so good to your girls.

The-bird-man, I'm sorry about your leghorn too.

Bummer! And the first time with your new bator. I'm so sorry! No fun at all!!!

I had a Wheaten Marans hatch from ladycats this morning, yay! It is adorable, pics to come. I was shocked, these eggs look pretty bad, and are already a day late--one FBCM is pipped, that is it.

Red, I'm so sorry those eggs are not doing well...you may want to keep them all in until at least day 10 though, I have often had eggs be just fine that looked funky or even clear in the beginning, and they seem to develop at a different rate in the beginning too, some will vein a lot faster, etc. Day 5 is awfully early still.

Lisa, hooray for your Marans baby!

Ok, this is going to sound like a "poor me" post, and I'm sorry - I don't mean it that way. I have been wondering for a while if my flock of Icelandics wouldn't be better off with someone else who can do more with them. I really want to see this breed succeed and build it's numbers, and that's obviously not happening with me. I don't know. I love my babies and I don't want to give them up. I feel really conflicted right now.

But if I give them up and try with a different breed, who's to say I won't have the same problem? I just don't understand why I am doing so poorly at this hatching thing!

Okay enough with the dang negative news. Here is something I thought was a little funny. DH was messing with the tiller a moment ago, ad two of my girls decided that the churned dirt was the perfect place to have a bath.

 

[the-bird-man]

hahaha red my girls do that too. monthly or so in the warmer months i also take my tiller through their run and they go crazy.

so you getting your garden in soon then?
