hope your saving me 2 blue showgirl pullets

AND I can tell they are pullets how? LOL

I am saving quite a few, and hoping I have extra girls for you. Lots of the blues are turning out really light blue with splash as they feather in.

This was on the BYC of East ID fb page this morning, source unknown, but dang it is so cute! I had to re-share it here.

I'm kind of sad... it was pipping, and it had some blood on the shell and membrane. After a while (3 + hours of no progress, even though it was trying (hard to explain)but I did give it adequate at of time) It was having a tough time, so I helped it a bit (the membrane was getting super tough already) it finished getting out, and I had put it back inside of the incubator so it could dry off. After it got all the way out of the shell, I realized it has a really large/swollen adomen. It's actively chirping and trying to move now...but I worry that there is a good chance it may not make it.

Anyone down near Alpine that would have some free fertile hatching eggs? My brother's hen has gone broody and he is looking for some. I told him to look on KSL but thought I might ask here as well.

Large swollen abdomen can be quite normal...absorbing nutrients still...is the umbilical area herniated (is stuff popping out when it chirps?) The faster that little area can get dried up the better... if it stays moist it is more elastic and things can go south. When it dries up the fat little abdomen has a better chance of staying closed up until things can absorb. Sometimes if it is starting to herniate, I will hold it a little closer to the heat lamp, laying belly up to help get it dried faster.

I have 9 chicks about 3.5 weeks old. I really regret not adding an EE to my little flock when I first got them. Anybody in the slc area have an EE chick around the same age? Only pullets please

cal ranch in west jordan had a ton of older chicks that were feathering in. you know they are anxious to sell them. mostly the common egg layers like br, bo, leghorn, sexlink etc. the good thing is them being older you can be better sure of their sex.
