Looks good....but a bit raw for my taste.

You have to start somewhere. I got carried away and didnt take any after pictures. Heres an after picture.

Okay, found this website that I thought was helpful. Maybe you have other ones that you would recommend for beginners. But this shows the eggs really well.

I see that I few that I have are very porous shells and clear....so I will cull these, but I do not see an example of what I saw...it was a dark thick ring around the entire egg. Now looking at these photos I realilze it is not a blood ring. By the ring, I am meaning it encompasses an area all the way around, like rings around Saturn. But I am not sure from there.

I am of course still learning and I hopefully will not learn the hard way and have an egg explode.

But this was a good place for me to start. I used a small LED flashlight in a dark room. I like this guys idea for making a candler light....I might have to try this. Looks easy enough.

Did you get yours from Pips and Peeps/Jean? If not she sold me some and it sounds like I'm also going to be looking for a roo that has different blood. Mind you I'm not counting my eggs before they hatch, just thinking out loud!

But now I see what CL means about A,B, C, D, and globalization.

Jean brings in new blood with her stock. I think you'll find no need to add new blood immediately.

Is it ok to feed a chick blueberry muffin?

Once my chicks are feathereed out I give them just about anything. I woldnt be inclined to feed a day old blueberry muffins but I dont know that it would hurt it really.

oh my, how long does she have and can she come home ?
Talk to the nurses there (the RNs) and ask what her options are at home, with a caregiver, and call Hospice, they work wonders with the dying, and can provide every comfort possible so she can be at home in her own bed with her family instead of a strange place...it would probably (I am willing to bet) be exactly what she wants.
Hospice should be listed in the phone book, if not, the head RN should provide it for your area.
They only deal with this very sort of thing, AIDES patients in advanced stage of disease, terminal cancer patients.
They have experienced compassionate and straight to the point caregivers.

We talked to the hospice nurse. The oncologist danced around the issue of how long. All he would say is months, not how many.

What we ahve been taught is that doctors don't like to give exact estimates because it varies widely. Sometimes people go sooner than expected, and other times they last far longer. *hugs*

All of them are starting to feather out now I think I have 2 to 3 different ages. I'll try to get individual pictures today.
