So sorry you have to go through this and do the HORRIBLE wait! The best and hardest thing you can do is just try to ignore it, forget about it, and just plain be in denial if you want. What you need to remember is as of right no one KNOWS anything for sure. What you do know is your baby is healthy, kicking you, and alive with a pretty darn good heartbeat. Focus on those known facts for now and leave the worry till IF you find out something bad. As for if its DS well trust me there could be worse things. I have a DS 15 yr old stepdaughter. She was a perfect pregnancy with no warning signs, no one knew she had DS until after delivery. She is GREAT, super lovey, very smart considering and luckily has very few health issues. Another example is my13 year old niece. When they were pregnant with her they had the "scary" ultrasound and then the amnio (she had the extra chromosome) and BOTH said she was going to 100% for sure have Downs..and then when she was born she was perfect. She has the extra chrom BUT you would never tell, no outward signs and no learning disabilities or health issues.
So as HARD as it is just remember to breathe and for right now you have a healthy and kicking baby in there until there is some 100% proof of something else.
I will be sending you lots of good baby VIBES until you know for sure!!! ( OH and STAY OFF the internet. LOL ITS EVIL
)

I do miss little Harriet. She's so cute! She will go broody every now and then and she's a great mom.
Are these the calico cochins? (I think that is what RFF called them)...gosh they were so cute. I wanted them so bad, but DH and I talked ourselves out of it....but if they had not sold (to someone else) by the end of the day I WAS gonna buy them. Loved them.
That's them! When we first got them, I was not sure I made such a wise choice. The day of the show, the roo would attack me every time I opened the cage! Turns out he is really sweet, just all wound up from the show. The first day home, he hid from us, but now he seems to enjoy being picked up and admired. The hen has always been calm. They are living in an Eglu Cube in my greenhouse, I think they need some more friends to help populate their home, it is rather large for 2 small chickens!

Should be easy to ID - Spotted don't have "horns". With some photos I may be able to do that for you. It's been nearly 25 yrs, but in college, I spent my summers working for the USFS calling spotted owls (other stuff too - first hired on as a firefighter the first year they allowed women on the crews, but switched to wildlife after walking the skin off the bottoms of my feet in a huge fire in Utah)

Well, I was very bad and helped one of my araucana eggs to hatch. Normally, my son stops me, but he wasn't there and I hate taking out the trash while it's peeping. Sure enough, the chick was abnormal with curled toes on one foot and spraddle legs. I sighed and put on the showshoes and hobbles, then brought in a broody serama to raise it since the other chicks wouldn't stop knocking it over. Now day 3, hobbles and snowshoes are off and it looks normal. Hurray. I will toe punch it so I don't breed out of it but I feel very blessed. It is a bilaterally tufted araucana- very nice. Every now and then you can cheat Darwin.
