I put 5 eggs into lockdown yesterday (Tufted Rumpless Araucana LF) and tomorrow I have over 20 that go in!!! Mostly EEs.

Stay tuned for hopefully BIG updates from me!!

Kudos to the homebirthing crowd.

100 years ago I would have been the 'died in childbirth' statistic so I'm a hospital girl... for childbirth anyway!

 

[2txmedics]

Yup I agree many Kudos to home child birth...Im a high risk and never could...but I did do most of my labor at home, by the time I got to the hosptial....get there and only be in 2hr and out with the babies...except for my last one, I was more stubborn with her...got to hospital at 2am and had her at 228am

Im stubborn, I wanted home births and was told no, high risk...my mom had 7 miscarriage and 3 of us...passed away on the last one. But I did do mine with no medication...Natural that way....

still only 3 zips...1145am

I'm high risk too

It's such a drag isn't it?

Well does anybody in SE PA want an Easter Egger chick?

No fair Red.....

Ive been pipping since last night at 9pm...and I still am and have only 3 zips...Ok, Question, how long before they are suppose to break out, latest?

I have this one, Maybellines egg, that I really wanted the chick, and the egg was cracked, so I had nothing to lose, I put candel wax on the crack which is at the end...Im worried that maybe it cant zip out because of the wax holding the shell together...so am wondering when I should help it...that one has been pipping since last night at 730...its now 1240pm the next day....

 

[pbjmaker]

Has Maybelline's egg pipped even? I might consider helping that one or at least scraping off the wax a little.

I still

Maybelline.

Sissy is referring to the DATE.
Today is the 10th... day 19 for you.
So that makes Fri the 11th day 20 and Sat the 12th day 21. So... yes, you two have the same hatch due dates!

I'm on day 20, so I expect a pip tomorrow.

 

[shelleyd2008]

How many coturnix have hatched so far?

ETA: I'm on day 20, and I've got at least one pip! But these are japs (hopefully) so they always hatch early

 

[RedHead]

I'm on day 20 today too, this one that just hatched out wasn't even zipped when I looked in the bater about 20 mins ago and then I looked in and here's what I saw lol
