Who's hatching 6/10 also broodys due 5/27 hatching, 6/3, 6/5,

Sigh, another iffy go from Gail's eggs (bourbon red) I SWEAR her eggs seldom if ever hatch. Once again they're struggling. I suppose I just wait it out and watch em die... but grr.

I suppose it works out that she was eaten by the fox. Hatching her eggs has been nothing but repetitive trials in either patience and sadness or assistance. The few I have from her appear fine but... we'll see, they're tagged.

The two new Buff hens have decided to co-brood their eggs. So they don't need me.

At least the guinea eggs for the next round look good.

Maybe one of these two will make it. One is slightly stronger than the other...

Well, I candled the eggs a little bit ago. No good on the tiny banty egg. It was clear.

I candled on Saturday, and took out 6 that looked clear, or had red blood rings. I finally had the courage to crack a few open that I pulled! Sure enough, nothing was happening (day 10) and either they looked like a regular egg, or the yolks were yellow and broken and watery. I left in a number that were questionable of my wishful thinking. I'll candle again, and pull them too. Some are so obviously with chick! Moving, I can see the shape! I guess the ones with just masses and no veins stopped developing...I'll be lucky to get 25% to hatch, I think!

I'm slowly nudging this pair of poults into the world. After the last dampening both have started to peep much more strongly. Unshrinkwrapped poults coming up.

Forgot to add I still have 6 developed Silkie eggs under her!

I also think guessing June 10th may be later then I think they will hatch. I so forgot when I put them under... I know it was at least before my mom's birthday on May 23rd. Hmmm....

I should be playing, guess that hatch date!!! LOL

Wow, you guys are busy! I'm in there hatching with you on the 10 and on. I have Creme brabranters (shipped) coming along and should hatch the 10th or so. Then are the Blue Laced Red's coming with a couple of EE's and bantys, the next couple of days. Followed by 200 +/- coturnix quail eggs the 12th/13th. A couple days of a break and then 15+ lemon blue cochins on the 18th to 19th. Along with all of those chicks I have 3 does due to kid during the same time frame. Its gonna be a crazy month.
