OK I didn't finish the posts. I wanted to see how that chick is doing. I believe the bubble you are seeing is the crop with fluid and air in it. I've seen it a couple times. I believe both were sticky/late hatches. As for the bubble look at it under bright light if it's still...
Wish you lived closer. Just for fun and to torture myself what are you trying to rehome?
Ewwww!chew some gum or eat a mint. Smells like that get stuck in your sinuses.
Yay!!!!
So very very true! I love it.now if you would please tell my DH2B that we'll be golden lol
Thank you all. :) it means the world having friends who understand that a tiny chick or not it still sucks and drags your day down. After last night I fully expected it to be today but I hoped and prayed that the food would help her. I wish I had snapped some pictures of her snuggled in my hand...
Hi everyone. It was a long night and when I finally went to bed I didn't have much hope for Miracle but I had gotten some food in her again and I knew it was leaving her crop. Unfortunately this morning my little Miracle was gone. She fought hard and we gave it our all. She was a chick that I...
Hey all things have been pretty crazy around here. Sorry I haven't been doing regular updates the last couple days.
Family wedding Saturday and Sunday we drove to meet another bycer and get some broody chicks from her and her family. Sunday night we took our four guineas out of quarantine and...
Send them to me send them to me!!! Oh I'm dieing for another try. Still never figured out what exactly happened of the four seramas and 4 other dis eggs 5-6 of them appear to have evacuated the blood out into their shells upon eggtopsying. I can't find a distinct reason for it. Possibly they all...
Of course I know traditionally that is how it is prevented but I'm miracles case I don't think there was any way to get around it. I knew that as soon as I discovered her yolk that was all over inside her egg was rotting and starting to smell. I think in her case it was just rotten luck and...
While I love our roosters/cockerals we will never have that many. For the pure reason of we like to free range our flock and the boys are so rough on the girls. Yesterday my Pebbles(my favorite EE currently molting and naked on the back) was gang raped by three or four cockerals that are headed...
So sorry the little backwards chick didn't make it. Well sorry this is so late just got home from a wedding. Been a busy day. Miracle was doing poorly this morning. She couldn't stay balanced and would barely take any water. This afternoon I got a bit more in her. Fully supporting her while she...
Absolutely I will be giving her starter probably beginning tomorrow morning maybe tonight. She is now up on her feet although still unsteady. She hasn't been stargazing more falling over sideways. I'm so glad to see her up and wanting to fight. I don't think she's suffering and as long as I...
Love love love I'm so jealous we were looking after you said that but it's better we didn't buy. We don't have the money and this way we can hopefully get some more in the spring.
Before I forget @Sally Sunshine last night I candled all four eggs that were still in the bator but unfortunately...
I wish I could have shown you all everything I was trying to explain. That and the smell! Ick!!! Well let's just say after I was done getting her out yesterday I looked down at may hands and nails and saw I had yolk goop that stunk caked under several fingernails!!! Icky icky icky!!! Lol I can't...
Thanks yes our coop is very secure but these boys were out in a run BC they're on the freezer camp list. Not a big loss this time but still frustrating. All of our other losses have been while free ranging. Being in southern WI we crested 100* this summer and we will probably achieve -30 or...
@Sally Sunshine
Lady I would be bombarding you with pics if I could my phone will not post and I don't know why.
Regardless it doesn't matter as my phone is being the stupidest most worthless piece of technology ever at the moment. Ugh.
Now for the 5:30 update. This chick is incredible I just...
What an unusual roo! I've never seen a barred beard like that! Very cool! Okay so the baby is still alive in the egg. Yes it looks like yolk I suppose it could be just sticky goop but it really is quite a bright yellow although dingy as it's dry. The shape over the top of the chick is almost a...
