dirtychicken Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 OMG OMG OMG!!! My new Silkies chicks are due on Thursday and her owner says if I want to I can take her and all the chicks free of charge so that he has more space for another broody he's got. They're Brahma eggs she's sat on! If I do get her chicks aswell then I'm going to have to do a bit of re-arranging of coops.......... What a lovely surprise! How exciting So either Cora is now Top Chick after her adventure, or she will realise what happened and drop dead later on! Fingers crossed for the first option Good boy, Jed I candle eggs using the light on my phone. I have just discovered that if I shove my phone down my bra, pull my cardi over my head and shove eggs up my t-shirt I can candle during daylight hours. Waaaaahahahahaha!!!!!!!! I think we need photographic/video evidence of this event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoebejo Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I've been candling properly, in the dark! I think I've lost a Houdan, it looked blood ringed but I've put it to one side in the incubator and I'll check in a few days before removing it. The good news is that I saw two Wyandottes alive So as it stands I think I've got 4 Orps, 4 Houdans, 6 Polands, 3 Aracaunas, 5 Dorkings & 2 Wyandottes And maybe some surprise Brahmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celeste Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Awwwwww, wee things ...............when can we see, when can we see ? Poor Emily, hope she's not too poorly I've eaten my own eggs for the first time tonight amazed at the difference, not just taste but that the egg doesn't spread out all over the place, but stays in a neat little dollop..........remarkable.
