awwwwwwwwwwwww a baby, congrats u 2.
Ack! Sorry Harmony, I was out dealing with frozen water and all that jazz. Looks like it all went OK though. See how it is, Commander SC? You just have to give them time. If they are left to their own devices, usually they are just fine! Hooray! So happy to see Swimmy. What breed is Swimmy?
Jay - your dancing description left me breathless with laughter. Please don't put your back out! Giggle...
HOORAY!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations see no need to worry swimmy knew what he was doing.
AAAAWWWW it is a cute little Chicky Poo
Jelly Bean said happy birthday swimmy!
{{{pant, pant, pant}}} Swimmer's gorgeous!
Thanks, C, back's fine. Think the last hip check did bad things to the kitchen cabinet door, though.
Now I'm over by the stove, mulling up the green tea citrus sipper mid-term hydration potion....
green tea
citrus juice
1 sliced orange
Cups all around... D| D| D| D|
Hi little guy, welcome to the mother ship.... Idn't you just the floppiest little thing...
=0)
Glad to hear you're taking a rest! I'd love some of that citrus potion!
Well, I have one beautiful yellow baby. I wish I knew what it was. Daddy is Duke, Brahma mix, mama is tweety, the yellow injured girl I have .
Here is mom.
ohhh citris potion sounds delicious!! One more to hatch. This one pipped last night or this morning sometime. So I wait.....again.
That's CO SC in the barcalounger... blissing out. LOL
Gotta stoke up, rest up, hydrate up for big Uno push...

Awwww.....widdle sweepy swimming, shhhhh evewybody, swimmy's sweepin'
Well i'm off to get some baten down the hatches a cold front is blowing in stuff.
See all yall later and JeanMarie i want to see that other chick when i get back LOL
All yall chicken,pigeon,goat,sheep,dove,peacock,duck,turkey,hog Folks have a good afternoon ^_^
I hope to have a pic to show you. Shoping for "baten down the hatches!" sounds interesting.
Que cute!!!
Number two is out and curled back up into a ball and fell asleep!!! There is blood. Is this bad??? Medic...I need a medic.
Medic Moxon reporting. No need for worry. Sometimes there is a little blood when they separate from the shell. Provided there is not "gushing" blood from the chick, you should be fine. Usually the blood comes from the belly spot where they separate from the egg. Ensure other chicks do not pick at that spot. They can be attracted to blood.
Medic Moxon over and out.
Congrats!! CO SC, good work! Most fine confined aliens.
Pop! Fizzzzz..... time for celebratory bubbles...
...D-|
Here's to the power tool chicks! ....D-|

**gulp**
***gulp!***
Thanks crew you are all the best. The new one seems to be a bit slower than the first. It is sleeping still and does not move much. I am trying not to worry. Its fuz is hard though. Cab I get it a little wet to get rid of the hard yuck.
CMoxon, there was stuff hanging a bit from the belly thing...it came off though. So it will be okay now.?. I think so too. No extra blood. Just initail gush. Here she is now. (just guessing gender, no special powers here) hehehe
Here is swimmy, he has changed so much since you last saw him...LOL Swimmy has feathery legs! hmmmmm...curious.
Could Swimmy have feathery legs from Daddy? Brahmas have feathered legs. Does the mom have feathered legs? Try not to worry about the second one - some are just slower. Some don't always make it but I will hope for the best for your little ones.
As for wetting it to get off the hard yuck, I would say wait until it is pretty much fully dry, and then use a warm damp cloth if necessary to soften the yuck and get it off. Do not immerse the chick in water. It really needs to be kept warm rather than wet...
Swimmy just looks adorable, and very perky!
Swimmy, the next superstar of the coop!
Perky his little fuzzy backside... he's got Presence! (the crowd roars)
Mike J Fox...
adorable presence =0)
Thanks! He is a mix of white and yellow. Really cute!
Yes dad Duke has feather legs. Mom does not. She did as a baby I think, then they all went away. Maybe she shaves. LOL Those emarrassing leg feathers ya know?
I will wait until its a bit stronger to clean it. It is still really sad looking. Just laying there breathing. :( Thanks for the possitive thoughts for her. She needs them.
She is trying to get up in the hatcher. She moved a little bit just now. :) its working!
{{{{stretching and limbering up for chick waddle dance}}}}
Oh shes breaking out the good stuff! Stand back people and watch her work.
Forehead forward...
arms akimbo (I love that word!)
bend yer knees...
leeean forward.....
beautiful babies!!! congrats!!!
Actually, commander, I have to confess I don't actually know this dance...
I was sorta hoping CPO Moxon or Harm would come along and instruct this lowly private...
Guess we'll just have to fake it....
Peep. peep. stagger to the left, flap-flap, stagger to the right, flap-flap. pause. peep peep. step one step flap-flap.... ruuuuun flapping, peeping, fall over barcalounger. Peep peep peep WHEEEeeeeee!!!
