Hello Fatty!


Fun Shoe
Please name one of your chickens: Please stop teasing me about my ridiculous name. I am well aware of how obnoxious meta humor can be but am in no position to change it. Please, I beg of you, be considerate of my feelings. Also be aware that any opinions expressed in this name are not reflective of my own personal beliefs nor those of my owner, who was foolish enough to let the internet name their pets. I do not have personal beliefs. I am a chicken. Thank you, and never forget that Jefferey Epstein didn't kill himself.

(not a serious suggestion in case you haven't guessed)

E: lmao I am the godking of the terrible page snipe

#29 has just been hatched with lots of help and some great work of their own!

'Hope' is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune, without the words, and never stops--at all.

#29 has hatched with a bit of assistance. I ended up having to pop her out. Just too tired to kick out herself, I guess. A tiny bit of a bloody navel, which I put some Kwik Stop on. She looks fine otherwise and we'll pick a name in a bit.

No new pips on any of the other eggs right now, but we always leave the eggs in for 3 days past hatch day (which is today) to catch any stragglers. And yes, I am certain there are term chicks in there.

So we now have 5 chicks! If that's all we get, I may try and move in a broody mom.

So I picked up each and every egg, felt them and looked--no pips. Couldn't tell about possible peeping because Brock was peeping.

This hatch may be done, but we'll leave everything as-is for another couple of days, just in case.

We tuned in just as you did this and were excited to see you interacting with the eggs. Tell Brock hello for us.

We also heard you "cheep cheep"-ing and it was a fun end to our day.

^^^All of the names are posted in the OP, as well as when pipped and hatched.

Brock is going to spend a few more hours in the incubator, I want her stronger and more sure on her feet before I move her into the brooder. I'll get some pictures of the other chicks and post them.

Hoping for more chicks... and THANK YOU to everyone on Chickam who helps us out by watching over the eggs and chicks, you are all Honorary Broody Hens. Feel free to chase and growl at whoever is in your immediate vicinity, maybe bite them just a little. You guys are really great and are my eyes & ears when I crash out and just have to sleep.

EDIT--#8 has pipped and is a LOUD chick. It's Slick Charlie's egg. Slick Charlie is a partridge Rock hen we got from the feed store last year, and LOVED by the boys.

And Slick Charlie fanart from 2021 by Sharpest Crayon:

As you can see, the artist captured her perfectly!

Bonus pics of chicks in the brooder!

Left to right, back row first--Chris and FLICKER. In front, yelling, is Become Ungovernable


Become Ungovernable on the left. FLICKER and Chris on the right in front, FLICKER has the dark brown backstripe bordered with white, Chris is the chick that looks JUST like her except no white stripe border. Arson is the bigger chick on the right with the light gray chest.
