Thursday 1/24 Three other eggs hatched last night. One from a brown egg (Brahma) father appears to be a Brahma as well. Other two were small white eggs. Momma's are Leghorn
father appears to be Boy George our Silkie. Both chicks look like they are wearing Tuxedo's.
Friday 1/25 Last day of Quarter/Semester - Waffle Day - Chicken Video due. Last night the last of the eggs hatched. This guy was in distress. Somehow the egg was cracked not from his pecking. Started to dry out. Did an emergency C section on the egg around 8 PM. Came in this AM to find the chick still alive but with egg glued to is wing/butt. Removed stuck shell, it had difficult time standing and when it fell could not roll back over. Wings are critical to their balance. Right wing was not working quite right. By the end of the day all was well.
