Chick Update

Posted on August 8, 2014 | 9 comments

DSC_0002-6

Hello There,

Yesterday was exciting indeed.  Two new chicks hatched!

As I reported in an earlier post, Goldie went broody and wanted to hatch some eggs.  She would sit on all the other girls eggs.  Since we don’t have a rooster we mail ordered some fertile eggs for her to sit on.  This is a new experience for us so we were excited to see if any of them would hatch.

After 20 days one Silver Laced Wyandotte and one Barred Pymouth Rock hatched.  They were a day early so that was a surprise.  They are so stinking cute.

DSC_0002

DSC_0001

The Barred Pymouth Rock chick had a hard time hatching and she came out with one foot all curled up.   So it didn’t stay that way permanently we made a little cardboard and vet wrap shoe for her to wear to flatten her foot out while the bones are still soft.  Should only have to wear it for 48 hours.   I chalked this up to another learning experience for me.  It’s amazing what you can learn from the internet!  I hope it works. . . .

I brought the two chicks inside and they are now housed in a brooder box equipped with a heat lamp to keep them at the right temperature.  I decided to hand raise them so they would be friendlier chickens.

I dipped their little beaks in the water and tapped on the food container to teach them to eat and drink.  I’m happy to report that both of are geniuses and eat and drink on their own, lol.

Goldie is sitting on five eggs still so we will see what happens today.  Hopefully we will have more cute chicks.  If  they don’t hatch today they probably won’t be hatching at all.  Fingers still crossed, lol.

May your day be filled with the wonder of life!

Until my next post. . . . . . .  .

Huge Hugs!

Northern Lights Pines – Stampin’ Up! Card

Posted on August 6, 2014 | 8 comments

DSC_0002 c

Hello  there,

I’ve been on egg watch, just 2 more days until we find out if any of the fertile eggs Goldie has been sitting on will hatch.  I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that we have a few hens and not all rooster and that the eggs will hatch at all.  Goldie is being such a good egg sitter.  I hope she gets something out of  her 21 days of sitting.  How amazing is it that a baby chick will form in the egg in a mere 21 days?  I’ll keep you posted.

About today’s project. . . . .

I thought I would do a little Northern Lights scene today.  What a great guy card.  🙂  I even kept the ribbon simple.  No frilly bows for the guys right?

You can find the complete supply list below for this project and also how to the get the tutorial for this project free or by purchase below.
