Wow another egg Mabey she won't stop until she hits seven

NO! Don't say that! Since this isn't her first clutch I did expect her to have more then she did last year (4) but now I'm wondering how much more. She and Ziggy are eating like little pigs (well, he does all the time)...

Six eggs? Wow! It will be an incredible experience.

Also, thanks for posting photos of the eggs as they develop, Aly. It is really neat.

It's hard to believe that in another week, they are due to start hatching.

Thanks Kathy! Watching the eggs grow is REALLY amazing. I can't believe that #1 is due this time next week...I'm starting to get a little (ok, alot) scared.:blush: I just hope everything goes well for every single one of the eggies! I got a bunch of disposable plastic syringes from my vet and Pedialyte just in case the babies need that first drop to gain some strengh and beg for food. I'm just super nervous for now-I'll feel much better when they've hatched ok and get through the first 24hrs.

I don't blame you for being nervous.

But I like to think that nervous means that you care and are making sure that you have everything covered.

Everything has been so far so good. Even, the #3 egg crack.

Right? :yes:

Hang in there.

 

[Aly]

Thanks! :blush:

PS...I might be wrong..she did another huge poop (I know TMI) and her butt has gone down-so she's confusing me at this point. Or I'm confusing myself. (probably the latter) So at this point I think #5 was it.

 

[Sophia]

Maybe there is more on the way! You are doing fine so far, keep it up, and keep calm!

 

[Aly]

Thanks Sophia! I'm trying to stay calm...they're doing it better then me!

 

[Sophia]

Your welcome, and Good Luck !

 

[birdieness]

Lol. Guess time will tell if she goes to egg #6. A week for your to hatch and 3 days for mine. I have a syring and i know where to get hand feeding fourmal in a heart beat. I'd like to get some egg food but were in the middle of a snow storm. Can't wait to see some tiel babies.

 

[Aly]

Thanks birdiness! Looking forward to seeing your babies too! She's done with her clutch-so #5 is the final number.

 

[xxxSpikexxx]

5 is a good number

 

[Sophia]

Good Luck with the 5! Not to many to be looking after!

 

[Kfontan]

Whew! Baby's butt must be exhausted.

Five is a good number.

How is Ziggy holding up?

 

[Aly]

Thanks Jaime, Sophia (sorry) and Kathy...
BUT I was wrong...#5 is not it. #6 arrived this morning.
They're both doing good. She's acctually letting Ziggy watch the eggs for her alot longer but I don't think she likes it. She sits right by him most of the time. So...we no have 6 eggies...

 

[Sophia]

Aly when you said Sophie was that meant to be me ??? Because my name is SOPHIA !! Lol!! Wow!! 6 Eggs ! Maybe there will be a #7!!

 

[xxxSpikexxx]

Wow 6 Come on seven

 

[Aly]

Aly when you said Sophie was that meant to be me ??? Because my name is SOPHIA !! Lol!! Wow!! 6 Eggs ! Maybe there will be a #7!!

I have a friend named Sophie and I keep typing Sophie and then correcting it! Sorry!!!:blush:

No Jamie...the more they have the harder it'll be on them. It's ok because I can help but still-

 

[birdieness]

Good luck aly. Maybe #6 is the last.

 

[xxxSpikexxx]

I know it will be harder but you will be able to help out There is no stoping her now though, how many can they have again? I just had a feeling she would have 7 eggs, I could be wrong though. Hopefully for your sake and theirs this is the last one

 

[Aly]

Whatever she wants to have she can have- I just get worried easy. They can have alot more then 6 though..I was reading someone's thread that said the hen had 11. Either way, I'm trying not to put too much hope into all of these little eggs as it's not certain all will make it to babies. If one makes it through to a healthy chick I'm happy. If not, everyone takes a long break and we try again later.
