it is a big effort for these little chicks and it can sometimes take a whole day for them to hatch out. Don’t be tempted to help them though as it means they are not quite ready yet. They will have little sleeps between efforts too.

the egg yolk keeps them going for another 24 hours but they will peck at some chick starter crumbles so it is good to have that ready with some water in a shallow dish or something so that they don’t drown in it. I assume you have some crumbles already?

Subject: re: Lucky’s Garden In August
can’t find the right post….so might as well stick this into Lucky’s post….
just found a nice site with chicken feed hoppers (that could easily be made) and other poultry info
http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net/articles/poultry/food/
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Copied and pasted… I haven’t done any of the html stuff…from August chat I think…
No: from “Lucky’s Garden in August…
Putting this in here where I can find it…I checked all my chooks for earlobe colour and they are all red lobed…the oldest, Ringo, has paler lobes and comb ,because it’s old and not laying, but nonetheless still red. The white egg is laid about once a week only.
The mystery deepens.

are you really sure Ringo is not laying? At one a week…
I expect it is only a rule of thumb and is breed related so one of yours maybe a cross.

The intensity of the brown colour of eggs from reciprocal crosses between Australorp and Rhode Island Red chickens decreased with age of the bird in a non-linear manner.

Thats possible BG , Ringo was a high school hatchling so could be any cross breeding in her. But she laid brown eggs for near on 3 years. Maybe shes gone , as Lucky put it, whacko jacko lol.

Arrh ok..well it’s either that or another chook is flying in to use the nest box!

what it means is the older the chook gets the paler the egg gets (but not consistently.) So it could be that the one laying the white egg is an older chook.
I kinda recall that the brown colouring is a coating of blood cells layed down after the formation of the shell, but I can’t find a reference to it on the web. I think I read it in an old poultry book. Some breeds are more prone to this than others.

Sometimes no matter how hard you try things just don’t work out – there’s nothing more you can do. Unfortunately you never really can have the pleasure of having pets or raising animals without having the pain of losing them too – but in the end the good times are usually worth the bad times.

Aunty (HUG) for VG.
So sorry, Veg.
I am sad too, I accidentally smothered 2 of my ducklings the other morning – Sooty and Blondie – the only 2 I had named as it happens. I had them in a sleeve of my jacket (not wearing it), lying down with them and dozed off. Apparently 2 worked their way away from the air – really upset at myself and lucky I didn’t kill them all. So careless of me:( I should have realised that polar fleece fabric doesn’t breathe well…
It’s been an accident-prone week – have now broken a plate and 3 coffee- cups with my arthritic hands and clumsiness – as well which is nothing compared to the unnecessary loss of little lives. I planted trees over them – one is under a banksia and the other under a wattle…I am crying too telling you about it.Oh Cackles, what a shame, that’s so sad. You must have felt terrible and probably still do. (((( HUGS)))
Ta O40. Yes, I do, my own stupid fault…and almost too ashamed to even tell anyone. But if I take more photos (haven’t had the heart since), the question will likely come up what happened to the rest – so better to be up front I thought…

Ta O40. Yes, I do, my own stupid fault…and almost too ashamed to even tell anyone. But if I take more photos (haven’t had the heart since), the question will likely come up what happened to the rest – so better to be up front I thought…
Don’t feel ashamed Cackles, it could happen to anyone. I think it’s good to talk about it too, kind of sharing the load.
What OC said. Besides there are a lot of animals in the wild that suffocate (as well as other things) their young accidently.
Thanks, Pomolo.

I reckon that my bum would freeze up in this weather if I was a chook, too, LOL!!!
One of my chooks has decided to go broody! Go figure!
I figure that she’s a female and if she decides she wants to sit on some eggs right now, all I can say is “you go girl!” ;)
