Pictures of Cinnamon's chicks:
I believe that this chick was father by a silkie roo
This was the first hatched chick and the most curious
5 of the chicks look like this one
The hatch rate was 7 of 8 chicken eggs
The egg that didn't hatch wasn't even fertile, so you could actually say we had a 100% rate on our fertile eggs.
The duck eggs haven't hatched despite being in the incubator for a week prior to going under her. Friend says that they are muscovy so it make take a couple more days...we'll see...

Oh that is very sad!!! Tell your husband is ok to cry. For the record, I am living proof. Grown men can cry. It only takes a day or two to become really attached.elevan said:SHE JUST PASSED AWAY!!!elevan said:Precious is doing great! She's my DH's babyDreaming Of Goats said:

Thank you ThreeBoysChicks. DH became so attached to her very quickly.
And thank you D.o.G. She was doing great when we left for our date. We were only gone about 4 hours or so and she was really quiet when we got back. DH thought she'd just worn herself out that day and wanted to sleep (she was sleeping at that time). And then he went to check on her before bed and came in to tell me that he didn't think she'd make it through the night...that she seemed "flat" to him. I checked on her a half hour later and she was gone
DH loves all the chickens (they are his girls) despite the fact that when I first got chickens he wanted nothing to do with them (fear of birds). We have a "million" little chicks to help him with his grief. I just hate not knowing what happened... :/

My sympathies. It is hard when you loose any of them but so much worse for the special ones.
Since she had a leg deformity it is possible she had some internal issues as well. Her short life was a very good one. Take solace in that.
