    Hey guys! So some may remember I posted about lil Frodo who hatched with a dent in his head. Well he's been a Labour of love! But he's survived and is completely thriving!

    Head deformity help.

    Hey guys so I ordered some Valley Quail eggs set them. Now I wasn't expecting many as with all shipped eggs their viability goes into the toilet. But I've never experienced what I went thru today. I'm absolutely devastated. I locked down what appeared to be 5 live eggs (movement on all except...

    Late hatched... Hope โค

    Just hatched out 18 chicks ... 1 really struggled to get out its shell. Had to help it a little at a time as I kept coming up against veins in the membrane. Took a total of 36 hours for the poor mite to hatch. By this time I was completely invested in this lil ones survival. It was floppy and...

    No eggs??

    I'm probably just being impatient but my Merry who I'm pretty sure is a hen has not laid a single egg yet. Her hatchmates have both been laying eggs now for 3 weeks but Merry just hasn't. Not a single one. Her vent is still small, but she has no bump and no foam and is displaying zero male...

    Once upon a time

    "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort." ~ J. R. R. Tolkien
