Same! Last I checked, I was over $150 on paypal alone, plus quite a bit into soaps/candles and shipping. Out of this money, I currently have one MF leghorn chick, one MW turkey, one royal palm turkey and one mix, three am's and I think that's it! My chicks are weak. Many of them die in the first...

I'm having problems with my own eggs hatching as well. I haven't hatched a single pekin. They internally pip and die. I've set about 40 of them without a single hatch. Oddly enough, duck eggs that I bought from the store, washed, older and refridgerated actually produced a duckling. I've been...

I have about a tray full in the sportsman, then the one LG is "full" and the other has lockdown eggs.

No. People bake them to help dry them out and kill bacteria, but that does absolutely nothing for the digestibility.

Yup. I've watched them clean up a broken egg in the nest and leave the rest alone, despite being covered in egg goo. I've also had an egg that never got broken in the slop bucket, they ate everything, rolled the egg out and away from the feed and never touched it again. Birds generally are not...

Does foaming bath salts sound interesting to anyone? Debating on making those or buying the rest of the stuff I need to make bubble bars. Foaming bath salts would, of course, be no money out of pocket for me, since I already have everything, lol.

Not at all. I toss whole eggs out (bator infertiles). They come running and eat them all up, and will go after ones that didn't break, but they quickly figure out that they're whole and leave them without ever pecking at them. They never break eggs to eat. They merely clean up the mess when...

Deb, I just throw the shells back to them. half the time I'm really lazy and just toss them out the door after I make breakfast.

Throwing eggshells in the garbage is against the rules here! They all get fed back to the birds. After seeing the quail shells, I had to go back and look for them in the "quiche" pan lol.

Ugh! Good luck! Migraines suck. I can't imagine them for a baby!

Well, finally ordered my monkey farts! They got the purple in sooner than expected, so I got to order two days ahead of schedule. :D Oddly enough, now I can't remember why I wanted purple and blue... I have red, yellow, green, black and white, plus purple luffah, but a few times I wanted purple...

I'm hoping to order the monkey farts by the end of the week. :D I am waiting for them to get my purple soap colorant in before ordering, lol.

I've been slurping coffee like it's crack for the past week and still can't seem to get anything done besides drinking coffee and peeing. Thankfully we have three bathrooms... I was attacked by a 20lb house centipede last night when I was getting ready to take a shower. Okay, so maybe it was...

Anyone have any energy or motivation they'd like to swap?

I have been having issues with them not losing enough during incubation. I think 8 have now hatched from this batch. Sounds awful, out of about 30 eggs, but some were from a terrible shipment with no packing and I never expected any to develop, let alone for one to actually hatch! I've been...

We bought the shelves like that for our garage. I think we're at 5 units now. I don't think G would be all that happy if I disassembled one to turn it into a brooder! They're $70 here, so depending on area, it might be a little more than $100, but still a heck of a deal. They are a little heavy...

JulieNKC's eggs arrived today. Lots of eggs and all arrived in great shape! Thanks Julie!!!

I can't give you an educated response for the toxins (slipping my brain at the moment), but my booster is honey, powdered feed (pop some into a coffee grinder set on espresso) and water. Enough to make it into a sludge. Depending on the situation, sometimes I'll *** a bit of salt, like when the...

I agree COF. I stay at home with the kids/critters, so everything here needs to pay for themselves, plus provide something for the family... eggs, meat, furs, etc. Or provide enough money to cover their own expenses and the expenses of something else that provides for us. To get ripped off...

Do you mind sharing plans? Have you done anything larger in it? I'm thinking duck/chicken and goose/turk.
