3 out of 7 hatched from the bator, the silkie mixes must not have been viable or something. I'll candle them tonight. The broody hatched 3 of her 4, I'll candle the remaining egg under her tonight too. 6 out of 11 total so far isn't bad (for me anyway lol)
Still doesn't look like any growth in my eggs :/ Haven't checked the 3 under the broody yet. *sighs* maybe I'll have to buy a few from the mill after all *wink*
Popping in tonight to say howdy. I'm sorry to hear of doggy difficulties and hatching difficulties! Hope everyone has a better tuesday. I have a painful fever blister on the side of my mouth and I hate them! Gotta get some abreva or something *sighs*
I have my first rehearsal for the...
Howdy y'all. Discovered why my little silkie rooster has been sluggish and sicky. Mites. Tiny little yellow mites and eggs covering the base if all the feathers on his head and neck. I kinda freaked. Bathed and blow dried and dusted the crap out of him with DE (all I had ....) obsessively...
Ugh. This rooster in my basement is gonna drive me batty! Hope we get an outside pen/box or something for him. Just couldn't leave him in with the broody lol maybe I should've risked moving her instead...
Popping on to say good night ya'll! Just can't seem to stay up much past midnight anymore! *sighs* Gonna try to start a swap/sale/show thingy Shrewsbury pa, south of York pa, for hobby chicken keepers ^^; The planning stages aren't goin so hot. Ah well, Can't hurt to research/chat right? *yawns*...
Howdy doody! So I candled the eggs in my incubator and it doesn't look like a single one is developing anything, it being nearly a week ya think something would've veined by now if it was gonna eh? So does this mean I'm out of the hatch if I don't have any viable/developing chicks? *sighs* Hope...
Howdy doody ya'll! So to totally crack me up, my rir, leghorn, silkie, and one stubborn ee are all taking turns trying to be broody. xD Yet none of them stay on the clutch for longer than 24 hours (I go back to check and they're on the roost, eggs cold in the nest) I think they're confused lol I...
Howdy ya'll! I might have to smack my little broody hen if she didn't get her fluffy butt back on those eggs today! I know it was gorgeous but I hope that doesn't mean it broke her of being broody already xD Grrrrr. She was out in the run just scratching to her little hearts content. The eggs...
Howdy all! Had a blast dancing ^^ loving all the pictures! It's been raining here since yesterday at 10 am! Lots of flooding going on. I had the dickens of a time trying to walk all the dogs at the boarding kennel this morning! They didn't want to get their paws wet and instead preferred...
Square dance tonight! xD Been a long time lol Not sure how this is gonna go. Can I just take my violin and see if the fiddlers will teach me fun and cool things?
GOOD LUCK! ^^ I am so very excited and nervous lol I only got 4 silkie eggs (which I had planned to give the chicks to a friend) but now that means I had all this room to set olive eggers xD but i'm gonna wanna keep those! Augh! Maybe I'll be over it and willing to find them homes... I...
I put 4 ee and oe eggs under my tiny lil bantam cochin, (i was shocked that she fit them! xD) I put 4 silkie and 3 oe eggs in my brinsea, and I tried to put 4 mixes under my slightly broody rir but I'm not counting those in my total since I'm not convinced she'll stay put xD
So Total set: 11...
Bahahah, no I just popped in and saw over a thousand posts and said nope! lol
In other news, my remaining cochin bantam went broody! Does that count for the hatchalong if I stick em under her at noon tomorrow? xD
I'm finally dragging coworkers to our swing dance tonight!! xD Gonna be a...
Popping in to say Howdy. I am in such need of a nap! No rest for the wicked eh? xD One of my two bantam cochin hens went missing on Friday :( She hasn't turned up so I'm guessing hawk or fox. RIP Adele *sighs*
Hope I can scare up some silkie eggs for the hatchalong! otherwise looks like I'll...
