Frieda took Fudge (my lone hatcher) and the feedstore chicks out today... ...and had a dustbath in real dirt.
fudge! What a cool image too
 
That's so cute!  She is so interested in the mirror!

They all love it! We found it in the dollar section at the hardware store. Best dollar I ever spent. So much bigger than the bird mirrors in the pet section, and cheaper too!

awwwww  I have no idea what to tell you about her

Svetlana is doing much better. She has been interacting normally with the others. Playing chase, eating and drinking great, and checking herself out in the mirror. Hopefully she just had something in her eye or got pecked. Will repeat the lubricant ointment tomorrow if it's still irritated.
good news! Look at them! Ach du gut!!

I am always hatching something, I set below and I think my duck eggs from CHOAS just pulled in!! I had three trays of eggs fall into the bator today, some are probably too old, procrastinated setting, have four dozen serama to set later tonight too.
Halloween oh no!!!!!! Thank you so much I have enjoyed it immensely. I cant keep up with the other thread im always like 3 or 4 or more pages behind.
youdont need to read back And keep up. Just post your updates and pictures and help others when u see someone asking. No biggy too keep up. Only reason I read back is to not miss info to add 2 our notes! Lol
 
Well, set my eggs in the April hatch a long, they hatched in the May hatch a long, They are coming up on a month old and now I have another broody. Guess I'll have to reconnect on the broody thread. Thanks Mike and Sally for all your time and effort. Its been fun.
good luck broody mamma
 
It hatched! It seems to have an open navel, though, & is bleeding a little. I'll have to look up what to do for that. My last hatch the chicks had navel issues, too, and they were all fine, so I think she will be ok.
Good Luck with the baby!!!

i would put turkey eggs under her, good luck!

Ok so interesting update on my rescued duck eggs! I candled them when I moved them into the incubator with 11 out of 13 showing veins and heartbeating blobs

, and guessed them at around a week or so old (this was Sunday).
Now last night I candled again and SURPRISE! one of the "duds" is now growing! Wee little veins and heart are there trying to catch up with the others lol! I guess it was one of the outer eggs in the nest and just didn't get the right temps to grow till the incubator? So now this poses a problem with hatching day doesn't it? Any suggestions?
WOOHOOOO!!!
