With all due respect, I don't think I would trust M2M in identifying anything with feathers.

 

Look at her track record, thinks baby ostriches are chickens, thinks velociraptors are chickens, and then tries to pawn these mutants on the rest of us.  D.gif

Well, one chick is out! We went to Impression 5 Center today to pass the time so I don't touch the bator. big_smile.png  Lots more pipping going on in there. The one that's out is from the mixed birds I had at my house for a couple days. I was putting eggs in anyways and decided to throw them in as well. This one is a lot cuter now that it's fluffed up...I think it looks like a T-rex...cause it's got a big head and little arms! lol.png

Hey Jenny, thanks. I have 9 silkie chicks that are growing like weeds. Lance is doing good. Such a pet. How can you tell males from females on the silkies?

I am tired. But feeling ok in the general gall area. No pains in the last week. Just like I said... Suddenly, it was gone. I am keeping on with my regimine. 

 

I did tell my DM that I am putting in my notice soon. Not yet. I decided that I need to get a deep freeze first. Like Olive, I prefer frozen to canned. So, the one I want is a few hundred, so at the very least, I will need to hold out a month.

 

I agree with RaZ.... Can not trust Moms bird judgement, even if she does raise cute mutations. She's almost got her "Island". LOL

At the very least, wipe the poop off your feet before getting in the car.

Hope it's okay if I ask this..but what's the best way to socialize my chicks? =) I want them to feel comfortable with us [and our kids] and feel okay being picked up. Like I said when we got them they were already a week old. The brooder is set up in our basement to keep them safe from the kids and our cats, but I go down there multiple times a day to check on them, change their water ect..but they aren't "exposed" to us all day. These are the first chicks we've ever had so I'm still trying to figure things out. Any thoughts? 

Mommy to two girls, 1 and 3. A surprise [I mean that in more than one way] baby due in September. 3 cats. 1 turtle. 6 hens..RIR, BR, Leghorn, NHR, Jersey Giant and an Americauna. A country girl stuck in the burbs [for now!]

When they are bigger and you bring them food - they will be your best friends. They will be on your porch, in your lap. Chickens are friendly when you feed them. No worries.  Kind of like seagulls at the beach, pigeons in the park.  Plus you will have handled these a bit so they should be good and friendly.

I dont know what the house does- they are in the middle of a industrial strip...well this black eagle thing always patrols there.

 

Now, it cant be a black eagle because according to the Google bible, they only live in Asia. ITs bigger than any hawk I have ever seen. Appears to be solid black- however, that may not be the case, but it sure looks like it. 

 

It is not a turkey vulture. 

 

 

It's probably a vulture even though you don't think so.  Want some more baby pics?

I posted a week ago about a BR hen I have with curled toes.  She is vigorous with the exception of her feet which cause her to sit and not move about much.  I've been dosing her with vitamins and electrolytes, hand feeding her cheese (niacin rich), and allowing her to set in the new grass which is also niacin rich.  No improvement yet.  She cannot roost but still makes it a point to get into a nest box and lay an egg.  It's either:  hereditary, injury, or other.  I'm banking on other and next week she gets snowshoes - hand made devices that will help straighten out the toes and possibliy reverse the curling.  I'm not giving up on this one dollar bird just yet...
