well, I came down here to report  that it is 3 boys and 2 girls.. by the time I turned on the puter, it is 3 girls and 3 boys..  we thought she was done..  No runt yet..

Annie moved the pups to the dog bed and Nora followed immediately.  the couch is all wiped down, and safe enough for Dan to sit on..    That Nora is sooo laid back.. she let us take the pups as they were cleaned off by her.. no problem,,  not even with Prince hanging around..

I will take pictures , for sure,, but I still can't send them..  I will have to take a photo sending class..

the cockatiels have 2 eggs in their nest box..  tomorrow she should lay the 3rd one..

there are 12 goose eggs in the 3rd goose nest..  It is a community nest.. the seb goose sits on them all night and the gray goose takes over during the daytime..  the angel winged goose has her own nest behind the garage.. only her own eggs,, IDK how many..  4 I think..

have 5 quails in the natcher.. have to set up a TV for them.. 

I got all the drawers glued and screwed..     I need a nap..

...........jiminwisc..........

Jim- Congrats on the puppies!  Good job Nora!!!

TO-Sorry to hear about the frustration with the vet/lab.  I hope you can get it all straightened out.

I can't remember who asked about boy goats and their stench but...boy goats stink unless they are fixed.  For what I remember about, dairy goat people tend not to keep the bucks with the does since his sent can taint the milk....I can't say for certain though as it's been a long time since I got that bit of info...

Well, everyone here is good!  I'm getting another buck for the heard tomorrow.  A Champagne D'Argent named Dimitri.

Have I got a Barbarian update for you guys....The Barbarian was busy this morning.  I woke up to the crash of a cat food bowl. He was giving Alms to the Poor.  (The Poor are the dogs). Normally he fishes out some kibble and tosses it on the floor for them.  Not this morning at 6:30.  He decided to empty the coffers.  And speaking of fishing....he also managed to get the lid off the betta's bowl and fish the betta out and the fish has disappeared....He made a horrific mess in the kitchen.  I almost blamed the dogs thinking some one had a rare accident, when I placed my hand in the puddle of water on the counter....then discovered the lid off the betta bowl.... then discovered a missing fish.....

Needless to say Bubba is on my list.....

I think the hatch is over for the moment.  I'll give them another day before I call it quits on the first wave.  I have 12 Icelandic Chicken eggs to set as well.  I got them today so I will set them tomorrow.  They traveled locally so I'm hoping to get a good hatch...

Well, I need to check the babies and the bator...Later all!

update..  now there are 7 puppies..  IDK the gender of #7..

I just transferred 6 turkey, 16 del and 36 barrock to the hatcher..  (58 total).  floated all that were still  in there.. 1 quail is still moving..   had a quail egg blow up in my hand.. how can such a tiny thing stink so bad ?  2 turkeys are pipped already..

I have about 7 dozen guinea eggs to set..  found 3 dozen on the door step this morning..  I suspect it was Jim P  who dropped them off..  It is a good thing I can double stack guineas..

bbl   ............jiminwisc.......

ETA:   #7 is a girl

If your drooling that bad, you want some if any hatch?  You need more chickens for that beautiful coop.....

Someone is giving me 4 roosters like I need them! Maybe we could start a "Rooster of the Month Club"! Anyway, I haven't seen them yet, and the lady I'm getting them from is not a chicken person, but she got them at TSC. She said one is black and white striped. I know TSC had bared rocks. So... I think I recall someone saying they needed a BR roo?
