Just popping in to report: this is the first time since I integrated new birds to the flock that I didn't have to use the "stick of shame" to make them go to bed. My babies are still nervous of the ramp, so they waited patiently for me to pick each of them up and put them to bed.

 

I have quacks from one of my Saxony pair and also from my single Black East Indie! celebrate.gif

Would you? I'm flip-flopping because I really don't want to hatch too many more this year... but it's a great deal... but it's a whole incubator full... but... hu.gif

Definitely been a long and stressful day with my African being hurt. He is my favorite of my Africans and glad he will be ok, if he does not necessarily feel that way right now. At least it's nice having him next to spirit's pen so I am spending a lot of time with him.
Glad your sebbie is doing well. You will have plenty of time to bond with her once your next long weekend gets here. Bummer about the buffs, but I am sure you will love her grey babies. She is shipping my buffs on Tuesday. I assume she will send out your babies at the same time? If so, we can track our precious packages and stress over their safe arrival together. She has been giving me daily updates by email on my buffs for the past week. She said she was treating them extra special for me. Love her, she is so sweet.
Weird on the recurring lameness issue. I wonder if you should keep her penned and give her swim therapy for a few days to see if it helps? Perhaps also if you can describe it better on the thread, someone with more experience, like Celtic, may offer a better suggestion.
Eta... And by all means, call me by my name. It is actually a little weird to be called my husband's name. wink.png

Thats why I call you UTAH ! Unless you have something else you want me to call you.... Poultry Poster Mom lau.gif

Jaz, do you cook them differently than waterfowl? 

 

Utah is a cool nickname... I'll take the Poultry Poster Mom nickname as a great compliment too.  But if you want to call me by my name, it's Janet.  big_smile.png

Quackers, that is a lot of eggs!!  Sure you want to hatch out that many babies?  Think you can sell them all?
